Chiropractic Care & Pregnancy

During pregnancy, the spine and pelvis undergo many changes to compensate for the growing baby. These changes may decrease the diameter of the pelvis which may result in a less than optimum passage for the baby. These compensations may also cause an imbalance to the pelvic muscles and ligaments. When the spine and pelvis is balanced, the uterus is able to enlarge symmetrically with the growing baby. Ignite Chiropractic utilities techniques to help bring about more balance to the spine and pelvis, which may allow the baby get in to the perfect position for birth. Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to support the natural birthing process.
