Back Pain During Pregnancy
We all know a woman who has had back pain at some point during pregnancy. In fact, 50-75% of women experience back pain during labor. Having pain during pregnancy makes sense, all the changes occurring in a woman’s body, but it doesn't have to hurt. The good news is, the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) recommends chiropractic care throughout pregnancy and there are no known contraindications to chiropractic care during pregnancy.
