Being pregnant is an exciting and often overwhelming time – it’s also one of the most important times for a woman to receive chiropractic care. From the moment of conception, your body will start to go through a series of changes. Pelvic, back, and postural changes often cause unwanted discomfort and pain. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help.

How Can Chiropractic Help During Pregnancy?

Did you know your spine is made up of 24 independent vertebrae? They allow your body to bend, twist, and move. These vertebrae also help protect the delicate central nervous system and coordinate and control every organ, tissue, and cell in the body.

Subluxations, or joint dysfunctions, of the spine occur when two or more vertebrae become restricted and interrupt the body’s ability to communicate with itself. During pregnancy, joint dysfunctions can be caused by the many changes taking place in your body as it prepares to support you and your new baby.

Changes including weight gain in the abdomen, rotation of the pelvis, and poor posture force the body to adapt to additional stress placed on the spine. These changes impact nerve communication and joint function throughout the body. Dr. Tracey Stiles has many years of experience in locating and correcting joint dysfunctions with gentle, targeted adjustments to the body’s spinal column and extremities (where and when needed), which restores proper joint function and improves nerve communication throughout the body.
