More and more women are recognizing the value of chiropractic care as a part of prenatal care; however, the number of women who know about the benefits a chiropractor can provide for her and her new baby is still very low.

It is no secret that a woman’s body goes through a wide array of changes during pregnancy, and one of them happens directly as the baby grows inside of her. When this happens, mom’s musculoskeletal system has to adjust to fit the growing uterus and get ready for delivery. This is when chiropractic care comes in to save the day. It helps the woman’s body stay aligned during the pregnancy process and keeps the nervous system working appropriately.

Most pregnant women experience lower back pain, hip pain, and pubic symphysis due to the stress the body is in because of the growth of the baby and the changes that happen in order to accommodate the new life. As the belly grows, the woman’s gravity center moves and it is difficult for the lower back and pelvis to adjust to this change so quickly, causing stress and misalignments or subluxations, which produce pain and dysfunctions. These conditions affect the uterus and the position of the baby inside the belly.

The uterus is connected to the pelvis by three types of ligaments:

- The broad ligament

- The uterosacral ligaments

- The round ligaments

These ligaments’ function is to maintain the uterus at the proper place within the pelvis and to give support while the uterus grows to shelter the fetus. If the pelvis is subluxated, the ligaments torque and directly affect the uterus’ position, causing the baby to shift from its optimal position into a breech or transverse baby.

The chiropractor’s mission is to correct any subluxations in the pelvis to balance the uterus and allow the baby to position itself correctly. These adjustments are gentle, very specific, and completely safe.

Besides making life much more comfortable for the future mom, when the pelvis is aligned, the birth process is faster, safer, and easier. One of the most common reasons for c-sections is a baby in breech or transverse position, and although these are done all the time, one must never forget that a c-section is a major surgery and encompasses all major surgery risks. Women should try to give birth naturally, through the birth canal, in order to lower any type of risk, and to be able to be up and running as soon as possible to start taking good care of their precious new babies.

Don’t let your pregnancy stop you from living your life. Stay active and happy while preparing for the arrival of your child so that you can give it all your love and attention without sacrificing your health.

And to help Ontario women, there is an Ontario wellness solution in chiropractic care. A professional chiropractor knows how special your body is and how much care you require during the normal periods of life, all the more during pregnancy.

Back exercise is one on the conservative treatments applied in the management of back pains and is known to effectively help reduce the pains. However, back exercises must be done under the supervision of a licensed health professional to give the patient the most appropriate routines based on his medical history and background.

Here are some of the exercises and stretches that an expert recommends for management of back pains:

• Extension — This stretching is done by lying face down on the floor with feet extended all the way behind. Then lift the head and arch the back using the arms to support the upper body. To accentuate the stretch, lock the elbows straight and keep the hands by the side.
• Rotation Stretch — This involves stretching the muscles that rotate the back while sitting comfortably or on an exercise ball preferably, then turning the shoulder to one direction and staying in this position for a while.
• Sideways Bending — This is also done while sitting on an exercise ball if possible. Start by clasping the hands together and extending overhead. Still with the arms extended, bend the upper body to one side then hold the stretch. Afterwards, do the stretching to the opposite side.
• Hamstring Stretch — This type of stretching is essential in incorporating the back into any back stretching routine. The flexibility of the back and the muscles linking the extremities to the back both contribute to a Proper Posture. The hamstring stretches are done in a number of ways. A simple way is by sitting with one leg extended and the other leg folded inwards. Then reach to touch the toes of the extended leg.
• Abdominal Crunch — This exercise not only helps alleviate the back pain but also strengthens the abdominal muscles. Place the feet on an exercise ball and proceed with the crunches. It is suggested that feet are placed on an exercise ball so that the workout is focused on the muscles without contributing to back strain.
• Planks — The plank exercise can be performed even without an exercise ball. Lying face down on the floor, push yourself up balancing only on the forearms and toes. Holding the torso rigid, without sticking the bottom up in the air is the essence of the Plank.
• Bicycle — It is imperative to start this exercise slowly. With arms folded behind the head while lying on the back, bring an elbow to the opposite knee. Relax, then bring the other elbow to its opposite knee. Speed up the process, as you become more comfortable, to resemble a bicycle peddling motion.
• Chin up — This is an exercise that strengthens the upper back. Body parts utilized in this work out are the biceps, middle back and forearms. Begin by grasping a pull up bar with palms and face towards each other. The hands should be positioned a little narrower than shoulder-width apart. Pull the body up using the biceps while keeping the body straight as possible. Then slowly return to the starting position and repeat the exercise as desired.
