Pregnancy and Back Pain

The joy of preparing for a new baby is diminished for many women by persistent back pain during pregnancy.

Why does pregnancy cause aches and pains?

Pregnancy places unique demands on the body. As your baby grows, changes in posture, weight distribution and hormone levels can place additional strain on the joints, muscles and ligaments.

Hormones released during pregnancy help prepare the body for childbirth by increasing ligament flexibility. Whilst this is a normal and important process, it can sometimes lead to reduced joint stability and increased strain on certain areas of the body.

Many women experience aches and pains during pregnancy, particularly as they progress through the second and third trimesters.

What problems are common during pregnancy?

Common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal complaints include:

Lower back pain

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)

Sciatica and leg pain

Hip pain

Mid-back pain

Neck and shoulder tension

Rib pain

Postural discomfort

Wrist and hand pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome

As your posture changes throughout pregnancy, additional stress can be placed on the spine and pelvis, leading to discomfort and restricted movement.

How can chiropractic help?

At Newbury Chiropractic Centre, our chiropractors have extensive experience in helping pregnant women manage pregnancy-related aches and pains safely and effectively.

Following a thorough consultation and examination, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and stage of pregnancy.

Treatment may include:

Gentle chiropractic adjustments and mobilisation

Soft tissue therapy

Pregnancy-specific treatment techniques

Rehabilitation and mobility exercises

Postural advice

Lifestyle and activity recommendations

Our treatment approaches are adapted throughout pregnancy to ensure your comfort and safety at all times.

What else can you do?

Alongside treatment, there are several things that can help reduce pregnancy-related discomfort:

Staying active with appropriate exercise

Maintaining good posture

Using supportive pillows when sleeping

Taking regular breaks from sitting

Performing gentle stretching exercises

Wearing supportive footwear

We can provide personalised advice to help you remain as comfortable and active as possible throughout your pregnancy.

  I had a very good experience with my chiropractor Yousef. He is very professional and clearly very knowledgeable about his work. He is also very friendly and makes you feel comfortable during the consultation. I highly recommend.

  Natacha is the best masseuse out there. Regularly sorting my legs out for all the half marathons, training runs and upcoming London Marathon. They always feel ready to go after Natacha has worked her magic. Even sorted out my stiff neck. You will not be disappointed. Make sure you book a session.

  Hello all! I have a back muscle problem. I was considering seeing a chiropractor, but I wanted to avoid making a hasty decision, so I've scheduled a massage with Natacha first. She is extremely professional. First, she assessed the situation by taking my history. Afterwards, we've reached the conclusion that a couple of massage sessions to loosen up the muscles would be most beneficial, which I could already tell from the first session. I'm looking forward to the next two sessions to see how things will improve.

  I can highly recommend Teja at newbury Chiropractic Centre. After being in pain for many years with my back/hips/legs and various visits to my GP, hospital and physio I thought I would just have to
'put up with the pain' as nothing they did really helped.
I visited Teja, with if im honest not much hope of improvement. But after a comprehensive assessment and a suggested course of treatment I can honestly say she has helped me no end!
I can't thank her enough for the difference her treatment has made to my everyday life. I feel 10yrs younger!
