How do chiropractic adjustments benefit women during pregnancy?

Dr. DeMasi's spinal adjustments bring your spinal discs back into their proper alignment. If you've had pregnancy changes that have affected the position of your spinal discs, these adjustments can put them back into place. When your spinal discs are misaligned, it creates too much pressure on your nerves, which can cause discomfort and stiffness. Correcting your spine's alignment also helps ease tension in your muscles, which can reduce your overall stress levels.

 

How do chiropractic treatments affect the baby?

Spinal adjustments aren't harmful to developing babies and can provide a few benefits. Dr. DeMasi's chiropractic adjustments ensure that your pelvis is correctly aligned, which can provide your baby with more space in the womb, and plenty of room to get into position for delivery. This can help make your delivery.
