Pregnancy can cause a number of symptoms that affect your daily life, such as lower back pain. If your pain is preventing you from taking part in your regular activities, you can visit our chiropractor, Dr. Tiffany Harris at First Choice Chiropractic for safe, non-invasive back pain treatment that doesn’t rely on the use of prescription medication. Chiropractic treatment can provide holistic relief from pregnancy-related low back pain in Glendale, AZ.

Reduce Stress on the Spine

Chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy are two completely natural, holistic ways to reduce stress on your spine during pregnancy. The extra stress on your spine can cause low back pain, neck pain, trouble walking, and even trouble sitting up or standing. Dr. Harris can gently ease your spine back into alignment with regular chiropractic adjustments. Massage therapy can reduce muscle pain and strain, ease tension, and improve mobility, all without the use of dangerous medications or invasive procedures. 

Improve Nutrition 

Dr. Harris has extensive education in nutrition and can help you develop a diet and nutrition plan that works for you throughout your pregnancy. The right diet, vitamins, and supplements can improve your immune system and reduce inflammation, which in turn can reduce back pain. Even better, this will improve your baby’s immune system as well.

Maintain Proper Alignment

Dr. Harris can use chiropractic adjustments to keep your spine in alignment so that you have less low back pain and also have an easier delivery. Regular chiropractic adjustments will ensure your spine is aligned through the hips and pelvis, preventing breech delivery. Dr. Harris can also recommend therapeutic exercises you can safely do at home to strengthen the muscles supporting your back so that you have greater support and less low back pain. She can also recommend meditative breathing techniques to help with overall pain management.
