For a great many women, back trouble is simply part of being pregnant, and research suggests it affects the large majority. The pain can sit in the lower or upper back and sometimes radiate to the side, the thighs, the buttock or the pelvis. The growing belly, your changing posture and hormones that loosen the joint ligaments all place extra strain on your back during pregnancy.
Treatment can only start properly once it is clear what is behind the back trouble. That is why we take time to review your posture and to examine the pelvis for any signs of pelvic instability.
Adjusting posture during pregnancy
Poor posture can cause pelvic instability, fatigue and pain. That is why it is important to adjust posture when pregnancy complaints arise. Pelvic instability can be difficult to resolve fully, though chiropractic may help to ease the symptoms.
