Chiropractic and Therapy for Pregnant and post partum Mothers

Chiropractic During and After Pregnancy:

Chiropractic care is safe and effective during and after pregnancy.  Dr. Siwiec worked in the Maternal Fitness Center in NYC for four years and has effectively treated many pregnant and post partum women.  Chiropractic care has to be altered because of the delicate situation between physical therapies and pregnancy.  This is why you want to see a Chiropractor with as much experience possible in the field.
 
During pregnancy your body is altered by many different hormone levels, which affect different parts of the body.  The main concern in this area is a hormone called relaxin, which relaxes ligaments throughout the body mainly to increase the mobility of your hips.  The problem is that it affects the whole body and can cause any new or old injury to become worse.  It can exaggerate biomechanical and postural defects and may have a negative impact on your body when it normalizes.  This is why it is important to get checked by your chiropractor when you are pregnant.  Another benefit of Chiropractic during pregnancy is that it can relax the muscles in the back, side and abdomen, which surround the fetus.  If these muscles are spasmed then the baby will have less room to move around inside you.  This can actually affect the direction the baby is in when they are ready to be delivered.  Special exercises are also given to help with the pains of pregnancy, relaxing certain muscles and toning specific muscles, which will help to push out the baby easier and help your body bounce back to normality after giving birth.
