After a referral from a good friend, I started with Chiropractic care early in my pregnancy. I was having back pain from the start and really wanted to use it as a preventative method for future aches and pains. Little did I know that it would help in so many other ways. After my initial visit to the OB/GYN, they discovered that I had a thyroid problem which would need to be medicated especially during my pregnancy along with blood tests every few weeks to make sure that my levels were accurate. I was pretty disappointed because I really didn't want to have to take a bunch of medication during my pregnancy.
I started going to Dr. Heather at Yost Chiropractic right around the same time and after 4 weeks of visits with her...I went to have my thyroid tested again and it was in the expected range. I then learned that every part of your spine and nervous system is connected to another part of your body and how it functions. Well after my adjustments, as my spine was more correctly in alignment, my thyroid was functioning as I needed it to. I am so thankful that I don't have to be on medication. Chiropractic care is also known for faster and easier labor and deliveries and a faster recovery. Who wouldn't want that?!?!?
It's amazing the different things that can help you if you just take the time to learn about them.
19 days in counting until our ultrasound :) YEAH!!!
