Chiropractic for pregnancy

Movement during pregnancy is vital for your baby’s
development!

Research tells us:

• Movement stimulates the development of your babies brain and nervous system. During the third trimester, there are more brain cells developing and neural connections during this time than any other time in our life.(1)
• Movement helps proper development of the ear and inner ear — which is vitally important for hearing and for balance.(2)
• Restriction of the legs can cause long-term alterations in the development of motor functions for example leg posture, reflexes and posture while walking. This is most likely because the feedback loops between the brain and lower limbs are altered.(3)
