Low back pain is a common problem during pregnancy and is usually caused when the ligaments or

 muscles supporting the vertebrae (spine) are strained.  When these muscles or ligaments become

weak, the spine loses its stability and back pain develops.  Early in the pregnancy the increased

hormonal levels lead to increased inflammation and sensitivity within the joints, as well as a variety of

 other locations. Additionally, complicating joint pain occurs because the ribs and pelvis begin to

expand and shift in order to accommodate the necessary room of the growing baby.  

Studies have demonstrated that Chiropractic care effectively reduces pain from low back pain

 during pregnancy, without adverse effects.  In fact, the International Chiropractic Pediatric

Association recommends that women receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy to establish

pelvic balance and optimize the room a baby has for development throughout pregnancy.  With a

balanced pelvis, babies have a greater chance of moving into the correct position for birth.

Chiropractic care is a DRUG-FREE, PAIN-FREE treatment for women during pregnancy.

ô 7 out 10 expecting mothers report low back pain relief after seeking chiropractic care.

ô Women who receive muscle work during pregnancy are less likely to have premature births. 

ô The average labor times can be reduced nearly 25% in patients receiving chiropractic care

versus the generally accepted average labor time.
