Patti Larson, a mother and author, wrote an article on “Pregnancy Today” magazine about her own experience of being pregnant and receiving help from professional chiropractic care. “Pregnancy Today” is a nationally recognized magazine that prides itself in being the journal for parents to be.
Patti began by explaining her emotions and her husband’s when they found out they were pregnant. She was in her mid thirties and pregnant for the first time, which prompted lots of questions and concerns like: when would she feel the morning sickness, how long would she be able to work, would she be able to bear the pain during delivery and not cry out like a drama queen? In short, valuable and normal doubts of every first time mom to be.
She clarified that she had a healthy diet and slept well, but she was far from being an exercise fan, in other words, she had great intentions but couldn’t commit to an exercise routine. This is when she wrote about her rescuer, what saved her from suffering unnecessary fatigue, pain, and stress due to her changing body shape and wild hormones: chiropractic care.
Patti explained that she was accustomed to visiting a chiropractor prior to being pregnant, so the logical thing to do was to keep going. Her chiropractor recommended that she schedule weekly appointments, but that she should increase them if she felt the need.
Her doctor, a chiropractor in Santa Monica, talked about why chiropractic care was so good for Patti during the pregnancy. He explained that this type of care deals with the functioning nervous system. When the nervous system is not overly stressed due to environmental aspects, possibly physical, emotional or chemical, the body is able to work in accordance to its particular genetic design. If a birth is stressful, this will, in turn, cause stress in all the parties involved, and it will stay present until the nervous system’s stress is relieved. Through chiropractic care, the body is allowed to manage the stress, helping future moms, new ones, and their adorable love bundles, to cope with life much easier.
Chiropractic care can really help during labor, stimulating the body when the due date arrives and passes, and nothing happens, prompting women to start labor in a natural way instead of letting a hospital use drugs to do it. Patti stated that she not only continued with the care during her pregnancy, but also after she gave birth to her daughter Madeline.
To finish, she explained that Madeline received regular adjustments during her second week in this world and she never suffered from colic, ear infections, colds, or any other type of sickness before she turned one, which is the most vulnerable period for babies.
She confessed that many people are shocked when she tells them that her daughter sees a chiropractor, however, they also agree that she is among the most vivacious and active babies they have met. Many people call her lucky, but she knows it is all in the adjustment!
So, follow Patti’s advice and confirm it for yourself, talk to a professional Ottawa chiropractor and discover a life without aches.
