Pregnancy can be hard on the neck, shoulders, and low back. The increased development of breast tissue causes the shoulder posture to be rounded. This puts extreme pressure on the neck and upper back. The development of the fetus pulls the low back into a compromised position.
During the nine months of pregnancy the body undergoes many hormonal changes. The ligaments relax and the pelvis rotates forward. This tightens the lumbar spine region, and creates a painful low back.
Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the joints, and help alleviate many pains associated with pregnancy.
