Body Changes From Pregnancy
Over the course of 9 months, pregnancy stretches your abs and certain ligaments, and it changes your centre of gravity, affecting how you walk, sit, sleep, and move.
This often causes pressure and tension in the joints and muscles of the low back. On top of that, pregnancy pain can also cause other symptoms such as pain at the front of the pelvis (pubic symphysis pain), leg discomfort and sciatica (pain down the leg).
Chiropractic Care and Your Pregnancy
Chiropractic treatment is aimed at encouraging good function of the pelvis and spine during pregnancy. Treatment often involves chiropractic adjustments, stretches specially for the tight muscles at the front of the pelvis and hamstrings, as well as safe exercises and advice to manage the changes that you are going through during the 9 months.
What About Post Natal Pregnancy Care?
Many of our patients commonly seek Chiropractic to manage the sudden changes of the pelvis and spine after birth. Also, some patients often feel a new developed tension that develops due changed demands of holding newborns for extended periods of time. Therefore it is common during this period that many patients may also feel soreness in their neck, shoulders and mid back.
Postnatal care options may be an option for you. We can discuss what these may be with you.
