If you’re pregnant, you don’t need us to tell you that your back is aching! A chiropractor seems like a perfect solution. But did you even know that regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy could even give you a 30 to 40% shorter, and smoother, labour?
Dr. Trester and his wife Shalene run West 1st Chiropractic Wellness Centre in Vancouver, and his specialty is pre / post natal care and pediatric care. Dr. Trester stresses the need for regular adjustments as a means of preventing spine and nerve damage throughout pregnancy, just like regular checkups at a dentist can prevent cavities. For a pregnant woman, chiropractic adjustments can really prevent and heal common ailments of back pain, groin pain, sciatic pain, as well as glute and hip pain.
But what about your baby? Does an infant need chiropractic adjustments? Dr. Trester says it is important to have your baby checked out. There are certainly times when the labour goes super smoothly, and baby is peachy! But, if it was a difficult labour, with extra force or even if forceps were needed, your baby could need one or two adjustments, to adjust their spine to ensure there is no nerve interference.
Dr. Trester says parents are often amazed and shocked when a chiropractic adjustment eases their baby’s sleeping difficulties, ear infections, and even colic! Seeing that kind of impact is easily the brightest part of his day.
