I am a 29-year-old female. I am pregnant, but my back has been hurting bad lately. Can pregnant women see a chiropractor?

Yes, it's your choice. Let him know that you are pregnant.
Yes!
Absolutely. I often see pregnant women, but there are also chiropractors that specialize specifically in seeing pregnant women. So you have a lot of options with chiropractic during pregnancy.
Absolutely
Yes, there are some myofacial treatments they can do, but physical therapy that your OB can order would be best.
Of course. The Chiropractor has a limit on a pregnant girl so please go ahead and he will advise.
Absolutely! Pregnancy starts a whole series of changes within a woman's body. With hormones flowing throughout her body, the body is making room for the little one. Back pain is a common feature of pregnancy. Chiropractic adjustments help realign structures that become misaligned due to ligament laxity (a by-product of hormonal changes). Maintaining chiropractic adjustments throughout the pregnancy can reduce the discomfort associated with the woman's ever-changing pelvic and low back misalignments. In addition, chiropractic treatments have been shown to reduce the discomfort associated with labor and delivery.
Yes.
Yes you may. It would be a good idea to find a Chiropractor who specializes in prenatal care.
I do not see why they should not. A competent chiropractor will be very careful and be aware of pregnancy changes.
