Pregnancy-Related Back and Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy-Related Back Pain:
At Castle Chiropractic, we provide safe and effective care for expectant mothers experiencing lower back pain due to the physical changes of pregnancy. We help alleviate discomfort through gentle spinal adjustments, posture correction, and tailored advice on exercises to support a healthy pregnancy.
Pelvic Girdle Pain:
Pregnancy can also lead to pelvic girdle pain, which is often caused by hormonal changes and increased pressure on the pelvic joints. Our chiropractors provide specialised care to realign the pelvis and relieve discomfort, ensuring expectant mothers remain comfortable throughout their pregnancy.
Symptoms of Pregnancy-Related Back and Pelvic Pain can be:
Lower Back Pain:
Dull, aching pain in the lower back that may feel sharp or intense, especially when bending, lifting, or sitting for long periods.
Pelvic Pressure:
A sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, often increasing as the pregnancy progresses and the baby grows.
Radiating Pain:
Discomfort that may radiate down the legs or into the hips, causing additional discomfort and potentially affecting mobility.
Muscle Spasms:
Sudden, involuntary contractions of the lower back or pelvic muscles, which can cause significant discomfort and restrict movement.
