What is Prenatal Chiropractic Care?

The goal is to improve spinal alignment, reduce discomfort, and support overall health during pregnancy. Chiropractors who specialize in prenatal care use gentle and specific techniques designed to be safe for both the mother and the baby.
Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe?

Chiropractors use techniques that are modified to accommodate the physical changes that occur during pregnancy. They often use a special chiropractic table designed to provide comfort and support to pregnant women.

Prenatal chiropractic care can offer several benefits, including:
- Relief from Back Pain: Many pregnant women experience back pain due to the additional weight and changes in posture. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate this discomfort.
