Why Does Back Pain Happen During Pregnancy?
As your baby grows, your body undergoes rapid changes—including weight shifts, posture adjustments, and hormonal effects on joints and ligaments. These changes can place extra stress on the lumbar spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles, resulting in pain and limited movement.
Common Pregnancy-Related Back Pain Symptoms
If you're pregnant and experiencing any of the following symptoms, you're not alone—and relief is possible with chiropractic care:
-
Low back pain: Achy, sharp, or pressure-like discomfort, especially in the lumbar region
-
Pelvic pain: Pain around the hips or pubic bone, often worse with standing or walking
-
Sciatic nerve irritation: Shooting pain, tingling, or numbness that travels down the leg
-
Muscle tightness: Tension in the lower back, hips, or glutes
-
Reduced mobility: Difficulty standing for long periods or getting comfortable while sleeping
