Any chiropractors here? I need advice

Question

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago. I have been going to the chiropractor for back pain and migranes. They have been doing massages, electro therapy and adjusting me. I am now 10 dpo and I have read the electro therapy and massages aren't recommended during pregnancy. Should I stop them even though it's too early to test? We have been trying for 2 years so I don't want to risk anything if I am, I ask because I want an unbiased opinion not just from an accident chiropractor getting paid through insurance. This is what the machine looks like I think it's called a tens?

Answer

I have a bad back and see a chiro, he refuses to use tens units on any pregnant woman across the board no matter what. I asked my OB if I could use mine at home and he said yes. I still don't though. Waiting until she comes just to be safe. 7 weeks left! 😎

Answer

I'm not a chiropractor, but I do see one during pregnancy. I would encourage you to look up a chiropractor in your area that specifically works with pregnant women to get an unbiased opinion.

Answer

Thanks guys. I think I'll just tell him not to do the electro therapy and to be careful with everything else.

Answer

I have degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and a bulging disc. I'm  7w3d and I've been getting massages weekly to help with my back problems. My massage therapist said there are techniques that are safe during pregnancy; just no deep tissue massage. I've also heard that seeing a chiropractor can relieve a lot of pain during pregnancy. Just make sure to go to someone who has experience working with pregnant women.
