As a chiropractor for pregnant moms in Oxnard, CA I’ve seen the skepticism many moms have about continuing chiropractic care during pregnancy and I’ve seen how patients who continue chiropractic care have enviable pregnancies. Pain and discomfort are inevitable when one essentially has a parasite growing bigger by the day, taking up space, and demanding nutrients. But pain and discomfort don’t have to define each trimester.
One of the most common issues our patients at the Kalani Total Health Center have during pregnancy is back pain. There’s the unfathomable weight gain, a dramatic shift in the body’s center of gravity, and a bunch of bizarre hormones that relax joints and ligaments. Here are 7 Tips for Any Pregnant Mom Trying to Survive Back Pain:
Practice Good Posture
Get the Right Gear
Lift Properly
Become a Side Sleeper
Experiment With Temperature
Get Moving
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is such a valuable aspect of any wellness routine, but especially for pregnant moms. Providing for the most comfortable pregnancy makes for a healthier birth and a healthier baby. The best time to start focusing on a child’s health is before they’re even born. Let pregnancy be a magical time and not something to look back on in horror. Pregnancy shouldn't be a time to survive, it should be a time to thrive!
