Maternity

Sometimes women are unsure of treatment during pregnancy.

However, if a woman has some very mild back issues, these pains may be heightened as the weight of the baby increases and your normal spinal curves are exaggerated.The hormone Relaxin which is released during pregnancy can also cause your joints to become more unstable and prone to spraining. The abdominal muscles get stretched, the diaphragm often tightens up, and the uterine ligaments stretch, causing tummy and chest pains. Every structure and organ in your body is put under increasing stress, and when its not working at its optimum, will let you know about it!
