🤰 Pregnancy Pain
Expert chiropractic treatment in Richmond, KY — drug-free relief that addresses the root cause.
Pregnancy Pain: Understanding the Root Cause
Pregnancy places significant structural demands on a woman's body. As the baby grows, the center of gravity shifts, lumbar lordosis increases, and the pelvis widens — creating new mechanical stresses on the spine, sacroiliac joints, and supporting ligaments. Over 50% of pregnant women experience low back pain.
Common Causes
- •Increased lumbar lordosis from growing baby
- •Sacroiliac joint dysfunction from relaxin hormone
- •Round ligament pain from uterine stretching
- •Pelvic girdle pain and symphysis pubis dysfunction
- •Sciatic nerve compression from fetal positioning
- •Postural changes and shifted center of gravity
