Chiropractic & Pregnancy

Pregnancy causes many changes to a woman’s body. Pregnant women usually experience lower back pain when carrying a child. This is because most of their weight is in the front part of their body. This increase in weight puts a large amount of stress on the lower back muscles.

Chiropractic treatment helps an expectant mother’s body adapt to stress during their chiropractic visits. In turn, this helps benefit mothers-to-be and their children, by teaching them how to adapt to other environmental stressors they will face in life.

At Slavin Chiropractic, we've helped many patients in Vineyard Haven, MA recover from lower back pain when carrying a child.
