Close your eyes.
Now bend your elbow.
Without looking, you still know approximately where your arm is.
How? 🧠
That simple experience introduces proprioception — your sense of body position and movement.
Sensory receptors in muscles, tendons, and joints provide information about position, movement, and force. Your nervous system integrates this information with visual and vestibular input to help coordinate movement, posture, and balance.
During pregnancy, the mechanical demands of movement can change. As pregnancy progresses, body shape, mass distribution, joint loading, and movement demands may evolve.
Your nervous system continues to process sensory information and coordinate movement within this changing mechanical environment.
Importantly, this does not mean that pregnancy automatically causes impaired proprioception, poor balance, or a “dysregulated” nervous system. Every body adapts differently.
So where does chiropractic fit?
Chiropractic assessment can consider relevant aspects of neuromusculoskeletal function based on the individual clinical presentation.
This may include:
Movement • Joint function • Muscle function • Relevant neurological findings
The goal is to understand the individual’s neuromusculoskeletal presentation, identify clinically relevant findings, and determine whether chiropractic care, self-management, co-management, or referral may be appropriate.
As pregnancy progresses, movement demands continue to evolve. Individualized, evidence-informed care begins with understanding how each person is moving and functioning through those changes.

چشمهایتان را ببندید.
حالا آرنجتان را خم کنید.
بدون اینکه به دستتان نگاه کنید، باز هم میدانید تقریباً در چه موقعیتی قرار دارد.
چطور؟ 🧠
این تجربه ساده، مفهومی به نام «حس عمقی» یا Proprioception را نشان میدهد؛ یعنی توانایی حس کردن موقعیت و حرکت بدن.
گیرندههای حسی موجود در عضلات، تاندونها و مفاصل، اطلاعاتی درباره موقعیت، حرکت و نیرو در اختیار سیستم عصبی قرار میدهند. سیستم عصبی این اطلاعات را در کنار اطلاعات بینایی و سیستم دهلیزی گوش داخلی پردازش میکند تا به هماهنگی حرکت، وضعیت بدن و تعادل کمک
