Is chiropractic care dangerous during pregnancy?
This is the question my other patients ask me when they see a lady with a big bump exiting my office. We at Chiropractic Dubai are very well educated in all the possible complications of pregnancy and know exactly what can be done to help, and at what stage. Our methods are very varied and encompass all the possible techniques, which can serve to relieve pain and correct the imbalances, which lead to the pain. Our chiropractic benches are adaptable to the enlarged tummy of a pregnant mum, and they often feel so comfortable they ask if they can sleep there. During pregnancy, the curves of the spine are exaggerated due to the weight of the growing baby in the abdomen. The lumbar curve is pulled further to the front of the woman and this puts an extra strain on the low back muscles. Ligaments become looser and do not hold the bones in place as well as usual. Spinal joints become strained. Specific exercises and adjustments enable the spine to function better and adapt to the new posture.
