A recent study shows that during the second and third trimester, as the mass of the baby moves in front of the woman, chiropractic care can help her low back pain.
This is especially important as most women want to avoid drugs or other analgesics.
Optimizing pain relief during pregnancy using manual therapy.
Question Many of my pregnant patients have muscle and joint aches, and are reluctant to use analgesics. What is known about chiropractic care during pregnancy? Answer As pregnant women move into their second and third trimesters, their centers of mass shift anteriorly, causing an increase in lumbar lordosis, which causes low back and pelvic girdle pain. Increasing recent evidence attests to the effectiveness and safety of treating this pain using manual therapy. Massage therapy and chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, are highly safe and effective evidence-based options for pregnant women suffering from mechanical low back and pelvic pain.
