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.

 

How Chiropractic Can Help During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can provide relief and support in numerous ways:

  • Alleviates Back, Neck, and Pelvic Pain: Targeted chiropractic adjustments can relieve discomfort in these areas, allowing for a more enjoyable pregnancy.
  • Supports Proper Movement and Joint Function: Keeping your joints functioning properly helps maintain mobility and reduces the risk of injury.
  • Reduces Nerve Irritation: Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate nerve irritation, reducing pain and discomfort.
  • Eases Muscle Tension in the Lower Back and Pelvis: Gentle techniques help relax tight muscles, promoting overall comfort.
  • Promotes a More Comfortable Pregnancy Overall: By addressing these common issues, chiropractic care may enhance your overall pregnancy experience.
