Pregnancy Back Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care
Understanding Back Pain in Pregnancy
Back pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy. As your body changes to support your growing baby, your posture, balance, and centre of gravity shift — placing extra strain on your spine, joints, and muscles.
​
Hormonal changes also loosen the ligaments in your pelvis, which can lead to instability, misalignment, and pain in the lower back, hips, and pelvis. Chiropractic care helps restore balance and mobility, easing tension and improving comfort throughout your pregnancy journey.
Common Causes of Pregnancy-Related Back Pain
-
Postural changes as your belly grows
-
Pelvic joint instability or misalignment
-
Muscle strain from supporting extra weight
-
Sciatic nerve irritation
-
Hormonal changes affecting ligament flexibility
-
Stress and fatigue leading to tension
​
These changes are natural, but they don’t have to be painful. Chiropractic care offers safe and effective relief.

Dr Vinesh Vaghmaria uses gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic adjustments designed to relieve pressure on the spine, improve pelvic alignment, and promote optimal nervous system function.
