Women's Health

In today's fast-paced society, women face unique health challenges, regardless of their stage in life. These challenges range from hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, postural changes, to other factors that cause discomfort and pain. As such, many women turn to chiropractic care for relief and management of these symptoms.

​

This comprehensive guide provides essential information on the role of chiropractic care in women's health throughout the key stages of life, and what to expect when visiting a chiropractor. The guide is divided into different sections, each addressing a particular stage in a woman's life.

Expecting mothers often experience significant changes in their body as they prepare to support their growing baby. These changes can lead to discomfort, pain, and other unwanted symptoms. More than 68% of women experience low back pain during pregnancy, while another 65% report pelvic pain post-delivery.

Fortunately, routine chiropractic care can help alleviate these symptoms through chiropractic adjustments, a non-invasive technique that corrects joint dysfunctions caused by all the changes taking place in the body during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can provide relief from back, neck or joint pain, increased flexibility and mobility, reduced symptoms of nausea and acid reflux, better sleep, and more.

Being a mom is a challenging job that requires a lot of physical activity and can lead to pain and discomfort long after childbirth. Repetitive activity and stress can lead to subluxations of the spine, which negatively affect nerve communication from the brain to the body, resulting in pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care can promote a safe, effective, and drug-free approach to improving joint function, resulting in a healthier, more active you.

To help women avoid pain, chiropractors recommend five life hacks, including investing in a properly fitting bra, ditching heels when possible, avoiding sitting for long periods, adjusting the workspace, and routinely visiting a local chiropractor. Chiropractic care is not only a solution for back pain but also essential to improving a woman's overall health and well-being.

Women who are considering visiting a chiropractor may have questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care. The guide addresses six frequently asked questions by women, including whether chiropractic care hurts and if it is safe, whether chiropractic treatment is safe during pregnancy, and how often one may need treatment during pregnancy.

In conclusion, chiropractic care can play a vital role in maintaining a woman's health and well-being throughout the different stages of life. From expecting mothers to time-crushed moms on the go, chiropractic care offers safe, non-invasive, and effective solutions for relieving pain and discomfort and improving overall health and well-being.
