Ways In Which A Peabody Chiropractor Can Help Pregnancy Back And Hip Pain

By Jamie Muck


It's no secret to women that during pregnancy hip and back pain may occur. A woman frequently gains 25-35 pounds during pregnancy, and her spine must support that extra weight. The growing baby's weight in the uterus puts pressure on nerves and blood vessels in the back and pelvis, causing hip and back pain. The good news is that there's no certified contraindications to having chiropractic care during pregnancy.

A specially trained chiropractor has the right equipment, such as adjustable tables, as well as the right gentle techniques to help reduce unnecessary abdominal pressure.

Because of pelvic changes, posture adaptations, an increased back curve and protruding abdomen, a woman's alignment and pelvic balance may be affected during pregnancy. Some potential benefits to pregnant women of seeing a chiropractor during her pregnancy include the relief of neck, back, or joint pain, possible control of nausea symptoms, and the possibility of reducing labor time and delivery.

One of the most important things a chiropractor can do is reduce stress on key ligaments and also the uterus, which has the effect of optimizing fetal positioning. Using the Webster Technique in an expectant mother's eighth month has shown an 82 percent success rate in being able to turn the baby if it has been presenting breech.

This method is not only non-invasive, it is drug-free and entirely safe. It provides ample pain relief to the joints, neck and back, allowing you to have more flexibility and also mobility. You will get better sleep and generally feel better, with less anxiety. Seeing a chiropractor can help give you relief from all the body changes that occur during pregnancy as a result of a protruding abdomen.

A Peabody chiropractic doctor can help to prevent lower back pain by keeping the lower back and pelvis aligned and well balanced. A misaligned pelvis may limit the room that the baby enjoys in the womb, also known as intrauterine constraint. Chiropractic care can restore alignment to a pregnant woman's body.
