Pregnancy-Related Discomfort
Gentle, safe chiropractic care to support you and your baby through every stage of pregnancy.
What's Going On
Understanding Pregnancy-Related Discomforts
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey — but it comes with real physical challenges. As your body changes to support your growing baby, shifts in weight, hormones, and posture can create aches and pains that make everyday life difficult.
You don't have to just "push through it."
At Path to Wellness Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Chitra Rajendran is Webster Technique Certified through the ICPA and specializes in gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic care that helps you feel your best during every trimester.
Safe & Gentle
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe for both mother and baby. Dr. Chitra uses specialized techniques and positioning to keep you comfortable at every stage.
Common Issues
Pregnancy Discomforts We Treat
Your body is working overtime to support your growing baby. These are the most common discomforts we help expecting mothers with.
Lower Back Pain
As your baby grows, the extra weight shifts your center of gravity forward — putting increased stress on the muscles and joints of your lower back, often causing persistent pain.
Pelvic Pain & SI Joint Dysfunction
Hormonal changes cause ligaments to loosen, leading to instability in the pelvic joints. This can cause sharp pain in the hips, groin, or lower back — especially when walking or turning in bed.
Sciatica
The growing uterus can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates from the lower back down through the buttock and leg.
Round Ligament Pain
The ligaments supporting your uterus stretch as your baby grows, causing sharp or jabbing pains in the lower abdomen or groin — especially during sudden movements.
Hip Pain
As your pelvis widens and your gait changes, the hip joints take on extra stress — causing stiffness, achiness, or sharp pain that can make sleeping and walking uncomfortable.
Postural Changes
The increased weight of pregnancy shifts your posture, increasing the curve in your lower back and rounding your shoulders — which can lead to neck pain, upper back tension, and headaches.
