Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

About half of all expectant mothers will develop musculoskeletal pain some time during their pregnancy. With the physiological effects of pregnancy and an average weight gain of 25 to 30 pounds, you will find your center of gravity shifting, muscles overstretching and ligaments loosening causing additional stress on your body. 

These changes lead to nerve compression syndromes, low back and pelvic pain, upper back and neck discomfort, fatigue, stress incontinence and extremity symptoms. Many women have found relief to their pains and have had easier deliveries by receiving chiropractic care throughout their pregnancy. Chiropractic care is also helpful after delivery as your body begins to tighten loosened ligaments. It is important to make sure your joints are aligned before your muscles return to their pre-pregnancy state.
