Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Lake Charles, LA

Back Pain Relief

Back pain is probably the most common complaint among our pregnant patients. Relaxation of ligaments and joints causes prenatal back pain as the body prepares for delivery. Planned adjustments throughout pregnancy can help relieve pain triggered by spinal instability or loosened joints and ligaments.​​​

Nausea

Women that suffer with extreme “morning sickness” during pregnancy have significantly benefited from chiropractic care. Diet changes and medications can help reduce nausea, but an increasing number of expectant mothers find a more holistic whole-body approach more effective. Improving the nervous system through spinal realignment can help restore hormonal balance and improve digestive issues - resolving constipation and nausea issues.

Improved Pelvic Balance

There is evidence that prenatal chiropractic care assists with maintaining pelvic balance. Pelvic balance allows the baby to move less constricted into a pre-birth position, increasing the odds of a natural delivery. Additionally, many expectant mothers find that regular adjustments throughout their pregnancy increase the proper alignment of their hips, pelvis and spine, making the birthing process easier.

​Injury Prevention & Continued Wellness After Pregnancy

Routine adjustments can help expectant mothers with inflammation, flexibility, posture, and sleep quality, all of which lead to stress injuries. Chiropractic care can help you move in harmony with your rapidly changing body! Women that include chiropractic adjustments throughout pregnancy enjoy the benefits after delivery. Proper alignment helps new mothers recover from labor faster and avoid post-delivery injuries associated with their new duties of lifting and holding their baby for long periods and lifting strollers and car seats.
