Pregnancy brings on many physical, emotional, and hormonal changes, all of which can cause a great deal of discomfort during what should be a celebrated time in your life.
Common complaints in pregnancy like low back pain, sciatica, pubic bone pain, round ligament pain, and hip pain are commonly helped by prenatal chiropractic care and the Webster Technique.
During pregnancy, a woman’s body is undergoing a number of different changes to accommodate the growing baby.
As the baby grows, a mother's center of gravity shifts, increasing stress on the lower back and pelvic joints. This shift, combined with pregnancy-related weight gain, often deepens the natural curve of the lower back (lordotic curve), which can strain the vertebral joints, sacrum, and hips significantly.
Since the nerves that supply the rest of the body originate in the spine, any compression in the spine can irritate these nerves, leading to pain that radiates to other areas. Sciatica, a common condition during pregnancy, involves pain that begins in the lower back or hips and extends down one or both legs.
If you’ve had previous spinal misalignment or lower back issues, pregnancy often worsens these conditions. The misalignment may not naturally correct itself after pregnancy, making everyday tasks like carrying your baby, breastfeeding, and bending over to pick things up uncomfortably challenging. Chiropractic care can help restore balance and alleviate these discomforts, promoting a smoother postpartum recovery.
