Your body changes during pregnancy…
All bodily functions are controlled by the brain that send information throughout the body via the nervous system. If you are experiencing various symptoms that are making your pregnancy difficult and impacting your overall health, Chiropractic can help.
Pregnancy is an incredibly important time for a mom-to-be and a child’s future. Many physiological and hormonal changes occur during pregnancy to ensure a optimal environment is created for a developing baby. Many women develop subluxations during these immense changes in the body and may result in symptoms you are currently experiencing.
A subluxation in the spine occurs as the brain and body experience nerve interference.
Since all the nerves are connected via the spine to your brain, it is imperative your nervous system is free of interference and subluxations to ensure optimal health and functioning.
“Chiropractic is a safe, gentle, natural, holistic and drug-free option for pregnant women to achieve health and wellness.”
We encourage women to receive Chiropractic care before becoming pregnant and throughout their pregnancy, to get checked for subluxations and to ensure a healthy functioning nervous system.
