Bottom Line:
<\/strong>While expecting mothers may have a glow about them, they\u2019re unfortunately no less immune to body aches and pains than the rest of us. In fact, it’s estimated that over 85% of women will deal with back pain at some point during and likely after their pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve learned in years of treating pregnant patients, it\u2019s that finding relief without the use of over-the-counter and prescription medications is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a quick overview of what your expecting family should know about medications and chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why it Matters:
<\/strong>It\u2019s likely that you or an expecting mother you know have had their doctor caution them that no medications should be taken without checking with them first. It\u2019s no secret that all medications come with some level of side effects, and these are often heightened during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some medicines aren\u2019t safe to take when a woman is pregnant, even those that are available over-the-counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, there have been preliminary studies that suggest over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen and other common NSAIDs may increase the risk of health challenges in newborns such as asthma and gastrointestinal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that there are solutions available that don\u2019t require the use of these medications. Pregnancy and chiropractic adjustments go \u2018hand in hand\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low back pain and other pregnancy-related pains women often experience during pregnancy can usually be relieved with chiropractic spinal adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
