Pregnancy can bring about significant changes in a woman’s body, and chiropractic care offers relief for many common discomforts. In this vlog post, we’ll walk you through the therapeutic techniques we use at Sams Chiropractic to help pregnant mothers alleviate pain, tension, and discomfort, especially in the back, pelvis, and hips. With a specialized chiropractic table designed to accommodate the growing belly, we can provide safe and effective treatments tailored for each stage of pregnancy.
Supporting the Lower Back and Pelvis
One of the key challenges during pregnancy is the pressure placed on the lower back and pelvis. At Sams Chiropractic, we utilize a specialized chiropractic table that enables us to work on the lower back and pelvis while the mother remains in a comfortable, relaxed position. We perform a thorough scan to assess the tone and movement of the spine, which helps us identify any misalignments or dysfunctions. For instance, we use leg length tests to check for pelvic imbalances and address any tightness in the muscles, ensuring that the pelvis is properly aligned and supported.
Addressing Hip and Upper Back Tension
Many pregnant women experience tension in their hips and upper back, often due to posture changes and additional strain. With gentle therapy techniques, we work on relieving this discomfort, focusing on the hips, which can become remarkably tight. We also use vibration tools to loosen up the muscles before making spinal adjustments. By ensuring the muscles are relaxed, we help achieve more effective adjustments and provide longer-lasting relief for conditions like muscle tightness or restricted movement in the upper back.
Focused Stretching and Lower Back Relief
At Sams Chiropractic, we also incorporate focused stretching techniques to help relieve pressure in the lower back, which is common during pregnancy. These stretches target specific areas of the lumbar spine to create space between the discs and alleviate compression. This process prepares the body for the physical demands of childbirth while also enhancing mobility and comfort. This treatment is especially beneficial in the later stages of pregnancy when the body’s changes are most pronounced.
Chiropractic therapy can provide immense relief for pregnant women experiencing back, pelvic, and hip discomfort. Through customized treatments that include gentle adjustments, muscle relaxation, and targeted stretching, Sams Chiropractic helps expectant mothers find comfort and maintain proper posture throughout their pregnancy.
