Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: Is It Safe?
Pregnancy puts immense stress on the spine and pelvis. As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts forward, leading to the dreaded "swayback" (lordosis) and pelvic pain.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic:
Pelvic Balance: Ensuring the pelvis is aligned can give the baby more room to move into the optimal position for birth.
Pain Relief: Drug-free relief for lower back and sciatic pain, which is common in the third trimester.
Better Sleep: reducing joint discomfort helps you get the rest you need.
Is it safe? Yes. At Velca, we use specialized techniques and pillows that allow you to lie comfortably face down without pressure on the baby.
