Pregnant Women Can Get Relief With The Help Of Chiropractors

in #medicine7 years ago

Chiropractic practises are unconventional and have faced lot of controversies. It has taken a lot of time to get the consensus of other medical practitioners and was regarded as an ‘unscientific cult’. However now it has got acceptance by the mainstream.

Chiropractic now is well set-up in places like Australia, USA and Canada. Its practices, a lot of it, matches with those of manual-therapy professions like massage, osteopathy and other physical therapies.

This health care occupation was first initiated by D. D. Palmer and was later promoted and commercialised by his son B.J Palmer in the 20th century. There are two groups in this- mixers and straights. Straights, the minority group mostly focus on spinal adjustments and innate intelligence. Mixers form the majority. They emphasize on exercise, massage and ice therapy and are more accepting towards the conventional medical approaches and techniques.

Chiropractic treatment techniques mostly involve manual therapies, fixing of dislocated joints and spinal column and soft tissues. These treatments have a holistic aspect. It is not only targeted at nullifying all the pain symptoms but also prevents the pain from recurring. The treatments also include exercises, health care and lifestyle.

Chiropractic care can be safe only if skilfully and carefully applied. It can cure neck pain, lower back pain, pain between the shoulders and other such discomforts. Seabrook Texas Chiropractors involve a lot of techniques like Graston therapy meant for soft tissues, k-tape technique used to unwind overused muscles, the popular traction therapy and also provide sports chiropractors who can reduce pain of the athletes and at the same time improve their muscle capacities to function better.

Lower back pain in early pregnancy is a symptom due to which more and more patients go visit chiropractors. This mostly occurs in the third trimester of a pregnant woman. With the increase in the weight of the baby and the total body weight of the mother back pain arises. This also happens if the mother had a weak back before even becoming pregnant. More scientifically, it is the release of the hormone ‘relaxin’ produced by the mother’s body to loosen ligaments and joints that causes instability and pain in the spine. Stress is also a major reason for back pain. The lower back pain could be shooting aches or just mere dull aches.

Visiting a chiropractor can help alleviate the pain to a large extent. A chiropractor will prescribe a number of exercises that will be targeted at strengthening the back muscles and core muscles. Also proper attention should be paid to the postures. A chiropractor can manually correct the alignment of the spine which will thus lessen the pain at the back. Also the treatment using Gaston technique can be employed by the chiropractor. S/he will be able to locate knots using this technique. The technique always involves the usage of a few tools.

Also regular visiting a chiropractor helps during delivery as then the muscles can properly contract and does need to struggle against misaligned joints or pelvis. Thus it reduces the time taken during labour.
