For the majority of women, the range of physical and emotional symptoms you encounter during pregnancy are demanding. It’s normal to experience frequent physical pain and aches in the lower back, hips, and abdomen as the uterus expands, and the baby begins to grow.
Fortunately, there are chiropractic professionals and techniques intended to relieve the pain and stress that accompanies pregnancy. Tieperman Health and Wellness, a top chiropractic clinic in Frisco, TX, offers specialized prenatal massage and other services specific to the needs of pregnant patients. Chiropractic care is centered around maintaining a healthy spinal column and correctly aligned joints. This form of physical therapy reduces spinal nerve stress while enhancing overall health and body functioning. This particular class of care is common and safe, even during pregnancy.
That said, there are special circumstances where chiropractic care may not be a good idea. It’s imperative you obtain approval from your doctor before scheduling a prenatal massage. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, avoid chiropractic care:
- ectopic pregnancy
- moderate to severe toxemia
- placenta previa or placental abruption
- vaginal bleeding
At Tieperman Health & Wellness, we specialize in safe and effective prenatal massage techniques. Our prenatal massages work to relieve physical pain and tension, which generally occurs in the lower back and hip area, all while avoiding any form of pressure on sensitive areas like the abdomen.
The combined physical and emotional benefits of prenatal chiropractic care are stunning. These massages work to physically reduce stress and swelling, which increases circulation, helps enhance sleep, reduces anxiety, and improves mood.
As a child-bearer, the benefits of prenatal massages also include enhanced blood circulation and physical preparation for labor. Massage therapy helps improve blood flow, which is especially important in areas like the uterus, placenta, and fetus during pregnancy. This improved flow promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, which is mutually beneficial for both the mother and child. As far as labor preparation goes, its important the muscles in the mother’s back, abdomen, and pelvis, are functional and relaxed to decrease possible resistance as the baby exits the body.
Once the doctor has approved chiropractic care, women can start prenatal massages at any point in the pregnancy. That said, always consult your Primary Care Physician or Ob/GYN before proceeding. For more information or to book a massage today, contact Tieperman Health & Wellness in Frisco, Texas.
