Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative experience for a woman, but it can also bring various physical discomforts with it. Many expectant mothers find themselves grappling with issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica due to the postural changes that pregnancy brings.
Getting to the Root of the Problem
During pregnancy, women often experience postural changes, including anterior pelvic tilting, forward head posture, and increased stress on the spine and pelvis. The introduction of the hormone relaxin into the mom’s system also loosens the ligaments in the area in preparation for childbirth.
The primary cause of pregnancy discomfort is misalignment or subluxation in the spine and pelvis. These misalignments may result in nerve irritation and musculoskeletal strain, leading to these unwanted symptoms.
