Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time, but it can also bring unique challenges, such as back pain, pelvic discomfort, and postural changes. As your body changes to support your growing baby, extra strain is placed on your spine, joints, and muscles. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is a safe and effective way to support your body through these changes, promoting comfort, optimal alignment, and a healthier pregnancy experience.

Common Causes of Discomfort During Pregnancy

Postural Changes: The growing belly shifts your center of gravity, placing additional strain on the lower back and pelvis.
Hormonal Changes: Increased levels of the hormone relaxin cause ligaments to loosen, which can lead to joint instability.
Pelvic Misalignment: Shifts in pelvic alignment may lead to discomfort and, in some cases, restrict the baby's positioning.
Weight Gain: Additional weight places stress on the spine, hips, and knees, leading to discomfort and pain.
Nerve Compression: Changes in posture and alignment can compress nerves, causing sciatica or numbness.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Nexus Health Center in Millard, NE, we provide gentle, specialized chiropractic care for expecting mothers to support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy. Our doctor is also Webster Certified. Here’s how we can help:

Spinal and Pelvic Alignment: Using safe techniques like the Torque Release Technique, we help maintain proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, reducing discomfort and optimizing nerve function.
Reduced Back and Pelvic Pain: Chiropractic adjustments alleviate pressure on the lower back and hips, easing pain caused by postural changes.
Improved Nerve Function: Adjustments reduce nerve interference, which may help alleviate conditions like sciatica and improve overall well-being.
Optimal Baby Positioning: Proper pelvic alignment creates more space in the womb, which may help the baby move into the optimal position for delivery.
Easier Labor and Delivery: Chiropractic care has been shown to support shorter labor times and reduce the need for interventions by promoting better pelvic balance and nervous system function.
