Chiropractor ?

Question

Has anyone seen a chiropractor while pregnant (big pregnant)? I’ve always been hesitant about chiropractors as it is, just because I have anxiety and your back is very important lol. But now I’m 36 weeks pregnant and MISERABLE. I’m in so much pain all the time, but especially when laying down. My lower back and hips feel like they are actually broken 🥴😞 
Highly considering booking an appointment soon, just wondering if anyone else has found relief with a chiropractic adjustment late in pregnancy?

Answer

I’m almost 30 weeks and have been seeing a chiro nearly every week. I would say if it’s your first time, I would do a lot of research about the doctor you’re seeing. Try to get a recommendation from a trusted friend who has gone before. I’ve found every chiropractor’s methods and mannerisms can be a bit different, and I’ve just liked some more than others. If you don’t like your first visit, try a different chiro. That said, before and during pregnancy, I’ve found adjustments keep me pain free and moving! So important! Best of luck.

Answer

I’ve seen a chiro on and off for a few years. Researched a ton looking for one that does maternity cases. At 17 weeks I couldn’t lay down from lower back pain. I first started going 3 times a week and now going 1 time per week and I feel like a normal human again. Not in constant level 8 pain. Hopefully labor goes easy!

Answer

I started both chiro and osteo when I was around 27 weeks and tbh I don't know how much help they were. I've stopped seeing them now. You can give it a shot, just make sure you find someone who is experienced with pregnancy and don't let the chiro do any manual adjustments.

Answer

36 weeks with baby #3 and have seen one throughout all of my pregnancies the entire time. I start going weekly around 35 weeks until the end. It helps a TON!

Answer

Omg. I almost did because I had such bad back and hip pain too but ended up not doing it :( I did get a prenatal massage at 36 weeks pregnant and it helped me so much !! Idk if you have tried that yet but you should

Answer

Twice a week throughout all my pregnancies. I couldn’t live without adjustments.

Answer

I did try it in my 3rd trimester to relieve back, hip and shoulder pain and attempt to get baby to flip. It didn’t really do anything 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m not normally an advocate for going to a Chiropractor. I believe much more in the permanent fixes that Physical Therapy can provide, and a chiropractor is going to provide temporary fixes, causing you to continue to have to go to them, whereas PT is more work but will usually fix the issue in the long run. With that being said,  since pregnancy is temporary, it likely wouldn’t hurt to try and does have the potential to relieve some of that pain you’re feeling, at least until you have the baby!

Answer

🙋‍♀️ Me! I saw a chiropractor with my two prior pregnancies in my third trimester. Highly recommend it. He was a lifesaver. His specific field was in sports rehabilitation, but he had a passion for helping pregnant women and newborns too. In addition to aligning my spine and making sure my pelvis was in the correct position for birth, he helped alleviate my back and hip pain, and taught me some stretches I could do at home to continue care on my own. I hope you have a great experience and are able to find some relief.

Answer

Yes! It was so helpful I really recommend seeing a chiropractor
