Pregnancy is a very exciting time
Unfortunately, during pregnancy, Low Back Pain is very common. And with pain medication not a valid option, many women turn to Chiropractic as a drug free, safe and effective method to combat the discomfort that often accompanies pregnancy.
Chiropractic Care during the Pre Natal phase is where a lot of expectant mothers find relief from discomfort and the empowerment that comes with regaining control over their body.
As the Pre Natal female body changes, the physical stress may cause pain. The most common pain is Pelvic Pain. The Sacroiliac Joints and the Pubic Synthesis go through functional and structural changes. The rigidity of the joints change as more progesterone is produced. Progesterone has the effect of creating more flexibility in the ligaments and joints.
Other structural changes are to the posture. An increase in Lumbar Lordosis or sway-back is one change as the body adjusts to combat gravity. An unfortunate side effect of this change is again discomfort.
