No.218「28 weeks of pregnant women」

A women 28 weeks pregnant visited Dr. K.   Her main complaint was low back pain on her right and also numbness on the right leg. The pain scale the patient mentioned was 9 out of 10 with VAS scale while standing and walking. Dr. K checked her spine, he found a subluxation on her right SI joint. He adjusted her right side with the Drop table, and using SOT technique which uses a wedge-shape block and maintains the joint. After adjustment, the pain dramatically decreased, and she could walk without any pain.

During pregnancy, the joints become loose because of the Relaxin hormone. Actually, this hormone aids placenta growth and stops contractions to prevent an early delivery. At the end of pregnancy, when labor begins, Relaxin helps to relax the ligaments in the pelvis to allow it to stretch as the baby leaves the mother’s body.

If you have a chance to visit chiropractors, that is awesome. I highly recommend visiting them during pregnancy as well.
