If you are experiencing any kind of back pain during your pregnancy our therapists at Suffolk County Chiropractic in Commack will work with you to help if you are experiencing an overly protruding abdomen, back curve, postural adaptations, and pelvic changes. One of the most important benefits of seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy is maintaining proper pelvic alignment, if the pelvis is misaligned that reduces the amount of room the baby has to grow. This problem is called, intrauterine constraint, this problem also makes delivery more difficult for the mother and baby and it also increases the chances that the mother will need a cesarean section.

Another added benefit of seeing a chiropractor while pregnant is that getting regular adjustments can help ease morning sickness. For some women morning sickness originates from a pinched nerve in their back caused by added pressure on their back and a chiropractic adjustment can help ease the symptoms associated with morning sickness.
