Pregnancy-Related Back Pain

Pregnant women respond really well to chiropractic care. Especially at the later stages of pregnancy when the ligaments are more lax due to hormones, the back becomes more susceptible to subluxation and therefore low back pain. Chiropractic adjustments and muscle work are completely safe. At all stages of pregnancy, we avoid the use of any electrical modalities like ultra sound and electric muscle stimulators. Chiropractic adjustments are very helpful especially during the birthing process and after. Regular chiropractic adjustments help in relaxing the pelvic area for the birthing process. Even after giving birth, regular chiropractic adjustments help in rehabilitating the pelvic area. The birthing process is very traumatic for both the child and the mother in a physical sense. The pubic symphisis can be subluxated and can lead to a chronic and more serious condition. This can be easily prevented by having the mother come in for a chiropractic check up and adjustment.  Click here for more information about pregnancy and back pain.

Some women experience pubic pain after delivery. Chiropractic adjustment may be helpful in re-aligning the pubic bones as well as the lumbo-pelvic region.
