Pain During Pregnancy: Common NOT Normal!
While pain during pregnancy is a common complaint, it's important to recognize that just because it is common, does not mean it is normal! Pain is the body telling us something is not functioning optimally. Low back, hip and pelvic pain, especially unilateral (one sided) tells us that there are likely imbalances present in the muscles, ligaments and/or joints of the pelvis. A balanced pelvis not only reduces pain in the pregnant body, but more importantly, prepares the body for an easier birth experience.
In our prenatal practice, we use specialized prenatal chiropractic techniques including the Webster Technique, along with Body Ready Method® and Spinning Babies assessments and tools. A balanced spine and pelvis enhance comfort of the pregnant mama, as well as create space favoring a positive birth experience. Pregnant people under specialized prenatal chiropractic care frequently report shorter, easier births with limited interventions. The feedback we received from pregnant mamas that we performed the Webster Technique, Body Ready Method and Spinning Babies Protocols on during pregnancy has been overwhelmingly positive.
