Many women suffer from musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy. Low back pain is most common with 50-80% of women reporting back pain during pregnancy. During this time, there are changes in biomechanics and weight distribution of the body, as well as hormonal changes which can create laxity in the ligaments and connective tissue. This can lead to low back, hip and pubic pain due to altered posture, biomechanics and the decreased joint stability due to the loosening of joints.
Women often report pain and discomfort including: neck pain, upper and lower back pain, pelvic pain and pressure, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain Tenosynovitis and general fatigue.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help relieve strains on the body and help to repair for childbirth, and ease with the recovery afterwards. It is an extremely safe, gentle and effective treatment for both mom and baby!
