During pregnancy, a woman’s body changes in extraordinary ways to grow another human being. Among the largest of these changes includes additional tension being placed on the mother’s spine, and as a result, her nervous system. Is chiropractic care during pregnancy safe? Yes, it is! Through chiropractic therapy, we can help release the strain by returning her spine to its proper alignment. Doing this can not only make the journey of pregnancy a more comfortable and enjoyable one, but it also keeps the mother and baby in good health.
How can chiropractic therapy help with sciatic nerve pain (sciatica)?
Your sciatic nerve exits from the lower part of your back (lumbar) through your thigh. As your pregnancy progresses, more weight will be added to your pelvis and your hips. This may cause you to feel pain throughout your buttocks, down through your thigh, and into your foot. This is your sciatic nerve reacting to the baby’s weight and the transformation your body is undergoing. Regardless of whether the pain is dull and numbing, or it’s sharp and shoots down through your leg when you stand or walk, it is uncomfortable, and Be Well Lifestyle Centers can help you get pain relief.
