Prenatal Chiropractor

The journey toward pregnancy and trying to conceive is a special period in a woman’s life. Motherhood is an extraordinary experience that does not compare with anything else.

However, for some expecting mothers, pregnancy can come with its challenges. It can be physically taxing, with nausea and back pain. So, how can expectant mothers treat lower back issues, safely relieve pain and stay in the best shape possible to deliver a healthy child?

This is when you need to visit a qualified prenatal chiropractor to fix lower back pain, sciatica, aches, and hip pain causing you physical discomfort. According to researchers, 50% of pregnant women will have to experience back and lower back pain at some point during their pregnancy.

What Can Cause Your Discomfort During Pregnancy?  

When you get pregnant, a natural shift occurs within your body to make room for the growing baby. Several hormonal and physiological changes take place in your body to help you adapt to the increased weight that comes from carrying a child. 

However, even with all these natural changes, discomfort and pain can make you feel weak and significantly reduce your quality of life. 50 percent of expectant mothers experience lower back pain as the baby grows. The increase in weight puts pressure on the sciatic nerve resulting in lower back and leg pain called sciatica.

Additionally, neck pain is also quite common during pregnancies due to the additional body weight and compensating forward head posture. You might also experience sore ligaments and joints as your body releases a relaxant hormone to stretch them to accommodate the baby. Additionally, as the baby grows, the maximum weight is put on the front with added stress on the spine. The increasing weight of baby growing in the womb often increases the back curve resulting in back pain and spinal nerve interference.
