Dr. David Meyer and Dr. Nathan Cummings are your caring providers at Groskopp Chiropractic. They take pride in helping many local patients relieve back and neck pain that may result from injury, aging, or other conditions, such as pregnancy. These trained experts practice pregnancy chiropractic care in Brillion, WI, for expecting mothers to help their changing bodies handle the weight of a new baby and have a more successful delivery.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy
As a baby grows, the mother’s belly will expand, putting more pressure on the back and pelvic area. The pelvic ligaments are also loosening in preparation for birth. As a result, pregnant women commonly complain of back pain. Getting chiropractic care at this time can help relieve pain and reduce the likelihood of neuropathy. After all, if the back becomes unstable or misaligned, it can compress a nearby nerve, causing numbness and tingling. But when the spine is healthy, nervous signals are able to travel through the body without impediment. As a result, pregnant women are more likely to have hormonal balance.
During delivery, many pregnant women have an easier time as chiropractic care over the previous months can support and align the pelvic area. These chiropractic sessions can also benefit the new baby. A properly aligned pelvis reduces the chance of injury to the child since the baby will have more space to move through. Pregnancy chiropractic care in Brillion, WI, can also reduce the likelihood of needing a C-section over natural birth.
Practices Used in Pregnancy Chiropractic Sessions
Your chiropractors understand how to use gentler techniques when working with expectant mothers. Dr. Meyer and Dr. Cummings will use low-force spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy like chiropractic massage, and gentle stretching techniques. They may also utilize pregnancy-specific adjustment tables or chairs to accommodate a pregnant woman's body. Then you won't have to worry about pressure being applied to the abdomen.
