My hips are killing me and feel out of whack.  Just wondering if anyone had some relief after going to one.

    YES!!!!!  I had HORRIBLE sciatic nerve pain and went to the chiropractor and it was amazing.  A few adjustments later I felt 100% again!  Just be sure you find a good one, the first guy I saw made me feel worse!  I walked out of there limping.  A few days later I went and saw another guy and it was wonderful.  It took about 5 sessions for me to feel 100%.  Good luck!

    I started going around 20 weeks and I have been going on a set schedule since.  It started out 2 or 3 times a week to once a week then once every couple weeks, now since I am so close to my due date, I am back to once a week again!

    I feel better than I did BEFORE I was pregnant.  Definitely recommend finding someone with lots of experience with pregnancy though!

    Yes, I go weekly and it is phenomenal! Really, I feel great in that aspect. I cannot say that I really have back pain, and at 35 weeks pregnant, I should definitely have some back pain!

    Yes, once during both pg. I had the same problem both times, what seemed like a pinched nerve in the same place. I was unable to really move,  I got adjusted then a deep tissue massage in that area and everything went back to place. So yes, it helped me to go to the chiro.

    Yep, I've been going just about every 2 weeks, and I'll start weekly visits next week. It is *amazing* the difference it makes, for me! I have hip pain, lower back pain, you name it, and I always walk out of there feeling so much better. My DH thinks it's a bunch of "voodoo magic", because he went once and didn't tell a difference, but I don't care. My insurance pays for it just like any other doctor visit, and my chiro doesn't even charge me the co-pay half the time (because that would get expensive), so it's been 100% worth it for me. Definitely find someone that specializes in, or has lots of experience with, adjusting pregnant women. My chiro even has a special table for pregnant mamas where the middle section falls away so you can lay on your tummy. (Heavenly.)

    Yes! And I sooo wish I had done this with my first pregnancy. My hips were KILLING me. The chiro found my one hip to be way higher than the other and ever since he's been adjusting that (I'm down to every two weeks now) they have been so much better.

    My fave part, however, is the 15 minute massage I get after every adjustment. Heh heh.

    Yes and I love him.  Ask your OB or midwife for a recommendation.  The guy I go to sees a ton of pregnant women and has a great reputation.  I wouldn't just pick someone random.

    I was having really bad hip pains a little over a month ago and decided as a last resort that I would pay the copay and go to the chiro. There's only one in town and luckily he specialized in working with pregnant women and I only heard good things about him when I asked around. I went two weeks in a row and felt amazing and could actually sleep at night. I waited about a month and then went again yesterday because I was starting to feel uncomfortable again and I feel great again today. I would totally recommend it.

    My chiropractor has been my saving grace.  I started weekly treatments at the beginning of my second tri.  Due to the holidays and closings, I haven't been able to see her for the last 3 weeks, and I blame that for the reason my leg is swelling cause up until that, I had no lower body problems at all.

    I've been going once a month for years (hip issues, I had a pelvic bone that was tilted) and continued while pregnant. She's worked with plenty of pregnant women and even has a table that drops where the belly goes. She gave me a heads up of what to expect when I told her I was pregnant (not thrilled to have the sciatica issues but at least I had warning that it might happen and what to expect if it did).

     

    I agree with pp, I've had a couple that weren't very good but the one I have now I love.
