Pregnancy brings significant changes to the body, and those changes can sometimes lead to discomfort in the low back, hips, pelvis, and surrounding muscles.
At Balanced Body Chiropractic in St. Peters, Dr. Gary Hagner provides individualized chiropractic care designed to support comfort, mobility, and healthy movement throughout pregnancy.
As pregnancy progresses, changes in body weight, posture, joint loading, and the body’s center of gravity can place additional stress on the spine, pelvis, hips, and surrounding muscles.
Some women notice increasing low-back discomfort, pelvic tension, hip pain, or difficulty finding comfortable positions for sleeping, sitting, or walking.
Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on evaluating how these physical changes may be affecting movement and comfort.
Pregnant patients may seek care for concerns such as:
-
Low-back discomfort
-
Hip or pelvic discomfort
-
Muscle tightness
-
Postural strain
-
Sacroiliac-region discomfort
-
Difficulty moving comfortably
-
Increased discomfort with sitting, standing, or sleeping
-
General musculoskeletal tension associated with pregnancy
Every pregnancy is different, so care should be based on the individual patient rather than a predetermined treatment schedule.
Prenatal chiropractic care should be modified to accommodate the changing body.
Treatment positioning, techniques, and pressure can be adjusted according to the stage of pregnancy and the patient’s comfort. Supportive cushions or modified positioning may also be used when appropriate.
The goal is not forceful treatment. It is to provide comfortable, individualized musculoskeletal care.
Your visit begins with a discussion of your pregnancy, symptoms, medical history, activity level, and concerns.
Dr. Hagner may evaluate posture, movement, joint mobility, areas of muscle tension, and how the pelvis and spine are functioning during everyday activities.
If symptoms suggest a condition that requires medical evaluation, referral to the appropriate healthcare provider may be recommended.
Some episodes of uncomplicated back pain improve with time and appropriate activity. However, persistent, recurring, worsening or activity-limiting symptoms are good reasons to consider an evaluation.
You may want to schedule an appointment if:
-
Pain keeps returning
-
Sitting or standing has become difficult
-
You're avoiding activities because of discomfort
-
Back pain interferes with sleep
-
Symptoms began after an injury
-
Pain extends into the buttock or leg
-
Movement feels increasingly restricted
-
You're relying repeatedly on temporary measures without understanding the cause
An evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and what type of care is appropriate.
Chiropractic care does not replace obstetric or prenatal medical care.
Balanced Body Chiropractic encourages patients to maintain appropriate care with their obstetrician, midwife, primary-care provider, or other members of their healthcare team throughout pregnancy.
