An ancient form of Chinese medicine, acupuncture offers a plethora of benefits for a wide range of conditions, including issues commonly associated with pregnancy, such as neck and back pain. The practitioners at Forest Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Cincinnati remain dedicated to helping pregnant women stay comfortable and pain-free, despite the increasing stress being placed on their bodies. 

Some of the many benefits of a Acupuncture Specialist who is experienced in delivering acupuncture treatments to pregnant women include:

• Early Discomfort Alleviation: Headaches, fatigue and morning sickness are common issues that arise during the first trimester, in addition to hormonal changes and mood swings. By stimulating endorphins that contribute to relaxation and pain relief, acupuncture helps decrease early pregnancy discomforts, while simultaneously promoting an overall sense of well-being.
• Blood Pressure Regulation: Talk to the doctors at Forest Park about acupuncture for blood pressure regulation, as hormonal changes can result in related disorders. In addition to elevated blood pressure, symptoms such as palpitations, arrhythmias and suffocation sensations may occur. Thus, blood pressure stabilization via acupuncture is a helpful option for women dealing with such issues and symptoms.
• Depression and Anxiety Relief: Acupuncture and chiropractic care help alleviate depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy by normalizing endocrine activity, toning the nervous system, and otherwise revitalizing the body. The doctors and

  physiotherapists at Forest Park use acupuncture to increase serotonin secretion—the “happy hormone"—which greatly contributes to anxiety and depression prevention.

Acupuncture is able to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to everyone, and the benefits mentioned are just some ways they can alleviate pregnancy issues. To learn more about Forest Park Chiropractic Care's services, or to schedule a free consultation, call 513-742-0880, or visit the official website today.
