El Cajon Chiropractor - Is Chiropractic safe during pregnancy?

You may be wondering if Chiropractic is a good idea during pregnancy.  The answer is no, it's not a good idea, it's a GREAT idea!  Here's why:

• The average weight gain during pregnancy is 25-35 pounds, shifting your center of gravity forward.  This causes an increase in the natural curve of the low back and can lead to low back pain which is very common in the later months.  Chiropractic can help normalize that curve and provide low back pain relief
• Headaches, low back pain, & nausea are common during pregnancy but pain killers and many prescriptions are not able to be taken.  Chiropractic provides a great alternative.
• A misaligned pelvis can cause there to be less room for a developing baby to grow.
• The doctors at Fletcher Hills Chiropractic are trained to care for the expectant mother, infants and children, and those having trouble conceiving.
• Fletcher Hills Chiropractic has special adjusting tables which have a drop away piece to accommodate the pregnant belly all the way up to 9 months.
• We are trained in low force techniques which are more comfortable and less rigorous during pregnancy.
• Chiropractic can not only help you the physical changes of pregnancy but Chiropractic adjustments help to ensure proper nerve supply to hormone producing glands which aids in balancing your hormone levels.
• Other benefits include: maintaining a healthier pregnancy, controlling symptoms of nausea, reducing the time of labor and delivery, relieving back, neck or joint pain, and preventing a potential cesarean delivery

The bottom line is Chiropractic is 100% safe and provides much needed relief during your special time
