🤰 "It's just part of pregnancy" - NOPE!
Let's talk about that shooting pain down your leg or nagging lower back discomfort that's making daily life challenging!
Pregnancy-related sciatica affects many expecting moms, but here's the truth: you DON'T have to "just deal with it."
This discomfort can happen when:
1️⃣ Your growing belly shifts your center of gravity
2️⃣ Pregnancy hormones relax your ligaments (specifically a hormone literally called "relaxin"!)
3️⃣ Your baby puts pressure on your sciatic nerve
4️⃣ Your pelvis becomes misaligned during pregnancy
What you might experience:
👶 Sharp, shooting pain down your legs
👶 Numbness or tingling in your lower back, hips, or legs
👶 Difficulty with daily activities
The good news? Dr. Lydia has hours and hours of extra training in a specific, gentle, and safe prenatal chiropractic adjustment style (the Webster Technique) that can help balance your pelvis and reduce nerve irritation, allowing your body to adapt better to these pregnancy changes.
We focus on working with your body's natural ability to adapt during pregnancy rather than just masking symptoms.
Many moms in our practice report marked improvement in their symptoms after being under regular care!
Remember: Pregnancy is a journey of transformation, but it doesn't have to be a journey of unnecessary discomfort. 💕
