PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC AND LOWER BACK PAIN

Unfortunately, lower back pain and pregnancy tend to go hand-in-hand. Studies show that about 50% to 70% of pregnant women complain of back pain at some point in their pregnancy. While pregnancy is an exciting time in a person’s life, pregnancy-related symptoms can wreak havoc on your overall health. Thankfully, Pinnacle Chiropractic, can help you enjoy a smooth pregnancy journey from start to finish.

What Are the Causes of Back Pain During Pregnancy?

When you are pregnant, your body undergoes numerous physical and physiological changes. The common issues that are culprits for lower back pain during pregnancy include:

• poor posture

• weight gain

• poor position of the baby

• changes in the center of gravity

• changes in the joints and ligaments as your body prepares to birth

• stress and exhaustion

Gentle prenatal chiropractic care aligns your spinal joints, removing restrictions that inhibit the performance of your nervous system. When interference on the spinal nerves is removed, your body experiences improved body function coordination.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Prenatal chiropractors are specially trained to take the utmost care of the mother and the baby. Ultimately, prenatal chiropractic care is safe and generates the below benefits:

• promotes smooth delivery

• reduces back pain and other aches

• minimizes nausea, vomiting, and other pregnancy-related symptoms

• boosts the immune system

• improves quality of sleep

• relaxes the mind, reducing tension

• prevents the occurrence of injuries

Chiropractic care isn't just beneficial to the mother—the baby is a beneficiary, too. Properly aligned pelvic and hip joints lead to smoother labor and delivery. Also, a well-balanced pelvis reduces the baby's chances of moving into a breech position.
