Here are some FAQs about pregnancy:
Absolutely!! Pregnant women should be adjusted, they are constantly experiencing changes in their bodies that they were not dealing with even days earlier. Chiropractic care will evaluate and give the best possible treatment plan for a woman who is going through hip shifts, changes in posture, and altered balance--not to mention all the pressure in both her abdomen and lower back. I have taken extensive post graduate coursework in order to give the best care possible to all pregnant patients.
Yes! The birthing process is traumatic for both the mother and the child. She needs to get her hips back into position over the next days/months--the sooner she gets adjusted the better for her recovery. As for the child, if there are any abnormalities found, the faster they are identified sooner and the better for the child to be evaluated and treated.
