80% of pregnant women don't receive treatment for pain during pregnancy. Pain in pregnancy is very common. The most common is low back pain, but it can present anywhere.

Chiropractic can help the body adapt better to rapid changes happening.

Pain can sometimes keep you awake and sometimes it's just the uncomfortable state of being pregnant. Chiropractic treatment can reduce the uncomfortableness of pregnancy.

Pregnant women who sleep less than 6 hours a night, average 29 hours in labor, and women who sleep 7 or more hours a night average 18 hours in labor. 

 

• Reduce recovery time and postpartum pain:

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can reduce recovery time and postpartum pain. If pain persists after birth, visit your chiropractor when your obstetrician clears you to do so.
