Why Should You Have Kingaroy Physiotherapy During Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, several physiological and endocrine changes occur in preparing the right environment for the developing baby. The following changes could lead to a misaligned spine or joint complications:

    • Curve in protruding abdomen and increase in the curve of the back

    • Pelvic changes

    • Postural adaptations    

Establishing balance and pelvic alignment is one more reason to get Kingaroy physiotherapy care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it can reduce the space available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine restriction.

A misaligned pelvis can also make it difficult for the baby to get into the proper position for delivery. This can affect the mother's ability to have a natural, non-invasive delivery. The breech position can interfere with the natural ease of childbirth and lead to interventions such as cesarean section.

The nervous system is the master communication system that communicates to all the systems of the body including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine in alignment helps the whole body work more efficiently.

What About Pregnancy Chiropractic Care and Breech Deliveries?

The late Larry Webster, DC, Founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), developed a chiropractic-specific analysis and adjustment that enables chiropractors to establish balance in the pregnant woman's pelvis and reduce stress unnecessary to your uterus and supporting ligaments. This state of equilibrium in the pelvis has been clinically shown to allow optimal fetal positioning. The technique is known as the Webster technique.

A breech baby is considered normal until the third trimester. Most birth attendants do not concern themselves with breech positions until the patient is 37 weeks pregnant. About 4% of pregnancies end in the breech position.

Today, the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA) recommends that women receive chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy to establish pelvic balance and optimize the space a baby has for development. Hence, pregnancy chiropractic care is one of the safest options for women.

With a balanced pelvis, babies are more likely to move into the correct position for birth, and the crisis and worry associated with breech presentation and subsequent presentations can be avoided altogether. Optimal positioning of the baby at the time of birth also eliminates the possibility of dystocia (difficult delivery) and therefore easier and safer deliveries for both mother and baby.
