Who needs chiropractic during pregnancy? YOU AND YOUR BABY!!
Low back pain, numbness in the fingers, shooting electrical pain in the legs… Many soon-to-be moms consider these and other symptoms to be normal, expected problems during pregnancy. While they are very common, you do not have to resign yourself to the fact that they will be a necessary part of pregnancy. The simple truth of the matter is that your body is going through a tremendous change in a relatively short period of time and either adapts to it, or pain results.
The average healthy weight gain during pregnancy is between 25-35 pounds. Any time someone increases in weight by that much, it would likely cause pain if the spine and pelvis were not functioning correctly. That is why so many of the pregnant moms in my practice start seeing me early in their pregnancy. By keeping that flexible pregnant body in alignment, baby has room to grow and mom stays happier and healthier through all 9 months, often avoiding complications such as breech presentation and unnecessary pain during their pregnancy.
