You're having a baby. But maybe you're not feeling that picture-perfect bliss that you see all over social media. You're not alone. Your body goes through so many changes during pregnancy. Here are just a few of them. Help is not far away! Looking for ways to alleviate your back pain during pregnancy? When the pelvis or vertebrae become misaligned, tremendous pressure is put on the nerves as they exit the spine. This can cause back pain and radiating leg pain, known as sciatica.
Because it affects the leg, some women notice difficulty walking or standing. Common methods that most soon-to-be moms try are stretching, yoga and massage. All of these are tremendously beneficial.
Chiropractic is effective for lower back pain during pregnancy. A chiropractor trained specifically to evaluate pregnant women, such as Dr. Kristen Giles can help you. She has specific training with the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association as a Fellowship and over 20 years of chiropractic practice. And as a mother who has had two natural childbirths of her own, she has tremendous personal experience in this area.
Giles evaluates the spinal alignment looking for any causes of nerve irritation or subluxation. Subluxation has many causes, but regardless, removing the nerve irritation is the only solution for relief. For many moms, Giles Family Chiropractic has made pregnancy more enjoyable and comfortable.
You're counting down the days and weeks until you meet your wonderful baby. But now you've been told that your baby's positioning is not optimal? Baby positioning is the most common reason that I see pregnant moms. Perfect pelvic alignment with proper spinal alignment and nerve supply! Kristen can evaluate the positioning of your pelvis and spine to look for any subluxations, which is an imbalance or misalignment.
