Chiropractor Lansing, MI

Improved Pelvic Alignment: Proper pelvic alignment is crucial during pregnancy to facilitate a smoother delivery process. Chiropractic care can help optimize pelvic alignment, potentially reducing the risk of complications during childbirth.

Enhanced Nervous System Function: Chiropractic adjustments support a healthy nervous system, aiding in better communication between the brain and the body. This promotes overall wellness and improves the body's adaptability to the physical changes of pregnancy.

Non-Invasive Approach: Lansing Chiropractic offers a non-pharmacological and non-invasive option for managing low back pain, which is particularly appealing for pregnant women who seek care that is safe for the health of the growing baby.

Low Back Pain Relief: Low back pain is a common complaint during pregnancy, affecting up to 76% of pregnant women. Lansing Chiropractic care can help alleviate low back pain by restoring proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure on the nerves that can cause pain. A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that pregnant women who received chiropractic care experienced a significant reduction in low back pain compared to those who did not receive chiropractic care.

Improved Labor and Delivery: Pregnant women who receive regular chiropractic care may have an easier time during labor and delivery. One study found that women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy had a 25% shorter labor time than those who did not receive chiropractic care. Additionally, women who received chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy were less likely to require medical interventions during delivery, such as a cesarean section or the use of forceps.

Reduced Risk of Breech Presentation: Breech presentation results when the baby is positioned feet-first in the womb, and occurs in about 3-4% of pregnancies. This can make vaginal delivery more difficult, and often requires a cesarean section. Chiropractic care can help reduce the risk of breech presentation by using a technique called the Webster Technique. This technique involves gentle adjustments to the pelvis and sacrum, which can help make room for the baby to shift into the proper position for delivery. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that the Webster Technique was effective in reducing the incidence of breech presentation.

Reduced Risk of Preterm Delivery: Preterm delivery, or giving birth before 37 weeks of gestation, is a major health concern for both mother and baby. Chiropractic care may help reduce the risk of preterm delivery by reducing stress on the nervous system and improving overall health. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that pregnant women who received chiropractic care had a 39% lower risk of preterm delivery compared to those who did not receive chiropractic care.
