Pregnant women benefit from the physical and mental aspects of chiropractic care. Chiropractic seeks to treat the whole body, and create a state of wellness, rather then medicating a few symptoms.
According to Jeffry Ptak, a chiropractor in Santa Monica California, when asked about the importance of chiropractic care during pregnancy, he states that, “Chiropractic care addresses the functioning nervous system," he then adds, “When the nervous system is not unduly stressed from environmental factors – physical, emotional or chemical stress – the body will work according to its unique genetic plan."
