During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes rapid structural, hormonal, and physical transformations. As the baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, increasing the arch in your lower back. At the same time, the hormone relaxin softens pelvic ligaments, placing intense mechanical strain on the lower spine. At Correct Connect Chiropractic in San Antonio, TX , we provide gentle, specialized relief.

- Deep, aching lower back pain that intensifies after walking or standing
- Sharp pelvic girdle pain located at the front or back of the hips
