Is Tylenol (acetaminophen) safe for pregnant women with pain? 

The best answer is maybe or maybe not.

According to a 2014 study in the Journal of Pediatrics…

Use of Tylenol during pregnancy was associated with increased risk of ADHD in the yet to be born baby.

The greater the use, the greater the risk of ADHD.

The question is what should a pregnant woman do to ease the pain that is so common during pregnancy?

Another 2014 study provides an excellent solution to pregnancy pain – Chiropractic care.

Here's what this 2nd study found:

Most pregnant patients undergoing chiropractic treatment reported clinically relevant improvement at all time points.

How many pregnant women reported improvement in their pain with Chiropractic Care?

52% at 1 week, 70% at 1 month, 85% at 3 months, 90% at 6 months and 88% at 1 year.
