Prenatal Chiropractic & Lower Back Pain

Did you know that suffering from lower back pain during pregnancy is a common occurrence? Before the mother's labor, the ligaments soften and stretch naturally. This causes strain around the pelvis and lower back, resulting in discomfort. When you realize you are pregnant, you may get caught up in the excitement and won't realize any aches and pains. However, as your pregnancy progresses, you may notice incredible changes in your body that come with pain, including lower back pain.

While lower back pain is common among pregnant mothers, it doesn't mean this should be the order of the day. Chiropractic care from a chiropractor on our team at Infinity Chiropractic and Rehab center, serving the regions of Freehold, NJ, and Farmingdale, NJ, can provide much desired relief from back pain.

Causes of Lower Back Pain in Pregnant Mothers

Wondering why lower back pain is common in pregnant women? Here are the reasons:

• Weight gain: It's estimated that pregnant mothers add about 25 and 35 pounds during pregnancy. The developing weight of the baby and the uterus exerts immense pressure on the nerves and blood vessels of the pelvis and the back, causing pain.
• Posture changes: Did you know that a pregnant mother's gravity shifts during pregnancy? Unnoticingly, a mother may gradually assume a reversed posture, culminating in lower back pain.
• Hormonal changes: During pregnancy, the mother's body allowes the pelvic ligaments to loosen to pave the way for delivery. The loss of elasticity of the pelvic muscles and joints may put pressure on the spine and pelvis.
• Stress: Emotional stress may cause your muscles to become, triggering back pain and other discomforts.
• Muscle separation: As the uterus expands during pregnancy, two parallel sheets of muscles extending from the pelvic bone to the pubic bone may separate, inducing lower back pain.
