What Is Pre & Post Natal Care?

Pre Natal Care
Pre natal care refers to healthcare and supportive therapies provided during pregnancy to promote maternal comfort, mobility, and overall wellness. From a musculoskeletal perspective, pre natal chiropractic care focuses on:
-
Supporting spinal and pelvic alignment
-
Reducing joint and muscle strain
-
Adapting to postural changes as the body grows
-
Promoting healthy movement patterns throughout pregnancy
Post Natal Care
Post natal care focuses on a woman’s recovery after childbirth. The body undergoes significant physical stress during labor and delivery, and post natal care helps address:
-
Musculoskeletal imbalances
-
Core and pelvic stability
-
Postural strain from infant care and feeding
-
Gradual return to daily activity and exercise
Pre and post natal care together provide continuity of support, helping women feel their best during pregnancy and recover more efficiently afterward.

Understanding Pre & Post Natal Care

How Pregnancy Affects the Body
During pregnancy, hormonal changes particularly increased relaxin cause ligaments to become more flexible. While this is essential for childbirth, it can also lead to:
-
Joint instability
-
Altered spinal alignment
-
Increased stress on the pelvis and lower back
As the baby grows, a woman’s center of gravity shifts, often resulting in changes to posture, gait, and muscle activation.
The Postpartum Transition
After childbirth, the body does not immediately return to its pre-pregnancy state. Many women experience:
-
Ongoing ligament laxity
-
Core and pelvic floor weakness
-
New physical demands from lifting, feeding, and caring for a newborn
Understanding these changes is key to providing safe, effective pre and post natal care that supports long-term women’s health.
