Prenatal Care

Experience a Happier, Healthier Pregnancy with Prenatal Care

Because of the stress on the low back and pelvis during pregnancy, being under chiropractic care is an excellent and entirely safe way to minimize pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care also can reduce labor times, decrease the need for interventions such as vacuum extraction and forceps, and allow for a smoother delivery.

“According to a study, patients who received chiropractic care from at least the tenth week of pregnancy through labor and delivery experienced significantly reduced mean labor times compared to women who were not receiving chiropractic care. Out of the two groups of women who were studies during their first pregnancy, those receiving Chiropractic care averaged 24% shorter labor times than those not receiving chiropractic care. Of those women who were experiencing their second or third pregnancy, those under Chiropractic care averaged 39% shorter labor times compared to those who were not receiving chiropractic care. These findings suggest that Chiropractic methods would play an important expanded role in prenatal care. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy could result in shorter labor times, decreased use of pain medications, and increased quality health care for patients.”
