Prenatal Chiropractic & Lower Back Pain

Pregnancy is a time of great excitement and anticipation for most women. It can also be accompanied by a wide array of challenges and changes, in a number of ways. Physiologically speaking, it can profoundly change your posture, center of gravity, and levels of pain and discomfort registering in you back, hips, knees, ankles, and other joints. Fortunately, a well-trained chiropractor will be able to offer significant insight and pain relief for pregnant moms in many phases of pregnancy. It's always advised to consult your OB-GYN before choosing chiropractic care as an option, but many chiropractors have been trained and certified in the treatment of pregnant patients. At Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness, we specialize and cater to our pregnant patients in and around the San Antonio area. And our prenatal chiropractic services extend beyond adjustments and pain relief, as we design complete wellness programs for our patients which include natural approaches to nutrition, exercise, and overall health. In fact, we have been committed to our patients' total health care for over 25 years.

The additional weight and location of your baby may cause the collective symptoms recognized as Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), which is associated with extreme pain in your hips, pelvic area, and lower back. In addition to carrying extra weight in a different postural position, a woman's body increases the ligament and joint-loosening hormones, which make childbirth possible in the first place. Combined, these factors may lead to a great deal of movement and strain on your body. Pain associated with your pregnancy can be an unnecessary added stress. With gentle chiropractor care and adjustments, as well as stretching and strengthening techniques, we have been able to help numerous expecting moms.

Whether you're an expecting mom in the San Antonio area or not, Dr. Donald Phillips and staff are prepared to examine and diagnose your pain issues with a holistic approach which looks to treat the entire patient and target the source of your aches and pains.
