Supporting your pregnancy and birth with chiropractic
Pregnancy is a transformative journey, and ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby is paramount.
In Singapore, where the demand for specialised care is on the rise, chiropractic care, particularly at One Spine Chiropractic Singapore, emerges as a valuable ally during this crucial time.
Offering a range of benefits that extend beyond mere relief from aches and pains, chiropractic care is a cornerstone in preparing for a healthy pregnancy and birth.
How can chiropractic benefit the expectant mum?
- Prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth.
- Reduces tension in the ligaments that support the uterus, potentially reduces aberrant tension to the uterus.
- By improving the mother’s spinal and nervous system function, we decrease the chances of unnecessary intervention during birth
- Reduce pregnancy related aches and pains
Pregnancy can cause a lot of stress to the body
During pregnancy, the mother’s center of gravity shifts forward and slightly upwards. Consequently, it destabilizes her posture and changes how forces are transmitted through the joints. This increases her risk of injury or damage to the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and connective tissues.
The increased weight and gait compensations can also lead to sprain and strain of spinal structures.
3 causes of difficult labour
- Inadequate uterine function - irregular contractions, irregular strength, and irregular timing prevents the normal process of labour
- Pelvic imbalance - Misalignments of pelvic joints possibly from early accidents in life or due to modern habits like prolonged sitting and poor posture
- Baby malpresentation
What we do: Specific analysis and adjustments to correct misalignments.
A misalignment of the sacrum (tailbone) or pelvic joints is often the root cause of problems. By finding the misalignment, and correcting it with gentle, specific adjustments, we can improve pelvic balance, and reduce tension to pelvic muscles and ligaments. This allows for easier, safer births!
How can chiropractic benefit the unborn child?
- When a mother’s physiological function is at its best, her baby’s development is optimised.
- A balanced pelvis allows the baby more room to develop without restrictions to the formation of its cranium, spine, and skeletal structures.
- Allows baby to assume the best possible position for birth
- Proper fetal positioning sets the stage for an easier, natural birth. This decreases the risk of dystocia (abnormal labor or childbirth), and the resulting birth trauma.
How can chiropractic affect baby positioning and birth outcome?
By improving the mother’s pelvic balance! When the mother’s pelvis is out of alignment, the ligaments that connect the pelvis to the uterus increase their tension, resulting in a distortion to the baby’s environment
The chiropractic adjustment to the pelvis releases tension to the ligaments and uterus, allowing the baby to move freely and assume the best possible position throughout pregnancy. It sets the stage for a safer and easier natural birth
