Brookline Chiropractic Care for Expecting Mothers

Explain some of the symptoms that expecting mothers deal with.

One of the most common symptoms of pregnancy is lower back, hip and leg pain. This is because, during pregnancy, certain hormones are released which tend to soften, or loosen, the pelvis ligaments (tissues connecting bone to bone) in preparation for delivery of the baby. Unfortunately, the softening/loosening of these ligaments tends to destabilize the spine, allowing subluxations (misalignments, loss of normal movement) to occur, which can be painful, because subluxations often result in pinched nerves and irritated joints.

How is chiropractic care helpful for expecting mothers?

Chiropractic care has generally been regarded as very helpful, both during and after pregnancy, in reducing lower back, hip and leg pain. What’s even better is that chiropractic care may also help to prevent the longer-term lower back pain that is sometimes experienced for months/years after having the baby.

Is chiropractic care safe for the baby?

Here’s the best part: our extremely gentle treatment is safe for both the baby and the the mom/mother-to-be.
