When is the best time to go to a chiropractor when I am pregnant

Actually, the best time to see your chiropractor is when you are deciding to become pregnant.  The mothers body is a miracle in the making.  The first cells to form in the baby are those of the neural tube (the nervous system) which makes the spine and rest of the body, making it vitally important for the mothers body to best be able to produce this miracle.

However some benefits can be found during almost any trimester and even after birth of the child.

How does chiropractic help?

Chiropractic helps by addressing the tone of your nervous system.  Your body is already undergoing the many changes necessary to produce a living, healthy productive human being. Chiropractic adjustments are aimed at improving the overall function and communication that occur during this period of adaptation and growth.
