Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
As the body changes very rapidly during pregnancy, there is a large amount of stress placed on the musculoskeletal system. The joints in the body try to compensate for these changes, and as a result, they are often sore and stiff. Your Chiropractor has special techniques that will help make you comfortable during all the stages of pregnancy. Chiropractic is safe for both the mother and fetus and often helps to reduce those “typical pregnancy” aches and pains.

For nearly 20 years, Dr. Perri has enjoyed treating hundreds of women throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Her gentle touch and special tables have given her the opportunity to share in this special time and give tremendous relief to so many. Pregnancy is one of the most important times to make sure your body is functioning optimally with regular chiropractic care.
YES! Not only is it safe, it can help to relieve many of the problems associated with pregnancy, such as low back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, and sore muscles. Studies have shown that women treated with chiropractic care throughout their pregnancies even have shorter labor times. By helping to insure that the nervous system is functioning to its optimal capacity and that all the muscles and joints are in proper balance, many potential problems can be avoided and many existing problems fixed. At least half of all pregnant women experience low back pain due to the hormonal and postural changes. These changes are repsonsible for laxity in ligaments and the shifting of weight-bearing structures within the body. Regular care during pregnancy plays a vital part in helping to support the musculoskeletal system which eases the strain on the back and legs.
