Chiropractic for Pregnancy in Vienna
The prospect of welcoming a new member to your family can make you happy, excited, anxious -- and concerned about your pregnancy. Even the healthiest expectant moms are likely to experience discomfort over nine months of musculoskeletal changes, while the ease and safety of your baby's delivery can also be impacted by musculoskeletal alignment issues. That's why you should know that you can benefit from the safe, natural prenatal care techniques we provide here at Pure Chiropractic in Vienna.
Back Pain, Headaches, and Other Prenatal Concerns in Vienna
Making room for a developing fetus obviously means making some changes to your body. The enlargement of the abdomen causes the spine to shift its alignment as you adopt a "swaybacked" posture. The resulting shift in weight distribution -- aggravated by the extra weight gained during pregnancy -- can wreak havoc on your joints, muscles, and nerves. In addition to the aches and pains caused by joint stress and inflammation, the impingement of major nerves can cause direct or referred pain and other neurological symptoms throughout the body, while also reducing your body's ability to conduct its normal processes. It's no wonder so many pregnant women experience back pain, neck pain, headaches, edema (swelling), and numb, tingling, or aching extremities.
But these changes don't just affect your comfort; they may also affect your baby's odds for a normal delivery. If alignment problems in your lower spinal and pelvic regions prevent the fetus from rotating in the womb into a head-down position, you may be facing complications (such as breech birth) that might call for surgical intervention for the sake of both you and your baby.
