Chiropractic & Pregnancy - Labor Less & Produce More

Being pregnant is an amazing and daunting time all rolled into one. You are experiencing the wonder of growing a new life inside of you and often your body begins to let you know about it. 

As your belly grows and the weight begins to get heavier and shift positions, it is not uncommon (but not healthy) to begin to experience pains. Low back pain and Sciatic pain are quite common among pregnancy women. It has been observed that between 57% to 69% of women suffer from low back pain during pregnancy. 

Studies show that women under regular Chiropractic care during their pregnancy have a reduction in labor time of up to 5 hours. That is a 39% reduction in labor time! Further studies also show a reduction in symptoms such as lower back pain, pelvic pain and sciatic pain by up to 91%.

By ensuring that your pelvis is in correct alignment, less stress and pressure is placed on your spine and also it results in a shorter labor time!

It makes perfect sense to have a check up by a Chiropractor such as our team of doctors at Body Brilliant Chiropractic, so you too can experience the benefits of a healthier pregnancy, shorter labor time and more restful nights.
