Pregnancy Chiropractic in South Austin

When you’re pregnant, your body goes through more changes than at any other time in your life – all in nine short months! The changes are physical, biochemical, hormonal and emotional, and all those changes can lead to a lot of stress in the body. Regular adjustments can help your body adapt to these on-going changes. In addition, adjustments help balance your hips and uterine ligaments to create enough space for your baby to grow and get into the optimal head-down position for an easier delivery with fewer medical interventions.

At Transform Austin Chiropractic, we use safe, gentle NetworkSpinal® chiropractic adjustments (entrainments) for our pregnant practice members. We also have a special cushion that allows even full-term moms to lie face-down on the adjusting table, which provides a level of comfort they have often been lacking.

All those changes that Mom’s body is going through can result in compromised nervous system function – and since her nervous system is functioning for two people, any compromise can affect the development of the baby.

Regular chiropractic adjustments allow her nervous system to function optimally, which means her body is able to properly support and nourish her growing baby. And when her pelvis is aligned and the baby can get into the best birthing position, delivery goes more smoothly – meaning a gentler birth for the baby.

The amount of stress a baby experiences during birth can affect their ability to handle stress throughout life, so we strive to help Mom provide the gentlest possible birth to give her baby the best possible start in life.

Your body was already undergoing tremendous change and stress – and then you gave birth! Besides that physical stress, there’s also the stress of transitioning to motherhood, which is often overlooked by everyone (including Mom) because all the attention is on the new baby.
