Prenatal and Postnatal Chiropractic Care: Supporting Your Pregnancy Journey

Pregnancy is an incredible time of change for your body. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, your ligaments loosen, and your spine and pelvis adapt to accommodate new life. But these changes can also lead to discomfort. As a leading pregnancy chiropractor in Brooklyn, we’re here to help you find safe, natural relief throughout your journey to motherhood.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Prenatal chiropractic care offers numerous benefits for expectant mothers:

  • Relief from pregnancy-related pain, including low back pain, sciatica, hip pain, and round ligament pain
  • Optimal baby positioning by balancing the pelvis and reducing intrauterine constraint, which may lower the risk of breech presentation
  • Easier, faster labor and delivery by preparing the pelvis for childbirth
  • Improved sleep, mood, and overall quality of life by reducing discomfort and promoting relaxation

One study found that chiropractic care during pregnancy resulted in significantly less pain and disability compared to usual obstetric care alone (Wick et al., 2020).

Safe, Specialized Techniques

During treatment, Dr. Patel uses specialized pregnancy cushions and tables to ensure your comfort and accommodate your growing belly. He tailors each adjustment to your unique needs and stage of pregnancy.

“I started seeing Dr. Patel for severe sciatica during my third trimester. His prenatal adjustments were so gentle but effective – I always left feeling relief. I truly believe his care helped me have a smoother delivery and recovery.” – Maria G.

Postpartum Recovery Benefits

Chiropractic care isn’t just for pregnancy – it can also be incredibly beneficial for postpartum recovery. After all, your body goes through another major transformation after delivery as your spine and pelvis adjust to not being pregnant anymore. Chiropractic care can help:

  • Realign your spine and pelvis after the stresses of pregnancy and childbirth
  • Relieve lingering back, neck, hip, and pelvic pain
  • Restore proper joint function and muscle balance
  • Address posture changes and strains from breastfeeding and baby care

Speed overall recovery so you can focus on bonding with your little one

Backed by Research

Chiropractic care is a safe, evidence-based option for pregnancy-related discomfort. A 2020 review of 20 studies found that chiropractic care during pregnancy was associated with improved pain and function, as well as higher patient satisfaction (Larson et al., 2020).

Another study concluded that chiropractic care is a low-risk, effective strategy for managing pregnancy-related low back pain, a condition that affects up to 70% of pregnant women (Liddle et al., 2022).

What to Expect

During your first visit, Dr. Patel will thoroughly review your health history, pregnancy journey, and current symptoms. He’ll perform a gentle examination and assess your posture and joint function. Using this information, he’ll develop a personalized care plan to support your pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Prenatal and postnatal visits typically involve:

  • Gentle, specific adjustments to realign your spine and pelvis
  • Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation
  • Stretches and exercises to improve flexibility and stability
  • Ergonomic and self-care advice for managing symptoms between visits

FAQ’s

Yes, chiropractic care is considered a safe, effective treatment for pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain when provided by a practitioner with specific training and experience in prenatal care, like Dr. Patel.

You can benefit from chiropractic care at any stage of pregnancy, but many women begin care in the second or third trimester, when pain and discomfort tend to intensify. Early care may also help prevent pain from developing.

Visit frequency varies depending on your individual needs and symptoms. Many women benefit from monthly visits for general pregnancy wellness, while those with specific pain conditions may need more frequent care initially. Dr. Patel will recommend a schedule that’s right for you.
