What Exactly is Chiropractic?

            Many of you who have been following this blog or have been to a Chiropractor already know the general benefits of Chiropractic and how it is essential to living a better, healthier, more sustainable life. But for those of you who are still new to care or have never taken that first leap into receiving care I will quickly explain what Chiropractic is. Basically, Chiropractic is a non-invasive, safe, holistic approach to help with musculoskeletal conditions. What that means is that if there is a soft tissue or misalignment of the bones causing interference for the nerve, then a Doctor of Chiropractic is the expert to help with these problems. It helps maintain the spine, discs in the spine, and the nerves coming from the spinal cord that reach out to your entire body and regulate everything that keeps you alive. The best part about this is that it does not involve taking drugs or having surgery performed, and in many cases, it can help patients before they have to go and do those things.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: is it safe?

            There are currently no known contraindications to receiving Chiropractic care during pregnancy. What that means is there is no known adverse or bad side affects to Chiropractic care while pregnant. Every single Chiropractor has the tools and the education in treating women who are pregnant. There are some that specialize in Chiropractic care for pregnancy and have certifications in certain techniques such as Webster Technique. The Doctors at inTune Chiropractic Clinic have had a lot of hands on experience with pregnant moms and working with fertility and pregnancy wellness. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at the office (615) 553-2268 and we can schedule a time to sit down and talk about how we can help.

What are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

            As you all may know, the body goes through some aggressive changes during pregnancy including your endocrine system and the hormones your body is now releasing. These changes can cause misalignment of the spine due to increased low back curve and especially misalignment of the pelvis. An article by the American Pregnancy Association states when the pelvis is misaligned this causes a decrease of space for the baby known as intrauterine constraint. What Chiropractors can do is adjust the pelvis and sacrum allowing there to be the sufficient amount of space for the baby, this misalignment can also cause difficulty during the birthing process.

            The American Pregnancy Association has an incredible article on breeched babies and how regular Chiropractic care throughout the entirety of the pregnancy can aid in reducing the possibility of needing a C-section which can cause a host of different issues down the road for mother and baby. The article by the American Pregnancy Association will be linked below, you definitely need to check it out for more information.

            An article in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine states 50% of pregnant women experience back pain during their pregnancy and 50-75% of women have back pain during labor and delivery. The article also shows from a different study that 75% of pregnant moms who receive Chiropractic care have a reduction in low back pain. So my question to you is, why endure with all of this pain when there is a non-invasive, healthy, and holistic approach that can reduce this pain? And the best part about it is how affordable it is!
