During pregnancy, there are all kinds of changes in your body. Naturally, you notice this, as your body changes very much in a nine-month period, which brings all kinds of challenges.
There are changes in your hormones, in the way your heart and lungs function, and of course there is a different strain on different structures.
Most changes are absorbed by our bodies. However, our modern way of life is not always conducive to your pregnant body. Some parts of our body are not as strong as they should be.
Complaints may then arise. A well-known complaint is pregnancy sciatica. This focuses on back pain and radiating pain to the back of your leg or buttocks.
The symptoms are very annoying, but with the right chiropractic care, much is often possible.
Pregnancy sciatica is a temporary sciatica that occurs during/due to pregnancy. With sciatica, you get symptoms because the large sciatic nerve is pinched. This entrapment causes the characteristic symptoms.
The roots of the sciatic nerve leave the spinal cord low in your lower back. When entrapment occurs at this location, it is called sciatica. You often feel pain in the back and in the region where the sciatic nerve runs to.
However, you may experience more symptoms. You may experience a burning or tingling sensation. When the entrapment is more severe, you may even experience weaker muscles that are burning or feel cramped.
It is often said that for pregnancy ailments, the only real solution is childbirth.
This certainly has a grain of truth, but it is often not the only thing to do about it in our eyes. Because our bodies are resilient and flexible, as chiropractors we want to tap into these natural abilities in you.
Sciatica is caused by pressure on the roots of the sciatic nerve. This pressure can come from a bulging intervertebral disc, vertebrae that are out of balance or cramped muscles.
During pregnancy, other factors are added. In fact, due to the growing uterus, the position of the spine changes. It also puts extra pressure on the lower part of the back.
When muscles also cramp and joints become more flexible, even more pressure is put on the lower back. As a result, the sciatic nerve may become pinched. This is the start of back pain and radiating pain.
Therefore, our concern is to relieve this region. The techniques we use for this purpose are 100% safe for mother and child.
Thus, the condition is caused by excessive stress on the lower back. Whereas we cannot make the uterus less heavy or the joints less flexible, we can make improvements in support.
Through targeted exercises and paying extra attention to the balance of the vertebrae, the lower back becomes stronger and more stable. This distributes the pressure on this lower back better.
Because there is often a cramped piriformis muscle, we will work to make this muscle more flexible. This reduces the pressure on the region.
This care combined with other chiropractic techniques has a greatly improving effect on symptoms.
All the techniques we use are completely safe for mother and child. We customize our care when we assist pregnant women. This ensures you not only safe care, but also the best care.
