Bottom Line:
Did you know, 90% of women who receive Chiropractic care during pregnancy wish they could stay pregnant for another six months!? Ok, ok, that was a joke – but it’s no joke that research supports Chiropractic care as one of the most safe and effective options for assisting with pregnancy-related low back pain.
Why it Matters:
Even with all the changes that occur in a woman’s body during pregnancy, what doesn’t change is her daily responsibilities. Staying active and pain-free is essential for most women, especially knowing they can’t put the brakes on their lives just because they’re pregnant.
– Over 50% of women report back pain during pregnancy.
– Researchers have found Chiropractic care reduces low back pain in pregnant women by over 60%.
– These researchers also found those women receiving Chiropractic care reported significantly less trouble sleeping.
Next Steps:
Share it with a friend who is looking to start a family. You might be surprised how many women feel like there are no good options for dealing with the aches and pains associated with their pregnancies. Now thanks to you, they will now know Chiropractic is not only an option, it’s their best choice!
