How can chiropractic care alleviate back pain during pregnancy?

Throughout pregnancy, there will be many physiological and hormonal changes as your body prepares for the birth of a baby. You may experience extra strain through the lumbar spinal vertebra, or an aggravated mid spine from a growing baby that causes the lower rib cage to expand. Upper thoracic strain due to increased breast size is a common problem, along with pelvic subluxation (misalignment) which alters the pelvic opening.

Chiropractic can help you better manage these changes through the detection, prevention, and correction of fetal malposition. It can also relieve back ache or pelvic discomfort, as well as improve pelvic alignment and reduce labour times.
