It is common to experience new pains in the back, hips, legs, or even neck and head during the months of pregnancy. Your posture changes as the baby grows and your body is constantly adapting to the new stresses. As this occurs, you may also experience pains or numbness radiating into the legs (commonly called sciatica).
We treat these symptoms regularly at Favero Chiropractic and give special care to our expecting mothers, both before and after the big day.
The birth process, whether a normal birth or through Cesarean section, can be particularly traumatic to the hips and pelvis. Neck and shoulder pain can occur with breastfeeding and other activities while caring for your child. Dr. Favero has worked on many pregnant women and will explain his findings and what treatment will best help you feel better.
Chiropractic care is also important for your newborn. See our page on Pediatric Care.
