Pregnancy is an especially important time to benefit from a higher functioning nervous system. As the baby grows, the extra weight puts additional stress on spinal joints, especially those of the low back. We often receive referrals from OB/GYNs because chiropractic offers a safe way to relieve back pain in expectant mothers without the need for drugs and our techniques can be applied without the need for x-rays. Pregnant mothers find that chiropractic adjustments improve the comfort of their pregnancy and make delivery easier for themselves and their baby. Adjusting methods are always adapted to a patient’s size, weight, age, and condition of health. Once your sciatic nerve pain has been thoroughly managing, you may be able to end your treatment or continue with visits on a weekly, monthly, or as-needed basis.
