Natural Relief of Pregnancy Back Pain with Chiropractic Care

Support Your Body Naturally with Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but the physical changes it brings can create real discomfort—especially as your body adapts to support your growing baby. For expecting mothers in Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, and Provo, Utah, staying comfortable and maintaining a healthy pregnancy is a top priority. At Crest Chiropractic, we specialize in providing gentle, effective chiropractic care for pregnancy to help stay healthy, relieve pain and improve alignment during every stage of pregnancy.

Why Do Pregnant Women Experience Back Pain, Leg Pain and Sciatica?

During pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, the body undergoes several major structural and hormonal changes:

• Postural shifts as the baby grows cause the lumbar spine to curve more deeply
• Increased pressure on the hips, legs, and pelvis
• Hormonal changes, particularly the release of relaxin, increase joint laxity (looseness), making the body more prone to misalignment

These changes can result in common discomforts such as:

• Pregnancy back pain
• Pregnancy sciatica or leg pain
• Hip pain or leg weakness
• Neck and shoulder tension

How Chiropractic Care Helps During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free way to support a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. At Crest Chiropractic, our team is trained in prenatal chiropractic techniques, including the renowned Webster Technique. We use special chiropractic tables designed for the treatment of pregnancy which allow expecting mothers to safely lie on their stomach or back. With our pregnancy chiropractic adjustments, we gently adjust the spine and pelvis which promotes optimal alignment and function. By adjusting the spine and pelvis, pressure can be reduced on the lower back nerves and sciatic nerve to provide relief from burning pain, shooting pain, and more. Other benefits of adjustments include improved mobility which allows easier movement up and down, climbing stairs and even lifting. In addition to adjustments we may also incorporate stretching or soft tissue techniques to address muscle tightness and improve flexibility.

Our care can help:

• Optimize pregnancy health and wellness
• Reduce pregnancy-related back pain and sciatica
• Improve pelvic alignment and balance the spine
• Relieve hip and leg discomfort
• Support optimal fetal positioning
• Prepare the body for a smoother labor and delivery

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic method specifically designed for pregnant women. We assess sacral alignment and gently adjust the sacrum when misalignment is found. Soft tissue techniques may also be used to relax tight ligaments or muscles contributing to pelvic imbalance. It focuses on:

• Balancing the pelvis
• Releasing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments
• Creating more space for the baby to move into the ideal position for birth

Many mothers choose the Webster Technique to encourage optimal fetal positioning and reduce the chances of breech presentation.

At Crest Chiropractic, we’re honored to support local moms throughout their pregnancy journey. Chiropractic care is not only a solution for pregnancy back, hip, and leg pain, but its a holistic approach to ensure your body remains balanced and healthy during the months of pregnancy. Whether you’re dealing with sciatica during pregnancy, persistent back pain, or simply want to support a healthy delivery, we’re here to help.
