Pregnancy Related Back Pain

Pregnancy often brings about significant changes to a woman's body, including shifts in weight distribution, hormonal changes, and increased stress on the musculoskeletal system. One common issue many pregnant women face is back pain, which can occur due to the strain placed on the spine and pelvis as the body adapts to accommodate the growing baby. Chiropractic care offers a safe and effective approach to managing pregnancy-related back pain by addressing spinal misalignments, reducing muscle tension, and promoting overall spinal health.

Symptoms:

• Low back pain, particularly in the lumbar spine region
• Pelvic pain or discomfort, often exacerbated by movement or prolonged standing
• Sciatic nerve pain, characterized by shooting pain or numbness that radiates down the leg
• Muscle tension or stiffness in the back, hips, or pelvis
• Difficulty with mobility or performing daily activities
