While expecting a baby is an exciting time, it also brings many changes to your body. Back, pelvic, postural, weight, and hormonal changes force the body to adapt, often resulting in unwanted pain and discomfort. In fact, during pregnancy, more than 68% of women experience low back pain, and post-delivery, another 65% report experiencing pelvic pain.
Subluxations of the spine, commonly known as joint dysfunctions, occur when two or more vertebrae become restricted, impeding the body’s ability to communicate with itself. These joint dysfunctions during pregnancy can be caused by the changes taking place in your body as it prepares you to support your new bundle of joy.
Chiropractors are trained to locate and correct joint dysfunctions by applying a gentle, targeted movement to the body’s spinal column and extremities—where and when needed—restoring proper joint function and improving nerve communication throughout the body. This non-invasive technique is commonly known as chiropractic adjustment.

- And more!
