Easing Pregnancy-Related Back Pain with Chiropractic Care

Back pain during pregnancy is a common complaint. It can be tough to cope with and makes everyday tasks impossible. That's why it's important to seek help as soon as possible. Chiropractic can relieve back pain, and it can do so quickly and effectively. In this article, we'll discuss the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy and offer advice on finding the right chiropractor for you.

Why Does Pregnancy Cause Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy. Many women experience it because their bodies change so much, and their muscles and joints stretch to their limits.

Back pain during pregnancy can result from several factors, but the main one is usually sciatica. Sciatica is typically caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, which runs down the back of your thigh. This pressure can cause intense pain in your lower back, buttocks, and feet.

ChiroHer Chiropractic believes chiropractic care can help relieve this pain by adjusting the spine and other related areas. By doing this, we can help reduce the inflammation and irritation that are often associated with back pain during pregnancy. In addition, regular chiropractic care may also help improve your overall balance and mobility, which can also help alleviate some of the symptoms of sciatica.

How Chiropractic Helps Alleviate Back Pain During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women who are dealing with back pain. Chiropractic care is based on the theory that the body is composed of three interconnected parts: the head, the neck, and the spine. When these parts are out of alignment, it can lead to various health problems. Some of these issues include:

  • Posture changes

  • Changes in pelvic balance

  • Increased back curvature

  • A protruding abdomen, increasing pressure on your back

Chiropractic care can help to realign these parts and alleviate pain in the neck, spine, and hips. In addition, chiropractors use various techniques to help relieve back pain during pregnancy. One such technique is spinal adjustments, which involves manipulating specific areas within the spine. 

Overall, chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to treat back pain during pregnancy. It can help improve both your physical and emotional well-being. If you're thinking about using chiropractic care during your pregnancy, don't hesitate to speak with your doctor about it.

Why Is It So Difficult to Treat Pregnancy Low Back Pain?

Back pain during pregnancy is a common problem and can be very difficult to treat. This is because pregnant women are typically more curved than usual, which puts increased strain on their back muscles and spine. Additionally, their weight increases by up to 25 pounds (11 kilograms), which can add to the pressure on their back.

Chiropractic care can help alleviate back pain during pregnancy by restoring balance and coordination in the spine. It does this by adjusting the spine using gentle chiropractic adjustments and massage. In addition, Chiropractic care can improve blood flow and circulation in the area, which reduces inflammation and pain.

Additionally, any medications taken can end up in the placenta, providing the baby with it. Natural pain control is the recommended approach.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care?

Having routine chiropractic care during pregnancy not only provides a safe and non-invasive approach to pain relief, women often benefit in various other ways, including:

  • Lower anxiety and better mood

  • A more enjoyable, healthier pregnancy

  • Quicker labor and easier delivery

  • Improved mobility

  • Less nausea and morning sickness

  • More flexibility

  • Better sleep

  • Sometimes avoid cesarean delivery

  • Pain relief of neck, joints, and back

  • Faster recovery time

If you are pregnant and suffering from back pain, consider seeking chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is safe for pregnant women and can offer many benefits, including improved alignment, reduced inflammation, and increased circulation. Be sure to speak with your doctor before making an appointment with a chiropractor to ensure that it is the right choice for you.
