Are you wondering how in the world chiropractic works to help you get pregnant? Chiropractic manipulations get rid of nerve impingement in your body. Your nervous system instructs and regulates every cell, fiber, tissue, organ, and system in your body, including your reproductive.  If your reproductive system isn’t operating properly due to nerve impedance, it can generate a myriad of symptoms. When your reproductive system is overactive, you might experience agitation, pain, heavy bleeding, or severe cramping.  And, when it is under-active, you might have missed periods or become infertile.  Chiropractic works because spinal manipulations restore harmony and balance to your entire nervous system, which as  mentioned, includes your reproductive

A larger number of women find an improvement in their reproductive health, combined with improved general health, while under chiropractic care. So, if tried “everything” and still can’t get pregnant, chiropractic. It often works to help women get pregnant!

This process, although designed to help the mother during labor, can produce much discomfort in the months leading up to the birth. As the pregnancy advances, more elastin is released, which allows the pelvis to become increasingly more unstable. Add to that the gradual increase in the size of the baby and uterus, and you have the ingredients for severe low back pain. As an chiropractor, I currently have several pregnant patients coming into my office for symptoms associated with their pregnancy, but usually it is for their low back pain.

A bonus to seeing a chiropractor routinely during your pregnancy is that there is proof that it can actually decrease labor time. Why is that you ask? Simply put, if the pelvis is where it needs to be, the muscles contracting during the labor process are more efficient and won’t have to strain against misaligned joints.

In answer to the second question above, by all means chiropractic care during your pregnancy is safe. Not only can chiropractic help you with your low back pain and other associated symptoms, such as heartburn, nausea, swelling, etc., but it is safe to both you and your baby. In addition, should the need arise, a trained chiropractor can assist a mother who has a breached baby. This is done by using the Webster Technique, a low force manipulation of the uterus that helps to get the baby into the appropriate position for birth. Additional information on the Webster Technique can easily be found online.

In summation, not only is chiropractic safe for pregnant women, it is also very beneficial in helping with the symptoms associated with their pregnancy. To any pregnant women out there reading this, please go to see your local chiropractor, or if you live or work in the area, look up your chiropractor. We can make you feel a lot more comfortable during your pregnancy, and we can even make the labor process easier.
