• Chiropractic can help the body adapt better to rapid changes happening. 

 

Reposition the fetus and shorten the labor

• Pain can sometimes keep you awake and sometimes it's just the uncomfortable state of being pregnant. Chiropractic treatment can reduce the uncomfortableness of pregnancy.
• Pregnant women who sleep less than 6 hours a night, average 29 hours in labor, and women who sleep 7 or more hours a night average 18 hours in labor. 

 

Reduce recovery time and postpartum pain:

• Chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce recovery time and postpartum pain. If pain persists after birth, visit your chiropractor when your obstetrician clears you to do so.
