Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy? Absolutely!

Many people don’t realize that Chiropractic care during pregnancy is completely safe, and highly recommended. In our office, we have a special table that drops away at the abdomen, creating room for a pregnant belly. This makes it safe and comfortable to lay on your stomach for treatment.  Many women experience back pain during pregnancy due to the “rapid growth of the baby and an interference to your body’s normal structural adaptations to that growth.” Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can help alleviate or take away some of these discomforts. Receiving Chiropractic care during pregnancy can also help create a safe environment for your unborn child.  “As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted. causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus.” You can read more about pregnancy and Chiropractic care from icpa4kids.org.

Exercise and Chiropractic Care in Seniors

Studies are being conducted to see how exercise and chiropractic care can improve “overall health and spinal function in seniors.” An article in The Chiropractic Journal states, “According to the National Institutes of Health, moderate exercise and physical activity can improve the health of seniors who are frail, or who have diseases associated with aging. However, exercise alone won’t necessarily address the spinal problems seniors commonly experience. This is a concern as spinal problems can cause pain and subsequent decline in physical function in older adults.” The study will test “the combination of chiropractic management and exercise therapy. Participants must be 65 years of age and older with chronic spine problems.”
