Pregnancy Chiropractic
Treating Pregnancy-Related Discomfort
Pregnancy brings about significant physical changes that can lead to discomfort and pain, particularly in the back, pelvis, and sciatic areas. As a chiropractor in Coalville with 17 years of experience, I specialise in pregnancy chiropractic treatments that are both safe and gentle. My aim is to ease discomfort, improve mobility, and support optimal pelvic joint function during this transformative time. Embracing a drug-free, personalised approach, chiropractic treatments can also aid in preparing for labour. If you're looking to feel better throughout your pregnancy, book your chiropractic appointment today.
Pregnancy-Related Conditions & Chiropractic
Common Pregnancy-Related Conditions
Pregnancy can lead to various conditions that may impact your health and wellbeing. Here are some common issues I often treat:
- Lower Back Pain: This is a prevalent complaint as the body adjusts to the growing belly, leading to increased strain on the back.
- Pelvic Pain and Instability: Hormonal changes can loosen ligaments, resulting in instability and discomfort.
- Sciatica: Nerve pain that radiates down the leg can be exacerbated by the weight of the growing uterus.
- Round Ligament Pain: Sharp abdominal pain can occur as the ligaments stretch to accommodate the baby.
- Postural Changes: As the belly grows, posture changes, often leading to discomfort and muscle strain.
- Swelling or Discomfort in the Hips and Pelvis: Increased weight and shifting body dynamics can cause swelling and discomfort.
