Manage Back Discomfort and Pregnancy with CSC’s Prenatal & Postnatal Care

Pregnancy brings significant changes to a woman’s body, often leading to spinal and joint discomfort. Chiropractic Specialty Center® offers safe and effective prenatal and postnatal care through a combination of gentle chiropractic and physiotherapy. Our specialized programs help expecting and new mothers stay comfortable and supported throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Causes of Back Discomfort During Pregnancy

Several factors contribute to spinal and joint discomfort in pregnant women, including:

Hormonal changes that loosen ligaments and joints
Weight gain adding stress to the spine
Shifts in the center of gravity affecting posture
Weak core muscles leading to instability
Pre-existing conditions affecting the back, pelvis, and hips

Understanding these causes can help in preventing or managing discomfort more effectively. Seeking professional prenatal and postnatal care is crucial for maintaining spinal health and overall well-being.

Prenatal & Postnatal Care for a Healthier Pregnancy

Pregnancy care is divided into two essential phases:

Prenatal Care – Focuses on maintaining spinal alignment, improving posture, and preventing discomfort during pregnancy.
Postnatal Care – Helps mothers recover from pregnancy-related changes, supporting spinal and pelvic stability postpartum.

Two of the most effective forms of pregnancy care are:

Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic
Prenatal & Postnatal Physiotherapy

Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care during pregnancy aims to reduce spinal stress, keep the pelvis properly aligned, and improve overall mobility. Proper pelvic alignment supports a smoother pregnancy and can contribute to easier delivery.

The safest and most effective prenatal chiropractic techniques use Activator Methods, a precise and gentle approach. Traditional techniques such as Gonstead and Diversified adjustments, which involve twisting or sudden movements, should be avoided during pregnancy.

Chiropractic Specialty Center® provides specialized prenatal and postnatal chiropractic treatments designed to support spinal health in a non-forceful, safe, and gentle manner. Our methods focus on stability and comfort without any sudden movements or excessive pressure.

Prenatal & Postnatal Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in strengthening the body before and after pregnancy. Pregnancy-related postural changes affect the spine, hips, knees, legs, ankles, and feet, leading to discomfort. Prenatal physiotherapy helps address these changes through:

Posture correction to minimize spinal stress
Customized exercise plans to strengthen core and pelvic muscles
Non-forceful physiotherapy methods that focus on stability and relief

Expecting mothers with pre-existing weaknesses may experience increased discomfort during pregnancy. Physiotherapy helps address these weaknesses, ensuring a more comfortable experience before and after childbirth.

Comprehensive Pregnancy Care at Chiropractic Specialty Center®

Our prenatal and postnatal chiropractic and physiotherapy programs provide a holistic approach to pregnancy care. We focus on gentle, targeted treatments without twisting, popping, or forceful spinal adjustments.

Impact of Hormonal Changes During Pregnancy on the Spine

Pregnancy brings hormonal changes that affect the body in various ways. One of the most influential hormones is Relaxin, which plays a crucial role in preparing the body for childbirth. While necessary, this hormone can lead to increased joint laxity, causing instability and discomfort in the spine and pelvis. These effects contribute to spinal and joint issues, particularly in the lower back and sacroiliac joints.

Can Weight Gain During Pregnancy Cause Back Discomfort?

Weight gain during pregnancy is normal and expected. Healthy weight gain recommendations include:

First trimester: 1 to 2.5 kilograms
Second & third trimester: About 500 grams per week

Excessive weight gain, however, can put additional strain on the spine, especially for women with poor posture or weak core muscles. One common issue related to weight gain is tailbone sensitivity (coccydynia), which many expecting mothers experience due to shifts in posture and increased pressure on the lower spine.

Changes in Center of Gravity During Pregnancy

As pregnancy progresses, the growing belly shifts the body’s center of gravity forward. This gradual change places strain on the spinal joints, discs, muscles, and ligaments. The body must continuously adjust to maintain balance, which can lead to discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis.

Proper posture, core strengthening exercises, and professional prenatal care can help minimize the negative effects of these changes.

Weak Core Muscles and Back Discomfort During Pregnancy

Pregnancy naturally stretches and elongates the abdominal muscles to accommodate the growing baby. If these muscles were weak before pregnancy, the strain on the spine and lower back muscles increases significantly.

A strong core is essential for spinal support and stability. Weak core muscles may lead to increased spinal stress, poor posture, and greater discomfort. Strengthening these muscles through prenatal physiotherapy and safe exercise programs can improve stability and reduce spinal stress during pregnancy.

Sacroiliac Joint Discomfort During Pregnancy

Sacroiliac (SI) joint discomfort is one of the most common complaints among pregnant women. This condition results from hormonal changes, particularly Relaxin and Progesterone, which loosen the ligaments that stabilize the pelvis.

SI joint issues are more common in women with:

Pre-existing spinal or hip conditions
Excessive physical activity during pregnancy
Prolonged sitting or standing

The sacroiliac joints connect the pelvic bones (ilium) to the sacrum (tailbone). When these joints become unstable due to hormonal changes or excessive strain, discomfort can develop in the lower back and hips.

