Can you go to a chiropractor while pregnant? Yes!
In fact, a prenatal chiropractor is recommended during pregnancy. Learn more about prenatal chiropractic below, along with the many benefits of receiving your chiropractic care from Dr. Deborah Nikolin at Rise Well Chiropractic. Dr Nikolin is trained and certified in the Webster Technique for Pregnancy.
Prenatal Chiropractic: The Basics
The practice of prenatal chiropractic was designed to help restore normal function to the human body. By making gentle spinal adjustments, we can influence the nervous system, which affects every other system that keeps us going, including:
- Digestive
- Circulatory
- Hormonal
- Eliminatory
- Glandular
- Immunological
- Muscular
- Skeletal
- Respiratory
- Reproductive
Think of your nervous system as the body’s command and communication center. When it’s not operating optimally, your body’s systems don’t function the way they should either. Chiropractic spinal adjustments reduce interference to the nervous system, often caused by stress, whether physical or emotional.
Studies show that chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce the time you spend in labor by 31%!
You don’t need to be in pain to receive chiropractic care. In fact, you’ll feel and function better if you don’t wait until you have a problem to see a chiropractor. Regular chiropractic visits can help your general well-being and let you live your fullest life at your greatest potential!
Postpartum Care
Should your chiropractic care stop after giving birth? Absolutely not! Chiropractic care in the postpartum phase helps mom transition into motherhood while also supporting healing, nursing and all of the changes that happen postpartum.
How soon can you get adjusted after giving birth? Because adjustments are tailored to each persons needs, mamas can be adjusted shortly after labor. However, Dr. Deborah highly recommends at least 2 weeks of skin to skin, bonding, and resting after giving birth, so as soon as you feel comfortable leaving the house is a great time to get your first postpartum adjustment.
