Understanding Pregnancy Related Back Pain and Chiropractic Care
Why is there back pain during pregnancy?
There are many mechanical, postural and hormonal changes that take place in a woman's body during pregnancy. Below are just a few examples of typical changes.
Mechanical and postural changes:
- centre of gravity moves back therefore changing the mechanical stresses on joints, muscles and ligaments
- weight gain results in increased overall stress to joints and muscles
- muscles of low back must work more to counterbalance growing belly
- low back curve often becomes accentuated which pinches the joints of the low back and sacroiliac joints closer together resulting in joint irritation
- along with accentuation of the lumbar curve, the sacrum itself tilts forward at its base
- increased breast size can result in mid-back pain as the muscles and joints of the mid-back must compensate
- often there is a change in neck position with loss of the normal curvature of the neck
- women tend to adopt a wider based stance and gait which affects joint position of ankles, knees and hips resulting in joint/muscle/ligament irritation
- pressure may be exerted on nerves due to muscle tension and water retention resulting in tingling or numbing sensations
Hormonal changes:
- hormonal changes in pregnancy also affect biomechanics of the spine and peripheral joints
- a hormone called relaxin is released which softens and elongates ligaments and other connective tissues which leads to greater joint motion and possible joint irritation
As one can see, there are indeed myriad changes that occur. On top of this, minor pre-existing mechanical issues may be exacerbated during pregnancy due to the weight gain and hormonal effects.
How can chiropractic help?
Through a history and physical examination, chiropractic can identify specific problem areas in the spine and surrounding joints. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore proper motion and alignment of joints. In addition, specific corrective exercises are prescribed to help improve posture such that tight muscles are stretched and relatively weaker muscles are strengthened. Beyond this, chiropractic helps by balancing the nervous system which allows the body to heal optimally. Most pregnant women who experience chiropractic care report relief of symptoms and associated improved mood and sleep. Best of all, chiropractic is completely natural and non-invasive. Chiropractors do not prescribe medications which can be of concern especially during pregnancy.
Is chiropractic treatment safe during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care is natural, non-invasive and very safe for both mom and the developing baby. Chiropractors are also trained to identify red flags associated with high risk pregnancy and to refer accordingly.
What else can I do for relief and to ensure a healthy pregnancy?
Maintaining physical fitness through exercise is a great way to promote better health and fewer complications. Regular cardiovascular exercise leads to improved sleep, less pain, less stress, fewer delivery complications and has better birth outcomes for both mother and child. It also reduces the risk for gestational diabetes and pregnancy related hypertension and the associated consequences for both mom and developing baby. A balanced and nutritious diet is also important, ensuring that the fetus has the necessary building blocks for healthy development and mom is healthy too. Other ideas for pain relief include massage and acupuncture.
Following delivery, back pain usually resolves however daily activities such as lifting one's child, bending down to their level, breast feeding and awkward postures associated with raising a child may result in mechanical issues. Thus, some women may choose to continue with chiropractic care during this phase as well to ensure optimal joint mechanics and overall wellness.

Ultrasound in Pregnancy
Ultrasound: high-frequency sound waves that travel at 10-20 million cycles per second. The pattern of echo waves results in a picture of tissue and bone.
Later, UK radiologist H.D. Meire, who had been performing pregnancy scans for 25 years, commented, “The casual observer may be forgiven for wondering why the sonography medical profession has become involved in the wholesale study of pregnant patients with machines emanating vastly different powers of one’s which isn’t shown to be harmless to obtain information which is not shown to be associated with a clinical value by operators who’re not certified as competent to perform the operations”.
Ultrasound Routine prenatal ultrasound (RPU) actually detects only between 17 and 85 % from the One in 50 babies who’ve major abnormalities at birth. RPU can identify a low-lying placenta (placenta previa). However, 19 of 20 ladies who have placenta previa detected with an early scan will be needlessly worried: the placenta will effectively progress without causing problems at the birth. Furthermore, detection of placenta previa by RPU is not found to be safer than detection in labor.
The American sonography College of Obstetricians has figured “in a population of ladies with low-risk pregnancies, neither a decrease in perinatal morbidity and mortality nor less rate of unnecessary interventions should be expected from routine diagnostic ultrasound. Thus ultrasound ought to be performed for specific indications in low-risk pregnancy.
