Why Pregnant Women Choose Chiropractic Care to Treat Discomfort

During pregnancy, your centre of gravity almost immediately begins to shift forward which increases the stress on your joints. 

As your little one grows in size, your weight is projected even farther forward and increases the curvature of your lower back, placing extra stress on your spine.

To compensate, tension and discomfort result in mid-upper back pain, neck and shoulder pain, an increased frequency of headaches, among many other complications.

I appreciate how she tailors her care to meet my specific needs as my body changes. Highly recommend!”

How Chiropractic Adjustments Provide Relief During Your Pregnancy

Many pregnant women have found that chiropractic adjustments provide relief from the increased lower back pain brought on by pregnancy, which affects nearly half of all expectant mothers. 

Doctors of Chiropractic can also offer nutrition, ergonomic, and exercise advice to help you enjoy a healthy and comfortable pregnancy.

This is especially true during the last trimester, when baby’s head presses down on your back, legs, and buttocks, causing sciatic nerve irritation. For women who already suffer from low-back pain, the problem can become even worse.

When to See A Prenatal Chiropractor Near You

Ideally, chiropractic care during pregnancy begins before your discomfort does. Whether you’re 8 weeks or 38 weeks, it’s never too late to benefit from prenatal chiropractic care.

  • First Trimester: Focuses on establishing pelvic balance and spinal alignment as your body begins its remarkable transformation
  • Second Trimester: Adjustments help manage increasing physical changes and growing discomfort in the lower back and pelvis
  • Third Trimester: Care shifts to optimizing pelvic alignment for labor preparation and potentially easier delivery.

Many women experience the greatest benefits when starting care in their first trimester, allowing us to address alignment issues before pregnancy hormones start affecting your ligaments and posture.

“I felt supported, understood, and safe every step of the way.”

“Their chiropractic care has supported me through many stages of life, but most notably, I was treated by Dr. Tara and her amazing team during both of my pregnancies. Her care was absolutely vital to my comfort and well-being throughout that time. Dr. Tara has a calming, gentle demeanor that is especially wonderful for babies and children—you can truly see her love for kids in the way she approaches each visit. Her passion for supporting women through pregnancy and motherhood shines through every interaction. I felt supported, understood, and safe every step of the way.”

Transition Seamlessly After Giving Birth

Did you know that chiropractic also helps after you’ve delivered? In the weeks following delivery, the ligaments that loosened during pregnancy begin to tighten up again.

Joint problems brought on during pregnancy should be treated before your ligaments return to their pre-pregnancy state — to prevent muscle tension, headaches, rib discomfort, and shoulder problems.
