How Can Chiropractic Help?
Your spine is made up of 24 independent vertebrae that allow your body to rotate, bend and move. It also helps protect the delicate central nervous system that controls and coordinates every cell, tissue and organ of the body.
Subluxations of the spine, commonly known as joint dysfunctions, occur when two or more vertebrae become restricted and interfere with the body’s ability to communicate with itself. Joint disorders during pregnancy can be caused by the changes taking place in your body as it prepares to support you and your new bundle of joy.
Changes such as weight gain in the abdomen, poor posture and rotation of the pelvis force the body to unnaturally adapt to additional strain on the spine. These changes negatively affect joint function and nerve communication throughout the body.
Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct joint dysfunctions by applying gentle, focused movement to the body’s spine and limbs – where and when needed – to restore proper joint function and improve nerve communication throughout the body. This non-invasive technique is commonly known as a chiropractic adjustment.
