Chiropractic Care For Lower Back And Pelvic Girdle Pain In Pregnancy

Lower back/pelvic pain is one of the most common conditions experienced by pregnant women, with studies showing up to 50% of all pregnant women will suffer with some kind of lower back pain, and up to 40% of these women will continue to suffer at least 18 months post-partum. Many women find these conditions incredibly limiting in their day to day lives.

Thankfully, there are many options available to help ease these pains and minimise your risk of developing these conditions in the future.

- Keeping up regular exercise.

- Reducing the amount of time you spend sitting or standing still.

- Prescribed exercises and stretches under the guidance of a health professional.

- Heat packs and ice packs.

- Find a team of health professionals who will work with you and your goals.

At Anderson Family Chiropractic Health Centre, our Chiropractors have further training and a specific understanding of the needs of pregnant people, and we use a combination of gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercise and orthopaedic/at home care to help keep you functioning at your peak throughout every stage of preconception, pregnancy and postpartum.
