A Woman adapts greatly during the prenatal period; the new mother-to-be faces profound changes during these approximately 270 days. Physically and emotionally, she must prepare for the responsibility of sustaining, nurturing and delivering a new life. Every aspect of her life is changing; nearly every function of her body, even the structure of it will alter to accommodate the growing embryo.
The body of the healthy mother-to-be accommodates the growing infant naturally. Her body processes increase, decrease or stop automatically as required until her baby is born.
For example, her appetite increases to supply proper nutrition to both mother and child; the demands of pregnancy on her kidneys are met by a built-in reserve; her pelvis stretches to allow greater capacity; her lower back muscles and ligaments adapt to the strain caused by her additional body weight.
When Nature Needs Help
The nervous system is the key to good health. Vital energy is transmitted
by a network of nerves from the brain, through the spinal column, to all
parts of the body weight.
Restriction of this flow allows nerve pressure to build. Such interference might cause the expectant mother to lose her appetite, experience kidney difficulties, severe lower back pain, pain in her hips and legs or pelvic discomfort.
Include Chiropractic in Prenatal Health Program
Consult your chiropractor early; it is a good idea to see him when pregnancy
is indicated. Spinal adjustments help the body adapt to these increasing
demands. Your chiropractor’s advice and attention will help make
this phase of your life as healthy and fulfilling as nature intended.
Chiropractic & Prenatal Care
The Chiropractor is a specialist, trained to detect interference of nerve
impulse transmission. He corrects such interference with spinal adjustments,
which restore good health.
Chiropractic can solve many prenatal health problems. Loss of appetite, lower back pain (often complicated by hip and leg pain), and anxiety-even morning sickness is often avoided by regular prenatal chiropractic care.
Best of all, regular chiropractic care may reduce the severity of labor pains, increase the possibility of an uncomplicated delivery and ensure faster postnatal recovery.
