Symptoms & Causes of back pain while pregnant?
Back pain is the most common reason why we see women during pregnancy. It can start at any stage of pregnancy but it is normally in the second trimester when the demands on the body increase due to the changes in weight and posture. Most women will feel a dull ache across their lower back or pelvis and this can sometimes refer out into the buttock muscles or hips as the pelvis starts to loosen and widen. Women may also feel a sharp pain in the front of their pelvis, around their pubic bone. This is more than likely due to pubic symphysis dysfunction and can be quite common during pregnancy.
When do I know if I should see a chiropractor while pregnant?
If you are experiencing any discomfort whilst walking or sleeping, we recommend you start to see a chiropractor, as unfortunately, these symptoms commonly intensify as your pregnancy progresses. Additionally, to relieving care our aim is to optimise the alignment of your pelvis and sacrum, your body is therefore balanced to allow your baby to get into the best possible position for birth. This is why we recommend Chiropractic to all women during pregnancy.
Chiropractors accurately locate the specific joints that need to be adjusted. This restores the brain-body connection, allowing the body to heal, get rid of your pain and relax your muscles.
