While you are excited to see your new baby, the last months before birth are often difficult. Lower back pain may make you consistently uncomfortable as your baby grows. At Carolina Chiropractic Wellness Group, we have been sharing the benefits of prenatal chiropractic care with residents of Hickory, NC for many years. Read on to learn more about how our chiropractor can help relieve your lower back pain along with other discomforts associated with pregnancy.

Pregnancy and Pain

The extra weight carried by a pregnant woman can cause the spine to curve. It throws your body off-kilter and causes issues as your back tries to overcompensate for the baby's weight. This, combined with pelvic changes as you begin to get ready to have the baby, can result in lower back pain. In one study, approximately 75% of women said they experienced lower back pain during pregnancy. In another study, 75% of the women reported feeling much better when regularly visiting a chiropractor during their pregnancy.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Many pregnant women turn to our prenatal chiropractor for lower back pain relief because it is natural and non-invasive. Rather than masking your pain with prescription medication or performing invasive surgery, our chiropractor aims to identify and address the root cause of your pain and immobility.

One another benefit of visiting a prenatal chiropractor is pelvic realignment. Realigning your pelvis as it shifts can ensure the most effective birth possible. Natural birth pregnancies are less likely to be breach when repositioning exercises are done during chiropractic care. You may also spend less time in labor, which is always a plus.
