Pregnancy and Chiropractic

Let’s me begin by sharing about a recent encounter I had with a lovely pregnant woman at a postural screening I was providing to the members of a local gym.

When she approached my table I was so excited for her because I thought to myself, “WOW!  this is going to be such a great opportunity for her, if she doesn’t already go to a chiropractor.” As we were talking, I was mentioning how I am doing postural assessments and I told her about what chiropractic is all about and she was so excited! But to my astonishment she was not excited for herself, she was excited for her husband. She goes, “Oo my god, my husband needs to come see you, he has so many issues you can help with!”  Obviously I was excited to hear she understood the importance of the care, but what shocked me the most is during that moment she didn’t even think about herself or the child growing inside her!  She had no clue that she could benefit from chiropractic care, in fact, she said “OO I thought you could not help me BECAUSE I was pregnant.” My jaw almost dropped! The first thought that came to my mind was if this wonderful woman is walking around thinking that, how many other woman are believing the same thing!  This motivated me to make a short educational video on this!

Let’s quickly discuss some of the more common things that Chiropractic care has been seen to improve. Chiropractic care has been known to help with conditions such as generalized pain, lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, carpal tunnel, sciatica, and posture to name a few. Now, lets think about pregnancy, I think we can all agree that during pregnancy a woman, at some point, has some lower back pain, headaches, neck pain, and their posture definitely changes (for the worse). Hmmmm!  So if Chiropractic has been known to help with these conditions, then wouldn’t you agree with me when I say EVERY PREGNANT WOMAN SHOULD BE UNDER CHIROPRACTIC CARE?!
