Pregnancy creates many changes in a woman's body, many of which cause pain and discomfort. During your pregnancy, your weight will change and the way you carry that weight will vary. Pain and discomfort in your back and legs are common.
At
Stitt Chiropractic, we provide specialized care during your pregnancy. We can help you improve your posture, learn stretches, and use other techniques to alleviate pain. To request a free consultation, please call us or use our online form. Understanding your spine is our key to helping you. Your spine is composed of two dozen vertebrae that support your body and protect your central nervous system. It enables your body to move, bend, and twist.
When pregnancy places additional weight in your abdomen, it causes stress on your spine. Changes in your posture and rotations of your pelvis can place additional stress on your spine. The stress turns into pain as the changes in your body negatively affect joint function and nerve communication.
In some cases, you may develop a subluxation of your spine or joint dysfunctions. Two or more of your vertebrae can become restricted, and that impedes your body's ability to communicate with itself.
When you visit our practice, our chiropractor will work with you to locate and correct joint dysfunction and spinal subluxation. You'll also learn better ways to sit and stand that can help reduce your discomfort.
