If you are struggling with motion difficulties, neck pain, back pain, or would like to improve your overall fitness, chiropractic adjustments can help you. Pregnant women also benefit from chiropractic adjustments. At Back In Balance Wellness Center, we have been providing expectant mothers in Bangor, ME, and Ellsworth, ME with natural and effective prenatal chiropractic care.
What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?
Chiropractic adjustments, also called spinal manipulations or chiropractic manipulations, are procedures where trained chiropractors use small instruments or their hands to apply a sudden, controlled force to the patient’s spine. This treatment improves one's physical function, reduces pain or inflammation, and improves spinal motion.
What to Expect from Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractor will begin by performing a physical examination and ask about your health. Our chiropractor may recommend further diagnostics such as x-rays for more insight into your musculoskeletal issues. During the spinal manipulation, our chiropractor will have you in a specific position on a chiropractic table. Our chiropractor will proceed to apply sudden, controlled force to your joints, pushing them beyond their usual motion range. You may hear cracking or popping sounds during the session.
You may experience some minor side effects hours or days after your session. They can include fatigue, headache, or pain in the treated areas. Pregnant women especially benefit from chiropractic adjustments because of changes in the body brought on by pregnancy. The additional weight of a baby can apply excessive pressure to joints and soft tissues throughout the body, leading to pain and immobility.
