Pregnancy is a profound rite of passage embraced from a space of openness and joy; it is not something that needs to be fixed. Yet enjoying 40+ weeks of a challenging pregnancy can be nearly impossible if mom is in pain or extreme discomfort. If the simple act of getting out of bed brings waves of fear for knowing only pain awaits, joy is replaced by anxiety or dread. The challenge distracts from the joy of creating life and growing one’s family.
A growing baby puts pressure on Mom’s expanding pelvis and hip joints. It’s common for back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, sleeplessness or a general sense of being uncomfortable. Prenatal Chiropractic Care can help identify the misalignments and imbalances that cause discomfort in Mom’s spine. This provides the relief needed to get back to a JOYFUL pregnancy.
I sought out chiropractic care in my first trimester of pregnancy because my body was changing and I was in a lot of pain. Dr. Naeema took the time to answer all of my questions and what stood out for me was how committed EFC is to education and explaining each step so I was comfortable in this new environment.”
