Are You Glowing with Back Pain?

​75 percent of pregnant women experience pregnancy-related low back pain, pelvic pain, or a combination; this pain increases as pregnancy progresses. In an effort to avoid chemically treating your symptoms, why not manage them with an effective drugless alternative? With the unavoidable change in your center of gravity, this process increases your lumbar lordosis, resulting in musculoskeletal conditions. 

Typical Symptoms Include: 
1. Low Back Pain: due to increased anterior shift as your weight influences your center of gravity. This creates compensatory muscle tightness and altered gait patters.

2. Sciatic Nerve Pain: since your precious cargo contributes to uterine pressure on supporting vasculature or direct compression of the sciatic nerve.
​

3. Sacral Pain: as hormonal changes allow for ligament laxity, increased mobility, and joint separation from Relaxin. Pubis dysfunction can produce pain and unwanted symptoms during the birthing process. ​

Chiropractic care and patient education as part of a comprehensive prenatal care team has been shown to hold greater benefit for pregnant patients than traditional obstetric care alone.
If you are experiencing debilitating low back pain as a result of pregnancy, call or text (203) 842-8631 to receive the best evidence based treatments that effectively treat and prevent these pesky symptoms.  ​
