Pregnancy-Related Back Pain

Muscle problems are prevalent in pregnant women due to hormonal changes that cause increased ligament laxity. The resulting joint instabilities cause muscle spasms, pinched nerves and sciatica.

We have physical therapists who specialize in the treatment of pregnancy-related back pain. In addition to posture training and home exercises, they offer manual therapies, such as muscle energy techniques, that improve alignment, as well as manual traction and stability-support belts.
