The Benefits of Chiropractic for Pregnant Women

Often when we talk about pregnancy, we think of the importance of the newborn, and in somehow, the future mother is neglected. The woman’s health and emotional well-being are vital for the baby. In this article, we will talk about mom, some common problems, and some tricks to solve them!

When the woman gets pregnant, she starts producing hormones that will prepare her body to deliver the baby. One of the various hormones that women’s produce is relaxin which aims to relax the structures of the pelvis (muscles, pubic symphysis) to facilitate the progression of the fetus in the birth canal during birth.

This relaxin however weakening the structures of the pelvis is one of the reasons why – 71% of women suffer from neck pain, back pain, low back pain, hip, and sacroiliitis – 64% suffer from pain in the pubic symphysis (belly) – 46% suffer from sciatica or low back pain (leg pain or altered sensation )To reduce or avoid these back and hip problems, to favour a correct pelvic position and, therefore, of the birth canal, the mother wants to keep her pelvis aligned.

Chiropractic is a profession that specialises in the appropriate functioning of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and here is what the Doctor of Chiropractic Francesco Mariani recommends:

To sleep more comfortably, people with back pain prefer to sleep on one side with a pillow between their legs or on their back with a pillow under their feet to decrease pelvic tilt. If mom has sitting problems, put them on knees lower than hips and avoid driving for long periods. It is also important to avoid sitting with your legs crossed as it brings the pelvis out of alignment and closes the pelvic canal. Should you have pain while standing, lean forward, this should give you some relief. “

Chiropractic is a safe, important, and effective practice during pregnancy and postpartum. Not only can chiropractic treat pain in the back, hips, and joints, but it can also establish pelvic balance. Having the pelvis aligned allows both the mother and the future baby to feel good during the pregnancy and having a more comfortable birth.

My husband and I have both benefitted tremendously from our treatments with Francesco Mariani. I'm a runner with consistent lower back problems. With the very first visit, this chiropractor was able to alleviate the pain and help me return to running, stronger than ever. My husband is a cyclist and his experience was similar. He's professional, highly-knowledgeable and patient. And, for any internationals worried about a language-barrier, he trained in the UK and speaks perfect English. Highly recommended.

If you are in need of a chiropractor, you must come see Francesco! He is so good at what he does; he is professional, thoughtful and personable. He speaks flawless English. My whole family looks forward to our appointments. Highly recommend!

My chiropractic treatment by Francesco has helped get me walking again, which has in turn benefitted my mental health. His caring kind nature helps to alleviate any anxieties or worries around the treatment I’ve received. My treatment plan was explained in such a helpful way so I also knew what was needed and when. Thank you Francesco.

I first visited Francesco’s Chiropractic office in 2019 after suffering with extreme back pain for a month. I could barely walk inside. I had to walk halfway bent over and immediately sit down to rest. He examined me thoroughly and spent so much time with me to understand my specific needs so he could provide the best treatment. By the time I left his office, I was standing upright and was able to walk all the way back to my car much more easily. I have been seeing him regularly since that day! He has helped with hip pain, headaches, muscle strain, and so much more. He has been so kind and helpful! I can’t recommend him enough

Dr. Francesco Mariani saved our trip in Italy! One week into our 3 1/2 week trip, as luck would have it, I had a reoccurance of a very painful backache. We were seriously contemplating just flying back to the U.S. Luckily I searched & found Dr Mariani, got an appointment that day & with a thorough exam & a successful treatment I am happily ready to enjoy the rest of our vacation. Dr Mariani is knowledgeable as much as personable. We we will forever be grateful & highly recommend Dr. F. Mariani

I had a recent BJJ competition I was training for and a week before I hurt my back bad. The next day I went to Studio Chiropractica and he did a full assessment and a small adjustment. I instantly felt better, and continued to feel better. I got one more adjustment before the competition and everyday continued to improve. Competition day I was feeling at 95% and was not only able to compete but I won. Thank you so much for your flexibility and your help!
