As your body starts to transform during pregnancy, there are several physiological and hormonal changes that occur to prepare the mother for the developing baby. Most notably, the ligaments (attach bone to bone for support) start to weaken, a condition called ligamentous laxity. As a result, the spine becomes unstable and prone to pelvic and spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy helps to balance the pelvis and spine thus providing relief to lower back pain, spinal pain, sciatica, and headaches.

Dr. Chris Gilmore will take special precautions with you during your pregnancy. Modifications to the table or adjusting techniques are made during each stage of pregnancy. He specializes in the location, reduction and stabilization of pelvic and spinal misalignments which can be related to many of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with pregnancy and labor.

Constant structural changes, physical and emotional stresses provide the opportunity for beneficial chiropractic care during all stages of pregnancy. Ask Dr. Gilmore for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice or other conservative methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition and lifestyle. Pamper yourself and your baby with regular chiropractic checkups.
