84% of Pregnant Women Get Back Pain Relief From Chiropractic

Here is a little gem of a study for those of you contemplating chiropractic treatment for your back pain or sciatica.

In a recent study 84% of patients receiving chiropractic manipulation reported relief of back pain during pregnancy. There was significantly less likelihood of back labor when spinal manipulative therapy was administered during pregnancy. ("Back pain during pregnancy and labor". Diakow PR, et al. Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics, 1991: 14(2): 116-118.)

Not only does chiropractic treatment bring relief of symptoms it also reduces the chance of "back labor" which as many of you know can be rather painful. Chiropractic is safe and effective and can help you feel better now and keep you from pain later.
