Currently, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) recommends women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to establish pelvic balance and optimize the room a baby has for development throughout pregnancy. With a balanced pelvis, babies have a greater chance of moving into the correct position for birth, and the crisis and worry associated with breech and posterior presentations may be avoided altogether.

Just like going to the dentist for a check-up a couple times a year can help keep your mouth healthy and catch problems early, taking your healthy kids to the chiropractor (even when they’re not complaining) is a very healthy habit.
