If you are pregnant or have been before, you will know that pain in the back and hips can happen. You normally put on up to forty lbs during pregnancy and your spine is what supports the additional weight. Your growing baby in the uterus also puts pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in your pelvis and back, causing pain. Fortunately, you are allowed to get chiropractic care whilst pregnant.

A specially trained chiropractor has the right equipment, such as adjustable tables, as well as the right gentle techniques to help reduce unnecessary abdominal pressure.

Because of changes in the pelvis and posture, an increase in the curve of the back and protrusion of the abdomen, the pregnant woman's alignment and her balance are likely to be affected. There are benefits to visiting a chiropractor when expecting, such as relief for the neck and back, or relief of joint pain. There could also be relief of symptoms of nausea, and a reduced labor and delivery time.

Chiropractic care can optimize fetal positioning by reducing unnecessary stress on supporting ligaments and also the uterus. There is a special technique called the Webster Technique, which, when performed during a pregnant's woman's final trimester, has a success rate of over 80% in changing the baby's position if the woman had been experiencing a breech presentation.

By using this safe, drug free and non-invasive pain relief method, pregnant women will get pain relief in the neck, joints, and back, will gain more mobility and flexibility, and will benefit from improved sleep, less anxiety, and an improved mood. Chiropractic care can relieve pain from an increased back curvature, pelvic changes, posture changes, and back pressure that results from a protruding abdomen.

A chiropractor will help prevent pain in the lower back by keeping it in alignment with the pelvis. Misalignment could limit the baby's room and comfort, which is called intrauterine constraint. Chiropractic care is able to realign the body as necessary.

You should contact a Peabody chiropractic doctor as soon as possible to schedule your visit.
