Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: Safe Relief for Back and Hip Pain
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: Safe Relief for Back and Hip Pain
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also comes with challenges—especially for your body. As your baby grows, so does the pressure on your spine, hips, and pelvis. Many mums-to-be experience back pain, hip discomfort, or even sciatica during pregnancy.
The good news? Chiropractic care offers a safe, natural way to relieve these pains and support your body as it changes.
Why Pregnancy Causes Back and Hip Pain
During pregnancy, several changes put extra stress on your body:
Hormones like relaxing loosen ligaments, making joints less stable.
Weight shifts as your baby grows, pulling your posture forward.
Pelvic changes prepare your body for birth, often leading to pain in the hips or lower back.
Posture strain from sitting, standing, or sleeping positions.
These changes can lead to lower back pain, sciatica, hip pain, and even trouble sleeping.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes! Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor. At The Back and Body Clinic, we use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility. Special tables and supportive pillows ensure comfort at every stage.
