Pregnancy does a number on a woman’s body, including causing a significant amount of pain, especially during the third trimester. But there is relief. Our Colorado Springs chiropractor, Dr. Ammon Jacobson, offers the McKenzie method for back pain relief, which can lead to a healthier pregnancy and birth.

Why Does Pregnancy Cause Back Pain?

Back pain is quite normal during pregnancy and can continue even after your baby is born. Carrying a child gradually changes your center of gravity and the curvature of your spine. It even stretches and weakens your abs, which leads to a change in posture while straining your back muscles. 

All this also stresses your joints, which may cause you to try and move differently, which is not how your body is normally designed to move. This can lead to even more back pain. And then pain can stick around after pregnancy because of the sudden weight loss and shift in center of gravity. Your body needs time to recover.

The Power of the McKenzie Method

In addition to chiropractic adjustments to help you minimize pain and promote a healthy pregnancy, Dr. Jacobson also practices the McKenzie method, which has been utilized globally for well over 60 years.

This method excels at evaluating and diagnosing musculoskeletal issues. It’s safe and thorough and is focused on individual patient needs for appropriate treatment. The McKenzie method is shown to help reduce pain levels and help keep back pain in check.
