Pregnancy Chiropractic in Coral Gables
How Proper Spinal Alignment Could Ease Your Labor
Your body undergoes incredible changes during pregnancy, and your pelvis bears much of that transformation. The round ligament in your hips may become extremely tight as your baby grows, potentially causing the birth canal to close and making delivery more difficult.
Dr. Besson focuses on your sacrum and round ligament areas, helping these tissues breathe and open more easily. The results speak for themselves; patients who receive regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy average 20-25 minute deliveries.
Your Baby Benefits Too
Shorter labor times aren’t just convenient for Mom, they’re healthier for the baby as well. When you have more room in the pelvis, your baby has space to move into the optimal position for birth.
Beyond the physical benefits, there’s an emotional component that’s equally important. “If the mom is at ease and she’s more relaxed, she’s more stress-free, so the baby is as well,” Dr. Besson explains. This mind-body connection creates a calmer environment for both the mother and child throughout the pregnancy.
