Not only can chiropractic provide a variety of health benefits to Mom and Baby during pregnancy, chiropractic also can make labor and delivery go much smoother.
Chiropractic can help the pelvis move well because there’s so much expansion that happens during the actual delivery. The joints need to be moving well. A chiropractic adjustment allows for that proper motion and allows the entire birthing process to go that much better.
Reducing Labor Time and Interventions
Because a baby in the proper birthing position can decrease the length of labor, the following common interventions may be avoided: forceps, vacuum extraction, induction drugs and C-sections.
