image of pregnant woman performing exercises to help with back painBack pain during pregnancy is not an uncommon event. Ask any woman who's gone through it! It's no fun to have pain during such a happy time in life. But there is help.

Your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic sees many Richmond pregnant women in practice and helps them. Further, articles about spinal manipulation and chiropractic Cox Technic treatment and exercise point to the opportunity for Richmond pregnancy back pain relief. Often, a combined approach is best.

A multimodal approach to MOM (Don't you love acronyms?! This one stands for Musculoskeletal and Obstetric Management.) that combines different approaches gives the better relief. In addition to standard obstetric care, the pregnant women in this study also received manual therapy, stabilization exercises and patient education from their chiropractic physician specialists. These women demonstrated significant reductions in pain and disability. (1)

Further, Johnson Chiropractic's approach to pregnancy-related back pain often includes Cox Technic which is published as reducing pain for a woman in just one visit and giving her complete resolution of pain in 8 visits. (2)

So, make a chiropractic appointment for yourself or your pregnant loved one. Johnson Chiropractic offers spinal manipulation as well as stabilization exercise recommendations to help get the pregnant woman out of pain and back to enjoying this exciting time of her life.
