I'm having pretty intense back pain near my tailbone and lower hip area (especially when I walk around) and I'm pretty sure it's related to this pregnancy.
I'd love to start seeing a chiropractor. Of those of you PG and who see a chiropractor, do any of you experience back pain similar to this and do you think a chiropractor could even help with this?
Hope to crowdsource a bit before I decide whether to make a call to a chiropractor's office... Thanks so much!
Re: Another chiropractor question...
Yes, a chiro should definitely be able to help with the pains you mentioned!
Make sure to get a recommendation from a friend or family member of a good chiropractor though, just don't pick a random one out of the phone book or off the internet.

I haven't seen a chiropractor since I moved 2.5 years ago because I don't trust just anyone to crack my back and neck. However, I saw a chiropractor regularly before I moved. I can testify that they can do wonders! I was hit by a drunk driver a number of years ago and had bad headaches for years, my chiropractor discovered the reason was because my neck had been thrown out and he was able to fix the curve and my headaches went away. I also have very large breasts and with regular adjustments my lower back pain was almost gone. I can honestly say that going back to see him is one of the things I am looking forward to most about going home!
I definitely think a chiropractor could help you with your back and hip pain. I have a pinched nerve in my hip and again, adjustments worked wonders. I could feel the difference in walking after each adjustment. At the very least it wouldn't hurt to get a consult. They will take x-rays and check everything out and go over a treatment plan with you and what they expect to accomplish.
