Your health is a top priority during pregnancy. Many of our patients do not know that you can utilize prenatal chiropractic care to maximize your health during this time. At Advanced Care Chiropractic, serving Gresham and the surrounding areas, we can assist you with your healthcare needs during this special time.

How Does Prenatal Care Help?

During your pregnancy, your body will change rapidly as will your health needs. It can sometimes be difficult to keep up with these changes. A chiropractor can help you keep your body in its best shape during this challenging time.

As the baby grows, it can start to press on your internal organs and shift your spine out of proper alignment. When the spine is not properly aligned, it will cause pain in the back and neck. The nervous system can also not function properly when the spine is out of alignment. This will start to cause health problems throughout the body.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors can help by performing spinal adjustments throughout your pregnancy. This gentle treatment will move the spine back into its proper alignment. Beyond spinal adjustments, our chiropractic clinic also provides additional services. Most pregnant women find that massage therapy is very beneficial during this period.

The muscles become tense and sore from carrying your newly shaped body. During the later months of pregnancy, the large abdomen often pulls a women's center of gravity off as well. As a result, the back muscles will work harder to overcompensate, which can lead to pain. Massage therapy is a natural and effective treatment to provide relief for this pain.
