Why Lower Back Pain Occurs During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, your body will gain weight as your baby develops. Your center of gravity is likely to shift as the bulk of your weight will be located in your abdomen. This often causes women to change their stance when walking, leading to lower back pain. The weight of your baby may also push against your sciatic nerve, causing you discomfort in the back region of your body as well. 

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Many pregnant women find that obtaining chiropractic care during this time of their lives allows for relaxation rather than the stress of dealing with discomfort. In addition to pain relief treatments, chiropractic care during pregnancy can help with the reduction of labor time experienced when giving birth.

When the back curves due to misalignment of the spine and pelvic region, the baby will have less room in the body, giving it less chance to move around to a favorable position for delivery. Spinal adjustments help to realign the pelvis, giving the baby ample room to move around and get into position before birth begins. Therefore, the risk of a Cesarean section diminishes when routine chiropractic care is administered during pregnancy.

What You Can Expect During Your First Visit for Chiropractic Care

Our practitioner will ask you questions about the progression of your pregnancy and any discomfort you have been experiencing. If you had obtained treatment from your obstetrician or family doctor, be sure to mention it during this assessment so our practitioner does not duplicate efforts that did not work to your benefit. 

Our chiropractor will have you rest comfortably on an adjusting table so your abdomen is protected during your session. Spinal adjustments are administered using gentle movements and will in no way harm your baby or affect your pregnancy. Most women feel instant relief after a session.
