Chiropractic care for discomfort during pregnancy
During pregnancy hormones level rise and the ligaments between the joints become lax. This is in preparation of delivery but can cause painful conditions for mom. Typically mothers-to-be experience low back pain. This is due largely to:
- altered body mechanics from increased weight in the front
- general weight increase
- increasing laxity in the ligaments that allows the joints to move out of alignment easily. This allows for easier misalignment in the pelvis and lumbar spine (and other joints as well.)
Gentle chiropractic adjustment during this time can greatly ease the discomfort of pregnancy. Dr. Caplan has a chiropractic table with a mid-section that can be removed, allowing the pregnant patient to lie flat very comfortably.
