Chiropractic care can help the spine and pelvis cope with the effects of  pregnancy by restoring a state of balance.

During pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity shifts forward to the front of her pelvis. This additional weight in front, causes stress to the joints of the pelvis and low back. As the baby grows in size, the added weight causes the curvature of her lower back to increase, placing extra stress on the fragile facet joints on the back side of the spine. Any pre-existing problems in a woman's spine tend to be exacerbated as the spine and pelvis become overtaxed, often leading to pain and difficulty performing normal daily activities.

Studies have found that about half of all expectant mothers develop low-back pain at some point during their pregnancies. This is especially true during the third trimester when the baby's body gains the most weight. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the pain and discomfort frequently experienced in pregnancy, and creates an environment for an easier, safer delivery. It is one safe and effective way to help the spine and pelvis cope with the rapid increase in physical stress by restoring a state of balance. In fact, most women have found that chiropractic care helped them avoid the use of pain medications during their pregnancy, and studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help to reduce time in labor. Your chiropractor should be your partner for a healthy pregnancy. They can provide adjustments, as well as offer nutritional, ergonomic and exercise advice to help address your special needs.

In addition, the doctors here are certified in the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment which reduces nervous system stress and improves pelvic muscle and ligament function.  This, in turn, reduces torsion to the uterus and potential intra-uterine constraint allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.  

Be sure to get adjusted regularly. Chiropractic care is important to help maintain a healthy skeletal structure and nervous system function throughout a pregnancy and childbirth.  The chiropractors here at West Coast Chiropractic Carlsbad, have been lucky enough to have helped numerous women from all around Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista experience happy, healthy pregnancies and deliveries.  Feel free to contact our chiropractic clinic so that we may answer any question and be sure to ask us about our Pregnancy/Prenatal Wellness Program.
