Back pain during pregnancy is widespread and can be attributed to a change in posture, weight distribution and hormonal influences. The most commonly treated symptoms include back and pelvic pain, which sometimes radiate to the legs, and neck pain. Research shows that chiropractic medicine can play an important role in treating these symptoms [1, 2].

Through targeted spinal manipulation and mobilization and resolving muscle-related issues, it’s possible to improve your posture, thereby relieving the strain on your back and alleviating your pain [2]. These are the methods we use to help you have a worry-free pregnancy and recover as quickly as possible after giving birth.

During pregnancy 

Studies suggest that chiropractic treatment contributes to overall well-being during pregnancy. For your treatment, we use manual techniques adapted to your body and condition [2, 4]. 
The aim is to optimize your spinal and pelvic biomechanics, thereby reducing pregnancy-related pain—especially towards the end of the pregnancy. We also show you behaviors and exercises that improve your well-being and make your day-to-day life easier.  If necessary, we will prescribe aids such as special support belts.

After the birth

After giving birth, we can support your recovery with chiropractic measures. By correcting imbalances in the musculoskeletal system caused by carrying and breastfeeding the baby, we can optimize the function of your spine and pelvis. If you respond well to treatment, you will achieve better posture, better mobility and less pain in your back, shoulders and neck [1]. We also provide you with simple exercises that can be integrated into your daily routine and, if necessary, prescribe active physiotherapy.