Results of ultrasound include cavitation, a process wherein the small pockets of gas that exist within mammalian tissue vibrate after which collapse. Within this situation “…temperatures of many thousands of degrees Celsius within the gas create a wide range of chemicals, some of which are potentially toxic. These violent processes might be made by microsecond pulses of the kind that are utilized in medical diagnosis.” (American Institute of Ultrasound Medicine Bioeffects Report 1988). The significance of cavitation in human tissue is unknown.
Studies have suggested that these effects are of real concern in living tissues:
* Cell abnormalities brought on by contact with ultrasound were seen to persist for several generations.
* In newborn rats (similar stage of development as human fetuses at 4 to 5 months in utero), ultrasound can damage the myelin that covers nerves.
* Exposing mice to dosages usual for obstetric ultrasound cased a 22% decrease in the speed of cell division and doubling from the rate of aptosis (programmed cell death), in the cells of the small intestine.
* Two long-term randomized controlled trials comparing exposed and unexposed childrens’ development at eight to nine years old found no measurable effect from ultrasound. However, the authors comment that intensities used today are lots of times higher than there were in 1979 and 1981.

Watson, an Army Reserve Soldier from Abilene, Texas, and deployed with the 7225th Medical Support Unit (MSU), is a labor and delivery nurse in her civilian occupation and was called upon to assist when the 19-year-old expectant mother arrived at the clinic in an advanced state of labor. The mother gave birth to a healthy, 5.5 lb. baby boy about 90 minutes later –and asked that Watson name her son. Watson named the baby "Cage." (Photo credit Maj.

Full Story:
Army Reserve Nurse Delivers Baby in Rural Uganda
By Maj.Corey Schultz, U.S. Army Reserve Command
KITGUM, Uganda — When 1st Lt. Victoria Lynn Watson deployed to Uganda for Natural Fire 10, she never imagined using her labor and delivery nursing skills during the exercise.
But when a Ugandan woman, Linda, arrived in labor at Pajimo medical clinic, where the Army Reserve’s 7225th Medical Support Unit was partnering with East African medics to offer healthcare to the Kitgum community, Watson sprang into action.
She checked her watch. It was nearly 2:30 pm when medics hurried the 19-year-old expectant mother from the clinic gates where hundreds had gathered to receive care.
During the 10-day exercise, the medics run a daily clinic to treat upwards of 700 Ugandans a day for ailments such as arthritis, minor wounds, skin infections –and dental and optometry care. Soldiers from Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Burundi are working alongside U.S. troops on medical, dental and engineering projects in the Kitgum region. Meanwhile, each nation is also taking part in security training and a simulated disaster relief exercise.
While pregnancy was not a planned treatment, the Pajimo clinic staffs a midwife and Watson was eager to assist. If the U.S. Army Reserve officer were back home in Abilene, Texas, she would do the same.
"This is what I do. I’m a labor and delivery nurse in my civilian job," Watson said, hurrying past Ugandan families clutching medicines and awaiting dental checks, "This is what I live for."
Watson serves with the 7231st Medical Support Unit in Lubbock, Texas, but volunteered to augment the 7225th for Uganda.
Once in the clinics maternity ward, Watson and Pfc. Kendra Hinds, a U.S. Army Reserve medic from Lubbock, Texas, joined Stella, the Ugandan midwife. Stella asked the lieutenant to work with her to deliver the child.
Stella and her Ugandan assistant prepared the delivery room. Watson’s examined the woman – nine centimeters and having contractions. Her watch read 3 p.m.
Hinds never helped a woman give birth. So, Watson talked her through the exam as they felt the mother’s stomach to see where the baby was.
"You can feel the contractions," Watson said to Hines. "Her sides and belly get hard. Feel here…that’s the head. It’s in the right place, that’s good. The baby is aligned right."
The midwife, Stella Betty Lamono – who goes by Stella, produced a Pinnard Horn – a wooden listening device not often seen in America that is used to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Watson and Hinds took turns listening.
Then Stella posed a question.
"You are delivering," Stella said. "You should name the baby."
"OK, I’ll name the baby," Watson said, in a light-hearted way. "How about, let’s see…Gracie for a girl? Yes, I like Gracie."
