If you’re pregnant, congratulations! During this exciting time of life, you may experience various aches and pains and want to forgo taking medication due to potential side effects. But, you may also be wondering if chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy.
At The IN8 Life, we have a special interest in prenatal and antenatal care and take great measures to ensure the safety of all our patients, especially pregnant ones. While it’s generally safe to get chiropractic care during pregnancy, patients should first consult with their healthcare provider and have a consultation with our team before proceeding.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, including hormonal fluctuations, postural shifts, and increased pressure on the spine and joints.
Chiropractic adjustments may help alleviate some discomfort associated with these changes.
If you’ve had chiropractic before, you may notice that we might modify your techniques to ensure your safety and the safety of your developing baby. We also have specialised tables and cushions to accommodate a mum’s pregnant belly and avoid undue pressure on the abdomen.
