Sciatica pain during pregnancy is not uncommon and can be attributed to changes in a woman’s body during this time. This condition refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. It is often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Sciatica pain can be debilitating during pregnancy. The Healthy Family Chiropractic & Wellness Centre in Mississauga, Georgetown, and Milton, ON, Dr. Matthew Posa and Dr. Jim Saclamacis provide prenatal care for back pain and pregnancy-related issues.
Back Pain and Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when your sciatic nerve becomes inflamed due to pressure on the nerves. Pain can occur if your lower back or pelvis goes out of alignment. When dealing with back pain during pregnancy, our chiropractor can provide treatment to ease the strain on your pelvis and lower back.
Decompression techniques can open up the space between vertebrae, decreasing the pressure on your sciatic nerve. Once the nerve is no longer pinched, it can start to heal, and pain will reduce.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Specialized pillows and gentle chiropractic adjustments are used when you are pregnant to protect your growing belly. Our chiropractor is a great option if you are looking for natural pain relief that doesn’t rely on medication.
Chiropractic adjustments throughout pregnancy are an excellent way to support your pelvis as the baby grows. Working with our chiropractor can help strengthen your body and prepare you for delivery.
