I Am Pregnant. Is It Safe For Me And My Baby To See A Chiropractor?

Yes! Chiropractic is  safe even to pregnant mothers and their baby.  Chiropractic is non-invasive.  Patients have reported having an easier time during the delivery with regular chiropractic adjustments.  In addition, pregnancy puts a big load on the low back and therefore, pregnant women are more susceptible to low back pain.  Chiropractic is very helpful (and safe!) for pregnant women with low back pain.  We do not use any electrical equipment on a pregnant woman, nor do we take x-rays on pregnant women.  Chiropractic adjustments are modified in order to accommodate women in pregnancy.

It is recommended that even after delivery, the mother should have regular chiropractic adjustment and check up to address the complications the delivery might have had on the low back and pelvic regions.

In addition to the increased pressure on the back , the ligaments become more lax, making the mother more susceptible to low back pain.
