Pregnancy is a time of incredible change, and while it’s a beautiful journey, it can also bring its share of aches and pains. Pelvic pain, in particular, is something many expectant mums experience.
It’s often dismissed as a ‘normal’ part of pregnancy, but just because it’s common doesn’t mean you have to simply put up with it.
At Copa Chiropractic, supportive chiropractic care offers a gentle and effective way to manage sciatica by getting to the root of the problem. to help your body adapt to the demands of pregnancy, making the experience as comfortable as possible.
During pregnancy, your body goes through a remarkable transformation to prepare for your baby’s arrival. The hormone relaxin is released to soften your ligaments, allowing the pelvis to expand for birth.
While this is essential, it can also lead to instability in the pelvic joints, particularly the sacroiliac (SI) joints. As your baby grows and your centre of gravity shifts forward, this adds extra strain to your pelvis and lower back, which can result in significant discomfort and pain.
The primary goal of chiropractic care during pregnancy is to ensure your pelvis is balanced and moving correctly. When the pelvic bones are misaligned, it can create uneven tension on the surrounding muscles and ligaments.
This imbalance is a common cause of pelvic pain and can also contribute to other issues like sciatica and lower back pain. Using gentle and specific adjustments, we can help restore proper alignment to your pelvis.
This reduces the strain on your joints and ligaments, which not only eases pain but also helps your body function at its best.
A well-aligned pelvis does more than just make you more comfortable; it creates the best possible environment for your baby. When your pelvis is balanced, it allows for optimal space, helping your baby get into the best possible position for birth.
Research has shown that women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy can experience more straightforward labour. By ensuring your pelvis is functioning correctly, we can help support a more comfortable pregnancy and prepare your body for a smoother birthing process.
