During pregnancy there are changes in the centre of gravity of a woman´s body, the pelvis opens and the low back arch increases. Along with weight gain and other physiological changes, pregnancy can put more pressure on organs and the spine.
The foetus moves down into the pelvis, which can be accompanied by discomfort in the low back, pelvis and legs. This can be associated with the stretching of the pelvic ligaments in preparation for birth. The nerves to the uterus, the pelvic floor muscles and the sciatic nerve originate from the lumbar spine and sacrum.
A vertebral column free of interference, as well as improved flexibility and stability can help with a healthy pregnancy and a healthy birth.
Both chiropractors and osteopaths can help with the discomforts of pregnancy whilst helping to prepare the body for a smooth delivery for mum and baby.
At clinica QO we use safe and natural methods to help women during pregnancy and after their new baby is born.
