Has anyone seen a chiropractor while pregnant?
I have started to get low back pain/hip pain/pelvic pain and have been told by a friend to try the local chiropractor as he sorted her out while she was pregnant?
Anyone been to one and does it work?
Thanks,
Rachel.

I was told by my acupuncturist and consultant to stay well clear of chiropractor whilst you're pregnant but to see an osteopath instead.
I've got spondylothesis in my lower spine which has been aggravated by pregnancy as well as coccyx pain brought on solely by pregnancy so I am seeing the osteopath regularly - he makes a real difference.
Hope you feel better soon x
a good chiro would say if he didnt think you should be seen!!
He clicked a few bits, went no where near baby, spent ages beforehand asking me loads of questions and I feel better already!
Hip and pelvic pain has gone and lower back much better!
He said I will get worse before better but am benefitting already!
He did loads of tests (standing on a funny alignment machine and stuff) and said my pelvis was slightly out of line and this can affect delivery in a natural birth as the baby finds it harder to rotate once starting to come down through so getting it straight over the next few weeks could result in a much quicker birth!
He showed me on the skeleton and it all makes perfect sense.
It certainly feels good now! Bring on the shorter birth I say. hehe.....
