Chiropractic Adjustments during pregnancy?

Question

Anybody’s hips or joints hurting so bad that they’ve resulted to seeing a chiropractor? Thinking about it myself, and have seen a few videos online of it being safe as long as the chiropractor has dealt with prenatal work especially.
Is it worth it so close to the end?

Answer

My husband is a physiotherapist and said a chiropractor will not help. The reason your joints hurt is because of the hormones the body creates to loosen up your pelvic bone for birth. The hormones can’t specifically trigger that one spot so it goes after a lot of joints. I have fibromyalgia and am in constant pain. I think a chiropractor will just make it worse and charge you a fortune.

Answer

I’ve been going for the last 5 weeks and it has been life changing. I went in not expecting too much relief for my hip pain and it’s gone now. It was so bad to the point that every move I made it felt like my hip was starting pop out of the socket and I would have to slowly move it into place. I was convinced it was the relaxin hormones and the midwives told me it would get worse with each pregnancy, but like I said it’s completely gone now!

Answer

I have a few friends who swear by it. It’s the one pregnancy self-care thing that I haven’t done myself, BUT many advocate for it. It certainly can’t hurt.

Answer

Yes go! Just let them know you’re pregnant when you call to schedule & as long as the dr works on pregnant people you’ll be good to go. It’s good to at least get your pelvis aligned before birth because it helps baby go through
