Induced labours, epidurals, Forceps/vacuum extractions and C-sections have become more and more common with the birthing process since the 70’s.
Due to the inherent risks these procedures carry, more and more women are now turning to natural, active births and incorporating Chiropractic into their pre-natal care.
Caring for pregnant mothers assists in not only supporting her health but also the development of the baby.
As the baby begins to grow the centre of gravity of the pregnant mother will begin to shift forward. This places increased stress on the pelvis, discs, and facet joints of the lumbar spine. Hormone changes also cause ligament laxity and can result in instability throughout the joints of the body.
