Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Pre-natal chiropractic care is an important part of working toward a positive birth experience for both you and your baby. Your baby is relying on you for physical, nutritional and emotional support throughout your pregnancy. Your health during pregnancy is vital for the development of your baby.

Be at your best during this special time in your life. 

A high percentage of women experience spinal discomfort during pregnancy. Pre-existing spinal problems can be exacerbated by the postural changes that take place during pregnancy, especially as the load on the spine increases as the baby grows.

Difficult Labour

Dystocia (difficult labour) is something all mothers-to-be want to avoid. Apart from physical and mental exhaustion, dystocia commonly leads to multiple medical interventions, which otherwise may be avoided. There are several possible causes of dystocia. One highly likely contributing factor is pelvic joint subluxation (misalignment). Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy restores balance and increases strength to your pelvic girdle. This leads to an easier and safer birth.

At Vida, we will work with you throughout your pregnancy towards optimal health for you and your baby. And, once your baby is born, we encourage you to have your little one examined for any physical trauma associated with the birth.
