Prenatal care is a vital part of ensuring the health of a pregnancy. This care involves routine checkups and medical tests to check on the development of the future baby. At Infinity Chiropractic and Rehab Center, we recommend getting treated with prenatal chiropractic care. This branch of chiropractic care specializes in treating pregnancy-related problems, especially in the back, the hips, and the abdomen. Here is how we provide prenatal care to the people of Freehold, Farmingdale, and Hamilton.
Services in Prenatal Chiropractic Care
This area of practice is about providing relief, particularly for chronic pain in the back, pelvis, joints, or abdomen. Our center treats a wide range of medical conditions related to pregnancy, including things like:
- Lower back pain
- Pelvis dysfunction
- Sciatica
- Sacroiliac pain
- Symphysis
- Round ligament pain
How Often to Book Prenatal Care Visits
This will depend on your condition during pregnancy. If you experience frequent bouts of pain –especially in the back of the pelvis – then it's recommended that you visit at least once a month. The chiropractor might recommend weekly visitation, especially near the end of the pregnancy, when the heavier wound causes a greater amount of stress.
What Happens During a Prenatal Visit?
During the initial visit, expect our chiropractor to perform a physical exam, which could include a blood test, an ultrasound, a urine sample, a heart rate measurement, a blood pressure measurement, a recording of your weight, and a review of your medical history. The more information a healthcare provider has, the more detail will go into your prenatal care plan.
Should our chiropractor diagnose you with a condition, then the next step will be to find a proper treatment option for that condition. For example, the patient could develop sciatica from the nerve pressure that the growing womb creates. The sciatica treatment would go toward physical therapy or functional neurology. If the patient develops round ligament pain - which includes symptoms like bleeding, swelling, and problems with the limbs - then the chiropractor will determine the correct treatment plan for that.
