Chiropractic care during pregnancy


Many women wonder if it is safe during pregnancy.  It is safe and can be beneficial.  During pregnancy a women’s body goes through a lot of changes.


  • The abdomen protrudes causing increased curves in the spine. 
  • Pelvic changes. 
  • Postural adaption.


All of these changes are in preparation for the baby.  To all these changes the women’s body produces hormones such as relaxin.  This relaxes the muscles, arteries, ligaments and joints in the body to help allow the baby to exit easier during the birth.  Unfortunately, when the body is changing the soon to be mother can experience back pain and nausea.  Chiropractic care can help with these symptoms.

Orthodontics like Chiropractic


If I had to pick one other form of care for the body that is similar to Chiropractic care I would choose Orthodontics. When you get braces the idea is that you want straighten  your teeth to make them healthier and work better for you.  

Chiropractic Care works in a similar way to straighten and strengthen your spine to make you healthier and allow your nervous system you work optimally, so that your body may function at its best.  If you have ever had braces you know that they tend to stay on for some time, even after your teeth appear to be straight! So what do you think would happen if you took your braces off too early? You teeth would start to shift back to where they originally were!  



Much like with Chiropractic Care if you stop coming or reduce care too soon your spine is going to start going back to the way it was before you started coming.  Stick with your care plan so you can be as healthy as possible.  Remember it is always less expensive to keep something working properly than to fix it in an emergency.
