Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy

There are few things I’ve seen that make as big of a difference in labor and birth as chiropractic care.  At one point, after a series of very long births, I considered only taking clients who were being seen by a chiropractor.  I didn’t make that change but I do strongly suggest to all my clients that they see one.  It makes that much of a difference.

Prenatal-specific chiropractic care during pregnancy helps address all the aches and pains that are considered normal.  That low back pain?  This will help.  Having trouble with your pubic bone?  This won’t solve it but it will help.  Previous tail bone injury?  This may make a big difference for you.  Adjustments also help promote balance in the pelvis to provide baby with the most room to move around possible. This in turn encourages baby to move around and more easily move to the best possible position for birth as the time approaches.

In addition, continuing care after your pregnancy can help your body regain its normal balance as you adjust to no longer being pregnant.  Your body make a big change in those 9 months of pregnancy and then a pretty quick one at birth.  It takes time to heal and recover.  Chiropractic care can aid in that recovery.

If you are looking for a chiropractor or would like to speak with one more about the services they offer, we have an abundance of wonderful chiropractors in our community that treat pregnant women.  Here are a few that I highly recommend in no particular order:

Shrout Family Chiropractic in Carmel with Dr. Melissa Shrout & Dr. Tracy Reichert. They have a float tank too!

Rangeline Chiropractic in Carmel with Dr. Hilary Hushower

Sacred Spines with Dr. Kristen Hartwell.  Her office is located inside Sacred Roots Birth Center on the west side.

Indy Kids Chiropractic in Castleton with Dr. Kristin Huber

Pala Chiropractic with Dr. Shawn Pala in Noblesville.

Himsel Chiropractic with Dr. Jared Himself in Noblesville.

Chiropractic during your pregnancy can make you more comfortable and shorten your labor.  Even if this is something you’ve been skeptical of in the past, I encourage you to try during your pregnancy.  Find someone you like.  It could make a big difference in your comfort level now and  birth later.
