Can anything be done for pregnancy back pain that's safe for the baby?

1 Answer

Answer :

I had something very similar while pregnant and it certainly was debilitating! I ended up going to a chiropractor who did wonders for me in just a couple of visits. I was referred to her by a friend, who said she had a lot of experience helping pregnant women. I saw her three times and the pain disappeared. I went back for two more visits toward the end of my pregnancy just to make sure my body was well aligned in preparation for labor. If Tylenol is not helping I definitely recommend finding a good chiropractor and giving that a shot.
