Pregnancy-related back pain can be multifactorial. Lower back pain, wrist pain and leg cramps are the most commonly reported complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average healthy weight gain is around 30 pounds, lodged mostly around the abdomen, which adds considerable front load. This increased weight puts pressure on the back, hips, knees, feet and ankles It can affect posture and biomechanical structures due to changes in how you sleep, stand and move during pregnancy. As pregnancy progresses and the uterus expands, the abdominal muscles stretch and lose their usual support capacity. The change in posture, leaning forward, can cause pain and discomfort, especially in the lumbar region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the third trimester, the increase of the \u2018relaxin\u2019 hormone contributes to the relaxation of the joints in order to allow the necessary growth of the uterus and the baby in the pelvis, as well as childbirth. However, this relaxation can lead to joint instability and altered posture. Other structures, including the musculature, can be affected and predispose someone to pain and injury. This is how back pain can occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Pains and discomforts that can affect pregnant women and that can be addressed in chiropractic:<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Neck pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lower back pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thoracic pain (middle back)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pelvic pain and pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pain in legs and buttocks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Peripheral swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sciatica or stitches along the leg or foot<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fatigue and loss of energy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nocturnal muscle spasms<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Syndrome du canal carpien<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> De Quervain&#8217;s tenosynovitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Disturbed sleep<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have shown that manual therapy, including chiropractic, can relieve the pain inherent in pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Chiropractors provide safe, effective, drug-free conservative treatment aimed at relieving pain and restoring function during pregnancy and after childbirth.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Chiropractic at the service of pregnant women <\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relief of back and pelvic pain:<br \/>\n<\/span> Conservative care, including spinal manipulation and joint and soft tissue mobilization, can help reduce pain and improve body function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced fatigue and muscle pain:<br \/>\n<\/span> The chiropractic treatment plan may include soft tissue therapy and various techniques, such as transcutaneous neurostimulation, interferential (IFC), and others.
