Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy with our Temple Chiropractor

Pregnancy can be a wonderful time in a woman's life, but it is not without its discomforts. With so many changes happening with the body during this special time, it is common for the musculoskeletal structure to experience some periods of imbalance. Exercise may provide some relief, but pain and discomfort can sometimes make exercise difficult during pregnancy. Here at Armstrong Chiropractic Center, we provide safe and effective pain relief for the discomfort often associated with pregnancy. Our Temple chiropractor, Dr. Stephen Armstrong, can help to relieve some of the causes of pregnancy pain with gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation.

Back, Neck, and Joint Pain During Pregnancy

Many people use the expression "eating for two (or more)" when speaking of pregnant women but, not only are they eating for two, they are also walking and moving around for two as well. The relatively rapid weight gain of pregnancy can put a heavy strain on the body's muscles and joints. This added pressure commonly causes problems such as aching backs, stiff necks and, chronic fatigue.

Women who treat themselves to regular therapeutic massages and chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are much less likely to suffer from chronic pain and discomfort throughout the nine-month term.

Sciatica

Sciatica is painful condition resulting from an impingement of the sciatic nerve, one of the largest nerves in the body. This nerve runs from the lower back all the way through the back of the leg, extending down to the foot. Women commonly experience sciatica during pregnancy, due to the increased weight and strain on their body. The condition often happens suddenly and can cause a lot of pain in the leg area. Chiropractic treatment, however, can coax the spine back into proper alignment, thereby easing the pressure on the nerve and easing the pain.
