Pregnancy Pain Care Jacksonville 

Pregnancy can be an exciting time, filled with happiness and anticipation, but for nearly three-quarters of pregnant women, it can also be a time of chronic back pain and discomfort as their body struggles to support the additional weight. After all, your body goes through many changes as it realigns to accommodate the baby as the fetus grows. During pregnancy, the reproductive hormone relaxin is produced by the ovaries and placenta to help your body prepare for labor. This also helps to promote the development of the mammary glands, so your body is prepared to feed the newborn. But, relaxin also plays a major role in remodeling musculoskeletal tissues, including bones, muscles and tendons, and sometimes the ligaments get so loose that they become structurally unstable and it creates unique body pains. As the curve in your lower back becomes accentuated, the abdominal muscles weaken with you having to carry an additional 25 pounds. So, our Jacksonville pregnancy pain care is helpful for women who are experiencing discomfort during any cycle of pregnancy. Both obstetricians and midwives have recommended chiropractic massage rehab for their expectant mothers.

Many women find their regular daily routines disrupted due to pain which can be difficult to relieve without professional care. Think about it. Your spine has had a lifetime to get used to supporting your body in very specific and predictable ways, then suddenly everything changes. That’s why pregnancy pain care can just help you feel better throughout your pregnancy, but especially during the final trimester. So you don’t need to have a specific or singular complaint, as routine adjustments during this period can be a great benefit for your prenatal routine. Dr. Winkler and his staff will work on spinal alignment to help relieve pain sensations in your muscles, joints and ligaments, while creating a more stable and better functioning pelvic region. Although many expectant mothers don’t realize it, pregnancy pain care improves the overall functioning of their nervous system, which is associated with triggering pregnancy related nausea. In addition, if the baby is presenting in a breech position, chiropractic massage rehab in the pelvic region can decrease any intrauterine constraints to allow for a more optimal position for delivery by helping move the head down while giving the baby more space.

Do Chiropractic Adjustments Help During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care can be a safe and effective way to treat pregnancy pain at Beach Boulevard Chiropractic Massage Rehab. Our Jacksonville chiropractor can help relieve the pain in your back, hips, and joints. Plus, with our chiropractic massage rehab, you get a noninvasive, drug-free option for pregnancy pain care that can enhance your overall prenatal health. A case-controlled study found that manipulative treatments could provide more space for the baby and lead to a reduced risk of certain unwanted pregnancy outcomes. When performed by a trained and experienced chiropractor, this provides a safe approach to identifying the root cause of pain, addressing joint misalignments from the neck to a triangular bone (coccyx) at the base of the spine. Plus, the Webster technique is a useful chiropractic option for adjusting the alignment of pelvic bones, stabilizing the sacrum and SI joint, massaging the surrounding soft tissues, and removing tension within the uterus. This process is effective in providing relief for common sciatic pains, correcting fetal positioning and reducing stiffness in the sacrum. However, chiropractic treatment isn’t recommended with placental issues.

When a pregnant woman reports their back pain to an obstetrician, they are often told that it is just a normal part of pregnancy; and it is. But with proper care including massage and regular chiropractic adjustments, your pregnancy-related discomfort can be effectively managed. At our chiropractic massage rehab clinic, our staff is trained and experienced in providing state-of-the-art health care to women who are experiencing pregnancy-related pain. Unless you are experiencing vaginal bleeding for unknown reason, have preeclampsia, or have been diagnosed at risk of premature labor, chiropractic rehab is considered safe for most pregnancies. According to the American Pregnancy Association, chiropractic therapy involves the art and science of adjusting misaligned joints of the body, especially the spine, which in turn reduces spinal nerve stress and promotes health throughout the woman’s body. Plus, there are no known contraindications to chiropractic massage rehab throughout and following pregnancy.

Prenatal and Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care can play an essential role in supporting women throughout pregnancy by promoting overall wellness and addressing specific needs. Many chiropractors specialize in prenatal and postnatal care, undergoing additional training to provide safe, effective exercises and stretches tailored to expectant mothers. Pregnancy brings significant changes to the body, including a protruding abdomen, increased spinal curvature, and postural shifts, all of which can benefit from chiropractic adjustments. By maintaining proper pelvic alignment and balance, chiropractic care helps create an optimal environment for the baby’s development and encourages ideal positioning for birth, potentially reducing complications like breech or posterior presentations. Furthermore, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association advocates for regular chiropractic treatment during pregnancy to improve pelvic balance, support the nervous system’s essential functions, and contribute to smoother, safer labor and delivery for both mom and baby. Most importantly, seek options that support your body’s natural abilities to function by finding your team of pregnancy pain care providers.

If you’re pregnant and are experiencing lower back pain, leg pain or general body aches and pains, Dr. Brian Winkler and his entire staff are experienced in providing the safe and effective care that your condition requires. In fact, we have been recognized as a leading wellness provider for women in Jacksonville for decades. Maintaining a healthier pregnancy can help to control symptoms of nausea as well as reduce the time labor. So, don’t think you have to live with prenatal or postnatal pain during your pregnancy, as proper chiropractic massage rehab is essential for your health and well-being.
