Why Do So Many Expectant Moms get Chiropractic Care?

More than seventy‑five percent of pregnant women experience low‑back or pelvic pain during pregnancy. Gentle pregnancy‑specific chiropractic adjustments keep the spine and pelvis aligned and moving well, offering a drug‑free way to stay active, sleep better, and simply enjoy this special time in more comfort.

How Do Gentle Adjustments Ease Common Pregnancy Aches for Expecting Mothers in Iowa?

Studies show most pregnant patients feel noticeable relief within days of an adjustment. At Frideres Chiropractic we commonly help with:

Low‑back pain caused by a shifting center of gravity
Hip and pubic‑symphyseal discomfort from loosened ligaments
Sciatica, the shooting leg pain caused by a pinched nerve
Neck tension and headaches triggered by forward‑head posture

Because relief comes without medication, you and your baby avoid unnecessary drugs.

Prenatal chiropractic adjustments can help you have a happy and more comfortable pregnancy.

Beyond Pain Relief – Whole‑Body Wellness for Mom

Balanced spinal and pelvic mechanics support healthy nervous‑system function. Expecting moms under chiropractic care often report more restful sleep, higher energy, fewer headaches, and even milder morning sickness. Less discomfort means lower stress hormones, which is good news for your baby’s development.

Can Prenatal Chiropractic Care Make Labor Easier?

Yes, it can make labor easier on you and your baby. Research links regular care to shorter first‑time labors and smoother progress because the pelvis moves correctly. Using the Webster Technique, chiropractors frequently help breech babies turn head‑down naturally, often preventing the need for a cesarean section (c-section).

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Babies

More room to grow as an aligned pelvis reduces uterine constraint
Optimal birth position that lowers the chances of difficult back labor or assisted deliveries
A gentler birth experience with less stress for your newborn baby
Post‑delivery check‑ups that can support breastfeeding and ease colic

Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe for Mothers and Babies?

The American Pregnancy Association states there are no contraindications in a normal pregnancy when care is provided by a trained prenatal chiropractor. We use adjustable pregnancy pillows and light, specific techniques – no forceful twisting – so you can relax while we realign you.
