How Chiropractic Can Help With Your Pregnancy and Birth

Make chiropractic care at Century Center Chiropractic part of your prenatal routine for a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Our chiropractor, Dr. Simon, can help reduce your lower back pain so that you can focus on getting ready for your new baby.

Reduced Lower Back Pain

As the abdomen grows along with your baby, it can increase the curvature of your lower back and unbalance the pelvis. This contributes to lower back pain. Periodic chiropractic adjustments during your pregnancy can help balance your pelvis and reduce the spinal curvature in your lower back, which results in less lower back and leg pain.

Lower Chances of a Breech Birth with our Atlanta Chiropractor

Prenatal chiropractic adjustments with our Atlanta chiropractor are beneficial even into the eighth month of pregnancy. In fact, receiving late pregnancy adjustments can give your baby more room to grow and encourage a head down position, which reduces your chances of a breech birth and the need for a C-section.

Faster Recovery

During pregnancy and delivery, the ligaments and tendons become loose. These changes are perfectly normal. It is your body's way of preparing for the delivery. After the birth of your baby, those ligaments tighten within eight weeks, and the joints normally return to their normal positions. However, if the joints do not return to their proper positions, it can result in headaches and chronic lower back discomfort.  Chiropractic adjustments can help align your joints so that the ligaments tighten correctly. This reduces the chances of post-pregnancy headaches and back pain.

Safe and Effective Prenatal Care from our Chiropractor

Our chiropractor, Dr. Simon, performs chiropractic adjustments on women who are trying to conceive, pregnant women and women who are recovering from childbirth.
