PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC IN Fort Worth

A woman’s body must go through many different changes in order to allow for a growing baby. The growing baby increases in both size and weight. This growth brings the women's center of gravity much farther forward than usual. It is not natural for the center of gravity to be over the pelvis and therefore issues can arise. Joints of the pelvis and the lower back must handle more weight and increased stress. As the baby grows, the stress increases. If the woman has dealt with lower back problems throughout her life, there is a high probability that she will experience pain there again. This pain can affect both the labor and the day to day operations of the expecting mother.

The APA (American Pregnancy Association) found that around 50% of women will experience some form of lower back pain at one point in time or another during their pregnancy. This back pain usually occurs during the third trimester as this is the time when the baby starts to gain the most amount of weight. Lower back stress can also cause leg cramps, constipation, abdominal cramps and various other issues.
