What Is Prenatal Chiropractic?

When you're pregnant, you experience tenderness, soreness, and pain in areas of your body specifically due to your pregnancy. A chiropractor trained in prenatal chiropractic services is attuned to these specific concerns. Additionally, they understand how to perform adjustments and stretches in a way that is safe and productive for you and your developing baby. 

As with anyone, your joints can become misaligned during pregnancy. With pregnancy, however, you have strain on your body in a specific way. At Estner Injury Centers in Rhode Island, we can provide you with a safe and relaxing experience.

Expect help with stretching, movement, and a soft, safe adjustment. Your chiropractor will want to know about your daily pain level, changes in your body due to the pregnancy, and any symptoms that impact your comfort and daily life. The healthier your body, the better for you and your baby.

During your treatment, we may move adjustable tables to accommodate your pregnancy. We may also ask you to lay on your side so we can perform stretches and other treatments from a position accessible to us and comfortable for you. 

Why Get Pregnancy Adjusting Services?

Pregnancy puts strain on your body. It changes your posture, where you carry weight, and how often you exercise. All of these factors affect spinal and musculoskeletal health. Doctors worry about proscribing additional medication for a pregnant person for good reason: it could harm your baby. However, a chiropractic adjustment provides pain relief and removes some of the stress you may be feeling as a parent-to-be. 

Pregnancy adjustments and physiotherapy can also improve your pelvic floor. If you experience the very common pregnancy symptom of incontinence every time you sneeze and feel urgency to use the bathroom, the right chiropractor can help. Because the pelvic floor is often affected through all stages of pregnancy including birth, a follow-up is important after the birth, once you are able to come in and cleared by the obstetrician. 

Always check with your obstetrician before proceeding with pregnancy adjusting services. If you are at risk for early labor, have preeclampsia, or have vaginal bleeding without a determined cause, we recommend against pregnancy adjustments.
