A woman's body goes through huge changes during pregnancy. Ligaments loosen. Organs shift as the baby grows. The curve of the spine changes, and hormones are racing. All of this can bring aches, pains, and discomfort.
You do not have to just push through it. At DC Family Chiropractic in Cañon City, Colorado, Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. offers gentle prenatal chiropractic care. He is trained in adjusting pregnant women, and he helps mothers stay comfortable before, during, and after pregnancy.
Back pain is one of the most common pregnancy complaints. The extra weight in front pulls your body out of its normal posture. That leads to muscle tension, pressure on nerves, and strain on your joints.
How Prenatal Chiropractic Can Help
Our prenatal care is safe, gentle, and non-invasive. We focus on three main areas:
Pelvic Balance
Gentle adjustments help keep your pelvis and hips aligned and balanced as your body changes.
Back and Pubic Pain
Care that eases the strain of carrying extra weight, so everyday tasks feel more manageable.
After Baby Arrives
Postnatal care to help your body recover while you get to know your new baby.
Dr. Buckhaults helps women through the whole prenatal and postnatal process. Our goal is a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother recovery, for mom and for the whole family.
