Pregnancy brings structural, hormonal, and emotional changes all at once. As your body makes room for a growing baby, the spine and pelvis are under constant, shifting pressure. Upper and lower back pain are common, along with round ligament pain, pubic bone discomfort, pelvic tension, and tailbone soreness. Each trimester adds new demands, and discomfort can build as pregnancy progresses.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care is commonly used to promote comfort during pregnancy. At Barrhaven Family Chiropractic, Dr. Majida uses gentle, low-force techniques appropriate for each stage.
Webster Technique focuses on reducing tension in the pelvis and surrounding structures. Care recommendations are based on a thorough assessment, ensuring they are tailored to your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Lifestyle Tips That Make a Difference
A few simple habits can help reduce strain between visits. Try swapping the couch for an exercise ball, sleeping on your left side with a pillow between your knees and ankles, one under your belly, and one behind your back. Avoiding crossed legs may also help reduce unnecessary strain on the pelvis and surrounding ligaments.
“Pregnancy places unique demands on the body. My goal is to provide gentle, personalized care that helps patients feel more comfortable and confident as their body changes.”
Dr. Majida Mankal
