\"Pregnancy <\/a> <\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Not only can therapeutic treatment be helpful during pregnancy, but research has shown that it is also considered to be<\/span><\/font> safe<\/a> both during pregnancy and after birth…<\/p>\n

The research (referenced below) explains the clinical effectiveness of both chiropractic and massage when assisting expecting mother to manage and treat their pain and stiffness during pregnancy and in preparation for labour. 
\u200b<\/font>
Both the clinical study and research in 2013 and 2016 explore that during pregnancy some significant hormonal and physical changes can evidently occur, causing of an affect on the function of the nervous system.<\/font>(4)<\/font><\/p>\n

Studies also found that the increase in body weight during pregnancy can often put additional or tremendous stress on the joints and muscles in the spine and pelvis, causing the body into a forced compensation, that often leading to a destabilisation.<\/font>(5)<\/font><\/p>\n

Massage can also be implement during labour and after birth to help with the relief and release of  tight and tender muscles in the low back, legs and feet.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Does it really help?<\/h2>\n

  • Studies has shown that approximately 84% of pregnant patients  that receive pre-natal care have some relief from their back pain.<\/font>(3)<\/font><\/li>\n
  • In addition, patients that have some form of therapeutic treatment during pregnancy reported that the duration of their labour time was on average about 31% shorter.<\/font><\/span><\/li>\n
  • For women in the eighth month of pregnancy showing a breech position, a specific chiropractic method called the <\/span>Webster\u2019s Technique<\/em> showed a 92% success rate in resolving the breech position**<\/font>(4) (5)<\/font>\u200b\u200b<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
