BACK PAIN DURING PREGNANCY

One of the most common complaints of pregnant women is lower back pain. In fact, half of all expectant mothers suffer from it. Our chiropractic treatments can offer relief from this discomfort, as well as joint pain associated with pregnancy — they may also shorten your time in labor.

Pregnant mamas, are you dealing with that all-too-common pregnancy backache?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s talk about why it happens and how prenatal chiropractic care can help ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As your little one grows, your body undergoes A LOT of changes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your center of gravity shifts forward, causing your lower back to curve more than usual. This extra curve (what we call hyperlordosis) puts strain on your spinal joints and muscles, leading to that persistent back ache.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, your body is producing relaxin, a hormone that softens and loosens muscles and ligaments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💛 This is obviously by design and helpful to accommodate a growing belly and labor/delivery, but it can lead to pain well before you’re baby bump is even showing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where the Webster Technique comes into play! This specialized approach was developed specifically for pregnant women and focuses on:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤰🏼 Balancing the pelvis by gently adjusting the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of your spine)
🤰🏼 Reducing tension in the round ligaments that support your uterus
🤰🏼 Decreasing stress on the uterosacral ligaments that connect your uterus to your sacrum
🤰🏼 Restoring proper alignment and movement to your pelvic joints
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These gentle, precise adjustments help maintain optimal pelvic alignment throughout your pregnancy, reducing nerve pressure and allowing your baby more room to grow and move.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hurray for nixing the pregnancy back pain that you’re so often told to “just deal with”!
