During pregnancy, the female body goes through significant changes to support the growth and development of the baby. These physiological and hormonal changes can cause strain on various part of the body. For example, as a woman’s abdominal and breast weight increases, more pressure is placed on the back, shoulders and neck. As a result, the spinal joints can become misaligned, which impairs the functioning of the nervous system and can cause pain.

​

Chiropractic care is a safe, effective and drug-free way to maintain the health of the woman and her baby during pregnancy. In particular, chiropractic care can relieve muscle and joint pain caused by misalignments of the spine. By relieving pain and promoting the proper function of the nervous system, chiropractic care also enables a woman to have a less stressful pregnancy.
