Chiropractic care is an excellent help for managing and treating many of the musculoskeletal problems that naturally occur during pregnancy.​ Hormone changes alter muscles and ligaments, body weight typically fluctuates, and the body's center of mass moves. These any many other factors may contribute to increase in physical discomfort. Gentle soft tissue and adjusting techniques may be used to help in many cases. Additionally, tremendous help can come from simple exercises and stretching.
