Chiropractic Care and Pregnancy

When a woman becomes pregnant, there are countless changes that are happening to her body! Not only physically, but hormonally, biomechanically and with her posture too. The body changes in order to prepare to nourish and carry a child to its full term. A woman’s center of gravity shifts forward the larger the baby gets inside the belly. This causes the pelvis to tilt and the muscles in the lower back to become shorter and much more tightened in return. This can cause an unbelievable amount of pain. The hamstrings and gluteal muscles also become stretched and weakened causing the body to be very uncomfortable. The abdomen, lower back, pelvis, and cervical and lumbar regions are the main source of pain as the baby grows in the woman’s body.