"And a boy?" asked Stella.
"Okay, for a boy…Cage. I like Cage."
Stella translated. The mother smiled, amused despite her obvious discomfort. It was nearly 3:30 p.m., the baby was coming but the delivery team still had things to do. They tried to start an intravenous drip.
There was a problem, they couldn’t find a vein. They spoke with the mother and found she had not eaten anything for two days.
"She’s dehydrated, she needs something with sugar," Watson said.
Soldiers offered sweet powdered drink pack from their daily rations – MRE’s, such as lemon-flavored ice tea and a lemon-lime electrolyte drinks.
Watson stirred each drink in a green plastic cup and gave it to the mother, who drank thirstily.
The team then found a vein for an IV, the mother tried to relax. From time to time, she would lift a pink curtain and gaze through the window into the dusty yard. Things quieted.
Meanwhile, her sister arranged swaddling clothes on the receiving table at the other side of the room.
"How many weeks is she?" Hinds asked.
"Thirty-eight," Stella said, confidently.
Ugandan midwives determine the duration of the pregnancy by feeling the stomach for the size of the baby’s head versus the height of the fundus — how high the uterus has pressed upwards into the diaphragm.
"This is amazing," Watson said. "In the States, doctors run a sonogram over the belly, ask for the date of the last menstrual period, and go from there. We learn the ‘old school’ way, but we never actually do it like Stella has."
Certified Ugandan midwifes attend a three-year school, Stella said, herself a midwife with seven years experience who delivers up to 28 babies each month — often in rural clinics.
The contractions continued. The mother remained stoic despite the lack of any pain medicine. Sweat beaded on her face, veins throbbed along her neck. She would lay calm more moments, the moan softly and slap the nearby wall. Hinds grabbed a cloth and patted her face and held her hands through contractions.
"Most girls in the States would be yelling and hollering by now," Watson said.
Unlike in the States, the clinic had no monitors, electrical gadgetry or air conditioning. It did have clean water, sterilized equipment and a trained midwife, plus her U.S. counterparts.
It was around 4 p.m., when the mother groaned and slapped the wall again.
"She’s in second stage," Watson said. "All she has to do now is push."
A few minutes passed, the mother began to push – Hinds held her hand and continued to comfort her. Then came a loud cry from a healthy baby boy. It was 4:30 p.m.
Watson wiped him down. He waved his tiny hands and stared around the room with large, alert eyes. Stella tied up the stump of the umbilical cord
"You delivered the baby, what name did you pick for a baby boy,” Stella said, reminding Watson.
“Cage," Watson replied. "But I can’t name her baby. It’s her baby!"
Hinds placed the infant into his mother’s arms. The new mom smiled.
"What is she going to name him?" Watson asked. Stella translated. The mother answered –and Stella began to laugh.
"What did she say?" Watson asked.
"She decided she liked the name you picked," Stella said. "She named her little boy ‘Cage’."
Outside, U.S. and East African medics were closing up for the day, handing out the final doses of vitamins and routine medications, when they learned the good news. An officer took out the records reflecting the number of people treated, changing 714 to 715, to add Cage – Kitgum’s newest resident.
"It’s pretty amazing there’s a little one out here that I named and that I helped bring into this world," Watson said. "Pretty amazing."

Ultrasound in pregnancy
Ultrasound: high-frequency sound waves that travel at 10 to 20 million cycles per second. The format of the image of ECHO waves causes bone tissue.
Later, radiologist United Kingdom Meire hard disk, pregnancy who was doing the scans for 25 years, said, "casual observer say, might wonder why medical sonography profession has become involved in pregnant patients with wholesale of machinery for different powers emanating from one of which is shown to be harmful to obtain information which is not shown to be associated with the clinical value of using operators who are not certified competent to perform the operations."
Memory (RPU) routine ultrasound detecting ultrasound prenatal nutrients actually only between 15 to 85% mtinokot one in 50 who already major distortions at birth. RPU identify placenta (placenta previa) was. However, 19 out of 20 ladies with placenta previa has been identified with early you can scan unnecessarily concerned: placenta to advance effectively without cause problems during birth. Moreover, identification of placenta previa by RPU is not found to be safer than identify a child.
