Newark chiropractor, chiropractor in Newark, DE

Chiropractic care is the health maintenance of the spinal column, disc's, related nerves and bone geometry without drugs or surgery. It involves the arts and science of adjusting misaligned joints of the body, especially of the spine, which reduces spinal nerve stress and therefore promotes health throughout the body.

There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy. All chiropractors are trained to work with women who are pregnant.

Our Chiropractors have been trained to work with pregnant women and we use tables that adjust for pregnant women even as their body changes and grows. We use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen.

Doctors Hollstein and Skjaveland are versed in the needs of women who are pregnant and they will also provide you with exercises and stretches that are safe to use during pregnancy and compliment any adjustments made to your spine.

During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocriniological changes that occur in the preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joint:

• Protruding abdomen and increase back curve
• Pelvic changes
• Postural adaptations

Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy may provide benefits for women who are pregnant. Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:

• Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
• Controlling symptoms of nausea
• Reducing the time of labor and delivery
• Relieving back, neck or joint pain
• prevent a potential Cesarean section