Safe & Effective Spinal Support During Pregnancy

Our chiropractic and physiotherapy teams specialize in prenatal spinal support. We offer gentle, safe, and targeted care to restore spinal alignment, improve joint function, and strengthen supporting muscles.

How to Stay Comfortable During Pregnancy

Small lifestyle changes can make a big difference in managing discomfort during pregnancy. Adjusting daily habits, posture, and activity levels can help reduce strain on the body and improve overall well-being. Below are some essential tips for expecting mothers to maintain a healthy and comfortable pregnancy.

Impact of Physical Activity on Comfort During Pregnancy

Engaging in gentle physical activity can help improve mobility and ease tension. However, it is essential to avoid high-impact exercises that place excessive stress on the spine and joints. Before starting any exercise routine, consult your gynecologist to ensure safety for both mother and baby.

Two pregnancy-safe exercises are:

Walking in water (pool therapy) – Water provides buoyancy and resistance, which help reduce pressure on the spine while strengthening muscles. Walking in a pool is one of the safest and most effective exercises for expecting mothers.
Kegel exercises – Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help stabilize the lower back and improve overall comfort.

We recommend starting these exercises early in pregnancy and gradually increasing intensity. However, after the seventh month of pregnancy, it is best to reduce strenuous activity and focus on light movements.

Proper Lifting Techniques to Avoid Strain During Pregnancy

Lifting objects during pregnancy should be minimized as much as possible. The female pelvis is naturally more flexible during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, making it more vulnerable to strain and discomfort.

If lifting is unavoidable, follow these proper lifting techniques to prevent excessive stress on the body:

Avoid bending forward at the waist – Instead, bend your knees and squat down.
Hold the object close to your body – Keep the weight centered to reduce spinal strain.
Use your leg muscles to lift – Stand up slowly without twisting your body.

Avoid lifting heavy objects whenever possible to reduce stress on your back and pelvis.

Should You Use Back Supports for Extra Comfort During Pregnancy?

Changes in posture, weight distribution, and muscle strength contribute to tension and stiffness during pregnancy. Using proper back support while sitting can help reduce pressure on the spine and provide relief.

To improve sitting posture and minimize discomfort:

Use a pillow or lumbar support when sitting for long periods.
Choose a supportive chair that promotes good posture.
Avoid slouching to prevent added strain on the lower back.

How Important Is Sleep During Pregnancy?

Getting adequate sleep is essential for both the mother’s well-being and the baby’s development. Pregnant women should aim for at least eight hours of quality sleep each night. However, due to physical changes, hormonal fluctuations, and increased pressure on the spine, restful sleep can be challenging.

To improve sleep quality during pregnancy:

Plan for nine or more hours in bed to compensate for nighttime disturbances.
Choose a firm, supportive mattress that maintains spinal alignment.
Use pillows for added comfort – Placing a pillow between the knees or under the belly can help reduce pressure.

What Is the Best Sleeping Position for Pregnant Mothers?

The way you sleep is just as important as the amount of rest you get. The best sleeping position during pregnancy is on your side. Many expecting mothers find that sleeping on the left side helps reduce pressure on internal organs and promotes better circulation.

To improve comfort and reduce strain on the lower back and pelvis, consider the following tips:

Use a pillow or bolster between the thighs and knees to support the hips and reduce tension in the legs and lower back.
Maintain a neutral spine position by using a firm mattress and additional pillows for support.
Avoid sleeping on your back for extended periods, as it may increase pressure on blood vessels and the spine.

Finding a comfortable sleeping posture is essential for reducing tension and improving sleep quality throughout pregnancy.

Choosing the Right Footwear to Support Your Spine and Joints

Weight gain and changes in posture during pregnancy affect weight-bearing joints, including the feet. Proper footwear is essential to reduce strain on the spine and lower limbs.

To support spinal alignment and joint health:

Choose supportive shoes with proper arch support to maintain balance and posture.
Avoid high heels and unsupportive flats, as they can increase stress on the lower back.
Use orthotic insoles if necessary to provide additional cushioning and alignment support.

Wearing the right shoes can help minimize unnecessary strain on the back and lower limbs, ensuring better comfort throughout pregnancy.

Regular Prenatal Spine and Joint Health Assessments

Regular spinal and joint assessments can help identify muscle, tendon, ligament, or joint weaknesses that may contribute to discomfort during pregnancy. A prenatal check-up with a clinical expert can help ensure a healthier and more comfortable pregnancy.

Our chiropractors and physiotherapists specialize in prenatal and postnatal care, offering safe, non-invasive methods to support the body throughout pregnancy.

Addressing Spinal Discomfort Early to Prevent Long-Term Issues

Neglecting spinal discomfort during pregnancy can increase the risk of complications, including degenerative disc conditions and slipped discs. Changes in posture and weight distribution often aggravate existing spinal weaknesses, leading to issues such as:

Disc degeneration

Bulging or herniated discs (slipped discs)

Chronic spinal misalignment

Expecting mothers experiencing persistent spinal discomfort should seek targeted care to avoid complications after delivery.
