Chiropractor

For those who use them during prgnancy, when do you start seeing one? I've known people who go about 32+ weeks but didn't know if going any earlier could help.

p.s.
sorry if this discussion has already been started..my phone won't let me search the board =/

I went to the Chiro regularly- moved and hadn't gone for a while. Started going again at 11 weeks. But my back is Jacked up lol. But yes it can help even before you are farther along.

find someone who works with pregnant woman. The Webster technique is awesome and gets rid of my lower back pain and round ligament pain.

I've been going since before I got my BFP (once every four weeks), but I go to a practice that specializes in pregnancy so they were super excited and supportive when I gave them the news. My chiropractor recommends coming in once every two weeks until the third trimester, then once a week after that. It seems like a lot but it's totally worth it (at least I think so). In addition to helping my headaches and back pain, they've given me great tips for easing RL pain and stretches that might help prevent being breech.

I have gone through all 3 of my pregnancies and it make me feel so much better. And I take my babies after they are born to make sure they are ok as well

My Chiro suggests going at least once a month. There is a vertebrae that needs to be kept in alignment for a healthy pregnancy. He told me that it can help prevent miscarriage in early stages.

I go weekly, and have for a while. My back is all kinds of messed up though. My chiro had all kinds of technical terms for it, but basically I have spinal degeneration in my neck, something going on with the curve in the middle of my back, and a pinched sciatic nerve in my lower back. When not pregnant I go every couple of weeks, but I have definitely needed more attention now that I'm showing and my balance is thrown off.

I simply start when my body says it's time. I don't go right now but once I start having aches and pains, I'll start going. We are limited to 20 visits a year though so I have to make sure that I don't waste visits. My chiro usually has me go in twice a week initially and then moves it to a weekly basis so I have to take that into consideration as I plan on when to go.

I go about once per month or sooner if I feel I need to. It's been a lifesaver for me

Most of my family is big into chiropractors, but this is the kind of thing that scares me off and makes me think a lot of them are just quacks.

There is no way my miscarriage could have been prevented by going to a chiropractor. When 70-80% of all miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities (I think that's the stat if I'm recalling correctly), that's a pretty shitty thing for him to be telling women.

I go weekly and have been for about a month or so now. I was having horrible lower back pain when I would lay down and it was preventing me from playing with my daughter. My chiropractor says 1x a week and once I hit about 32-34 weeks it may be 2x a week but only if necessary.

I was hesitant but I asked on this board and so many women had great things to say I just made an appointment. So glad I did!
