Relief from Low Back Pain of Pregnancy in Texarkana

Back Pain is a problem for so many women during their pregnancy.

It’s a problem for up to 80% of all pregnant women experience low back pain.

Musculoskeletal symptoms such as lower back, pelvic, and hip pain are common complaints suffered by women during pregnancy.

Back, pelvic, and hip pain generally worsens as the pregnancy develops – by 33 weeks over 20% of women suffer daily pain arising from the pelvic SI joints that are often thought of as hip pain. (‘Chiropractic manipulative Skills’ D. Byfield, Fast et al: ‘LBP in Pregnancy’: Spine 1987)

Many other pregnant women also experience upper back pain/shoulder area pain, neck pain, and headaches.

What can you do to help your back pain during pregnancy?

Here are a few natural solutions that are likely to help you.

1. Exercise at a level appropriate for you and your pregnancy to strengthen the muscles that help support your body and the developing baby focusing on your neck, back and abdomen. Yoga or Pilates type exercises might be helpful.
2.  If you need to sit for prolonged periods at work – practice good posture by sitting upright, supporting your feet on the floor, and having your computer monitor set at the appropriate height.
3. Watch your diet trying to emphasize healthy foods. Excessive weight gain will put a lot of added stress on your spine during your pregnancy.
4. Get regular chiropractic care at our practice in order to improve musculoskeletal problems and stress on your body.
