Back Pain During Pregnancy and Chiropractor in Concord

By: Taylor N. Barton

Pregnancy should be a time of great joy.  Unfortunately it is often marred by relentless discomforts such as morning sickness, mood swings, and back pain.

Back pain during pregnancy occurs in some women at the onset of pregnancy, especially in those who are overweight or have a preexisting back condition.

Back pain during pregnancy can be caused by a number of factors including but not limited to: increased hormones, change in center of gravity, additional weight, posture, and stress. As the uterus stretches to 1,000 times its normal size it is no wonder that studies show that anywhere from 50- 70% of women suffer from back pain.




There are many different steps that can be taken to reduce the frequency and severity of back pain. Barton Chiropractic, my Chiropractor in Concord has been helping expecting mothers get out of pain since 1986.

 Chiropractic is very common and totally safe to treat back pain during pregnancy. Many women have found relief not only with their back pain during pregnancy but with delivery as well. Although the other methods might assuage the pain, chiropractic can fix some of the factors causing it such as a misaligned spine, a pinched nerve, or subluxations.
