changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the
developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or
joint:
Establishing pelvic balance
and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during
pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room
available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine
constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to
get into the best possible position for delivery.
The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body
systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps
the entire body work more effectively.
