We’re talking about low back pain, both lumbar back pain and posterior pelvic pain. An estimated 50% to 80% of women experience low back pain the last trimester of their pregnancy stage. This pain should not be ignored.[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” top_margin=”10″ bottom_margin=”10″ /][fusion_text]
Many of the traditionally prescribed medical treatments, such as drugs, steroid injections, or surgery procedures, may pose unfavorable effects to the present condition as well as to the fetus.

So, how can expectant mothers with severe low back pain combat this problem?

Chiropractic care is the perfect solution recommended by researchers who studied its beneficial effects.

According to a study published in the Journal of Midwifery and Women’s Health, chiropractic treatment, including spinal manipulation, is safe and effective for reducing lower back pain intensity in pregnant women:

94% of the pregnant women demonstrated significant improvement in their lower back pain.

So what is the role of a chiropractor in a woman’s prenatal and postnatal care? Here we answer some of the frequently asked questions relating to the chiropractic approach to maternity pain.

The foremost advantage of seeking the professional help of a chiropractor during pregnancy is to improve the expectant mother’s pelvic balance and alignment. Is this possible? The chiropractor suggests a series of routine exercises that are focused on stretching and manipulating the pelvic area to make room for the growing baby inside the womb.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]Lessen the chances of having a breech baby because undergoing chiropractic care assures a higher percentage that the baby will move in a correct position before birth.[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item icon=””]
Guarantee easy labor and a safe delivery because the proper positioning of the baby is already achieved once the expectant mother applies the correct techniques to improve pelvic balance and alignment.

After giving birth, regardless the nature of birth (either normal delivery or C-section), the pelvic area changes, sometimes making a simple task like walking, nursing the baby, bottle feeding, or even sleeping unbearable due to some level of pain or discomfort.

With the help of a chiropractor, restoration of the woman’s pelvic balance can be achieved through a series of exercises, manipulation, and stretching. Another great benefit of undergoing chiropractic treatment after pregnancy is the mobilization of the woman’s thoracic region which is affected due to various positions while doing motherly duties like breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or rocking the baby.

Before you seek the help of a chiropractor, it would be best to confirm with your insurance company whether this type of treatment is covered or not. Also, ask your chiropractor if they have special programs for pregnant women and make sure they have adequate facilities to accommodate expectant moms, such as the appropriate tables.
