Chiropractor

I had my first chiropractor appt today. My back feels amazing! I plan on going once a month during my pregnancy. Anyone else have experience with a chiro? I didn't go to one during my first preg and really wish I had.

Re: Chiropractor

  • I don't for my first 3, but I am this time and its been amazing! I really wish I would've done it with the others. My chiro recommends every 1-2 weeks, or when the pain gets worse. Which has been every 1-2 weeks anyway.

  • That's great! It's a must have for me. I don't need to go quite yet though. I get SPD (pelvic ligament pain) and the chiro makes a significant difference in my pain level. Last two pregnancies, it started after 20 weeks, and I usually went weekly unless I

  • Love going to the Chiropractor! I was going before I got pregnant. Right now, I go once a month, but once my back gets worse, we will increase to once every other week or every week.

  • I've seen a Chiropractor on and off for the last 12 years. They have helped with back pain due to a car accident and my migraines are almost non-existant now. I Saw one from about 20 week on when I was pregnant with DD, every week the last month and a hal
  • I started having low back pain literally the first week I was pregnant.  I've Been seeing a chiropractor and an acupuncturist ever since.  My chiropractor recently changed my appts from once a week to once every two weeks.

  • Just curious, will all Chiropractors work with pregnant women, or is it only certain ones?  Also is anyone willing to give rough idea on how much they cost?

  • Every chiro is different on pricing. Some offer discounted rates if you don't have insurance. Our insurance is a 20 co pay and 20% which seems great
