During pregnancy changes in the centre of gravity of the woman´s body occur. The body must constantly find its balance and adapt to the new state, the increase of weight and the organic changes associated to the pregnancy. This produces constant tension in the pregnant woman´s vertebral column.

The descent of the fetus into the pelvic cavity often is accompanied by more or less discomfort and/or pinching in the lower back, as well as in the pelvic bones and joints. This discomfort is associated to the stretching of the pelvic ligaments in the preparation for birth. The nerves to the uterus, the lower back, pelvic muscles and the sciatic nerve originate in the lumbar spine and sacrum.

Apart from the physiological discomfort directly associate to the increase in weight, and the body´s new centre of gravity, the pregnant woman may also experience the classical discomforts associated to hormonal changes: morning sickness, dizziness, swelling, fluid retention and general feeling of fatigue.

A vertebral column free of subluxations, which cause nervous interference, as well as improved flexibility to adapt to the gestation phase, facilitates fetal positioning into the pelvic cavity (Webster Technique).

During pregnancy the tendency of the vertebrae of the spine to misalign and the imbalance on a nervous level increases notably due to the various changes the organism experiences. Your chiropractor can help you with the typical spinal discomfort associate to pregnancy and at the same time prepare the pelvic structure for a smooth delivery without complications.

Chiropractic is a safe and natural method whose benefits the expecting mother can enjoy up to the moment of birth.

Chiropractic care is recommended and efficient during pregnancy-facilitating the adaptation process, balancing the pelvic area, and improving function of the nervous and muscular systems using soft manipulative techniques.
