A recent study found that more than 75 percent of pregnant women experience pregnancy-related low back pain, pelvic pain, or a combination; and that this pain increases as pregnancy progresses.  

 

Chiropractic care is a safe, effective, and drug-free way to manage these and other musculoskeletal symptoms during pregnancy.

 

Normal biomechanical changes during this time can result in discomfort and pain during pregnancy and labor. These changes include weight gain, anterior shift in center of gravity, increased lumbar curve, and laxity of lumbopelvic ligaments; as well as postural changes and altered gait patterns.  Common issues treated are Low Back Pain, Sciatica, Pubic Symphysis Pain, Round Ligament Pain, and Headaches.
