Science-Backed Evidence Behind Our Methods
When facing physical discomfort or emotional stress during pregnancy, many expectant mothers wonder: “Are natural therapies really effective?” or “Is there any scientific proof behind these methods?”
While conventional medical care focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases, many pregnancy-related discomforts—like back pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, or breech position—fall into a grey zone that is not easily resolved with medication.
Recently, chiropractic care and nutritional approaches tailored for pregnant women have gained scientific support. Here, we introduce the latest research evidence behind our “Maternity Hands Care.”
Support for Lower Back and Pelvic Pain
A 2021 randomized controlled trial found that spinal adjustments provided through chiropractic care significantly improved back pain and quality of life (QOL) in pregnant women (Feliciano D et al., Fertility and Sterility, 2021).
As hormonal changes and posture shifts place stress on the lower body, gentle manual therapy can effectively relieve tension in the pelvic and lumbar regions.
Nervous System and Hormonal Regulation
Natural therapies don’t just target muscles—they influence the autonomic nervous system and hormonal balance. A 2018 Canadian case study reported that 9 out of 11 women with infertility achieved natural pregnancy after chiropractic care (Borgmeyer V et al., J Can Chiropr Assoc, 2018).
This suggests a connection between body alignment and hormone-regulating organs such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, and adrenal glands.
Nutrition and Cellular Health
Combining bodywork with nutritional interventions enhances results. A 2022 meta-analysis showed that antioxidants like CoQ10 and melatonin improved egg quality and fertilization rates in women of advanced maternal age (Zhang Y et al., Reproductive BioMedicine Online, 2022).
Maternity Hands Care integrates molecular nutrition to support healthy pregnancies from the inside out.
Emotional and Mental Well-being
Manual therapy techniques targeting the cranial bones and internal organs have been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation.
This helps reduce symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, poor sleep, and fatigue during pregnancy—conditions often linked to dysregulated cortisol and adrenal fatigue (Pizzorno J et al., Integrative Medicine, 2020).
【Summary】
Natural pregnancy therapies—when based on anatomical, neurological, and nutritional science—offer effective and safe support for pregnant women. At our clinic, we use evidence-backed methods like chiropractic adjustment, visceral manipulation, and molecular nutrition to address the root causes of discomfort.
Whether it’s physical pain or hormonal imbalance, the goal of Maternity Hands Care is to support women naturally, gently, and comprehensively during this important life stage.
