Pregnancy Related Back & Pelvic Pain
Book an appointmentAre you suffering pregnancy back pain?
Many women experience back pain during pregnancy due to the extra and rapid change in weight over nine months. As the baby develops, the mother’s center of gravity often shifts forward which places stress on the muscles, ligaments and joints of the spine.
Another factor is the release of the hormone Relaxin which does just as the name suggests, relaxes the structures (joints, ligaments and muscles) of the body to prepare the woman’s body for the birthing process.
Post-natal chiropractic care has also been found to have beneficial effects for a return to normal activities through restoring spine and pelvic posture.
