During pregnancy a woman’s body goes through significant physical and hormonal
changes culminating in the birth process. Throughout the pregnancy, these adaptations in
your body, while beneficial to the baby and your pregnancy, can put stress on your spine,
musculature and nervous system. Neck and upper back pain, headaches, mid back pain,
lower back and leg pain (sciatica) are all common during pregnancy.
As your body changes, chiropractic adjustments can help to decrees the pain and
discomfort while optimizing body function to help achieve the best outcome. Studies
have shown that women under chiropractic care during and after pregnancy have less
discomfort and use less pain medication. Chiropractic care is safe to receive throughout
your pregnancy. It can also help after the delivery to alleviate the physical toll of infant
care and help your body recover more quickly.
