In some cases, an uncorrected subluxation may lead to a deformity of the spinal column. Early Chiropractic checkups may detect many spinal problems while they are still easily correctable and regular Chiropractic checkups can identify underlying problems and help avoid many health complaints seen later in adults. Children love to get adjusted and seem healthier than other children. Because of the additional weight and stress on the framework of the body in pregnant women, Chiropractic adjustments can help lower the incidence of pain in the low back and legs, and between the shoulder blades. In some cases, fewer headaches and problems with nausea and elimination may also result.
Many chiropractors care for expectant mothers in the regular course of their daily practices.
It is wise, however, to first inquire about the experience of your chiropractor in caring for pregnant women and what he or she recommends for you. Most health problems begin long before symptoms develop. Pain is the last thing the body experiences and is usually the first thing to go away. Assuming you are healthy because you feel good is a dangerous proposition. Underlying health problems can be discovered objectively without symptoms.
