Prenatal Chiropractic Care

At Southeast Chiropractic: The Motion Centers in Belmont, NC, we offer chiropractic care to expectant mothers. We provide both preventative prenatal care and treatment for pregnant women who are already suffering from back pain. Our treatment methods include chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

  • Pain relief: Chiropractic adjustments can help to relieve pain in the back, neck, hips, and other joints that is common during pregnancy.
  • Improved pelvic balance: A balanced pelvis can help to create more space for the baby to grow and develop, and can also make labor and delivery easier.
  • Reduced nausea: Some studies have shown that chiropractic care can help to reduce nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
  • Reduced risk of preterm delivery: One study found that women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy were less likely to have a preterm delivery.
  • Easier labor and delivery: Some studies have shown that women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy had shorter and easier labor and deliveries.
  • Faster postpartum recovery: Chiropractic care can help to speed up the postpartum recovery process by relieving pain and inflammation.

Preventative Prenatal Chiropractic Adjustment Treatments

We may recommend that women who have discovered that they are pregnant start getting adjustments. This is because your spine can move out of alignment in your pregnancy. Preventative prenatal chiropractic adjustments might potentially prevent your spine from moving out of alignment in the first place. This means that you might not have to suffer through the discomfort caused by a misaligned spine.

Chiropractic Adjustments for Prenatal Back Pain

Women who are already suffering from back pain related to pregnancy can still help get the treatment they need at our practice. Pregnancy-related back pain might be caused by spinal misalignment. This means that a chiropractic adjustment may help treat the root cause of the problem and may help relieve your pain. Depending on the severity of your back problem, a chiropractor on our team may recommend that you come in for multiple adjustments.

Chiropractic care is a natural and holistic way to help relieve back pain during pregnancy. We do not need to use drugs or other unfortunate methods of relieving pain. We will seek to get to the root of your pain instead of just addressing your symptoms.

Prenatal Chiropractic Massage

While chiropractic adjustments might be a good choice for pregnant women with spinal misalignment, some pregnancy-related back pain might be caused by soft tissue problems. Massage therapy can be your treatment method for soft tissue problems. It can help provide effective pain relief quickly. Massage therapy also increases blood flow to the affected area. This increased blood flow can help the injured soft tissue heal more quickly.
