Pregnancy is an extremely exciting time. Bringing a new baby into the world is a powerful experience that many women look forward to for their whole lives. With all of the magic and excitement of new baby, pregnancy can be also physically difficult and take a toll on a mom’s body. Chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy can help relieve back pain, headaches, stiffness and even morning sickness that often accompany pregnancy. The team at Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness are trained to treat women before and during pregnancy and can help adjust the common misalignments that often occur.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Chiropractic adjustments are completely safe during pregnancy and Nokomis can help with the following common issues that face pregnant women:

• Reduce symptoms of back pain, morning sickness and sciatica;
• Treatment of common misalignments that occur during pregnancy (pelvic changes, protruding abdomen and an increased back curve);
• Improve overall health and wellness during pregnancy.

Chiropractic care actually offers several very important benefits to pregnant women with no drug related side effects. It can increase the likelihood that you will carry your baby full term, and can even reduce your time in labor and decrease your risk of having a C section. Chiropractic adjustments can give your baby more space to develop. Our team can perform the necessary adjustments safely and provide you with instructions on exercises that you can safely do on your own.

Massage Therapy and Nutritional Assessments for Pregnant Women

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness& Massage located upstairs offers massage therapy that can also improve overall comfort for women during pregnancy. Massage can help relieve stress and tension that can build up in your body. With the help of specialized pillows for ease and comfort, the trained technicians can focus on the areas that are specifically causing you discomfort. We suggest checking in with your OBGYN for confirmation that you can safely get a massage.
