The BIOMECHANICS of PREGNANCY

During pregnancy, the body goes through an incredible amount of biomechanical & hormonal changes that can alter spinal curvature, balance, and gait patterns by affecting key areas of the human body.

Prenatal chiropractic care can help the body adapt to these changes and to maintain a healthier pregnancy.
