Prenatal massage or prenatal chiropractor appointment??

Question

I have been having awfulllll lower back pain. I have a desk job and it is so uncomfortable to be sitting all day. I get up every 30 mins or so to stretch out and walk around the office but I need more relief. Would anybody recommend one over the other? Both options I am looking at specialize in prenatal

Answer

I do both, personally. But try sitting on a big exercise ball. I have a horrible back and neck and it helps so much! Lose the office chair. On a ball you can roll your hips and bounce and it helps keep everything strong and loose without all the pressure.

Answer

I’m a registered massage therapist
Do both!
Chiro will help release the joint and put in back where it should be, massage will help release the muscles that will pull the joints out of place, or puts pressure on the joints
Keep strengthening your hips! It will help
Usually with sciatic nerve issues, your glutes (bum muscles) put pressure on your nerve, therefore mimicking sciatica nerve dysfunction
Sometimes your hips are misaligned, and this can cause pressure on your nerve as well
I get all my pregnant moms to see both chiro and massage:)

Answer

I love my chiropractor, so I would start with that. Since you sit a lot and pregnancy relaxes a lot of ligaments, your alignment (especially your hips) is probably off.

Answer

Both

Answer

Love my chiropractor! I started going at 18 weeks and it has been a lifesaver. Just make sure whoever you choose has done adjustments on pregnant women before :)

Answer

Try both😁 I personally like getting massage for the added relaxation factor, but I’m also not in much pain. Good luck!

Answer

I get adjusted twice a week for over 9 years...I do need to get a massage!!

Answer

I do both! So helpful!

Answer

I would try some sciatic nerve stretches! The pain makes you think it’s your back but it’s really like your butt and upper back thighs! Then get a massage!!
