During your pregnancy your body will undergo many changes both physical and emotional, as you baby develops and your body prepares for giving birth. You will probably already be aware of many more obvious changes which can result in heart burn, indigestion, morning sickness, sciatica, backache and tiredness.
Many of the aches and pains associated with the changes your body undergoes during pregnancy can be helped by chiropractic. One of the most noticeable aspects which often cause back pain is the change in your posture as you adapt your stance to accommodate your growing baby. Realigning your spine and pelvis can help to take some of the strain of your joints, shoulders lower back and legs, the areas most often affected by your changing posture. Another change which occurs naturally in pregnancy is the softening of the ligaments. Whilst this process helps to prepare your pelvis for birth, it does mean that your joints can undergo additional stress
The gentle nature of McTimoney and Activator chiropractic makes it especially suitable for pregnant women. Treatment from the third month onwards in pregnancy can help you over come pain and discomfort and help your body prepare for the birth of your baby.
