About New York City Pregnancy-Related Back Pain

"Congratulations" everyone says to you when you announce you are expecting. Congratulations, indeed! Lucky you, especially if you are one of the 50% to 70% of pregnant women who experiences pregnancy related back pain. Sadly, only 25% of providers recommend treatment. (Wang) One wonders why. Maybe, and rightly so, because they don't know what to do since drugs and MRI are off-limits? The tide may be turning though to help you ladies who experience back pain - and even leg pain - during pregnancy. All you need and deserve is some gentle, hands-on care to calm the nerves, in more ways than one.

Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression is a gentle, non-invasive pain-relieving treatment for you. One published case described chiropractic relief as safe and effective in reducing low back pain intensity for 94% of pregnant women's pain within 4.5 days and 2 treatments. No adverse effects were reported.  (Lisi)

Another study reported 69% of pregnant women reporting low back pain. The pain was described as causing sleep disturbance and impairing daily living. Risk factors for the pain were younger age and a history of pre-pregnancy back pain either while pregnant or not. (Wang)

Another published report of Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression being used to relieve back pain in a 26-year-old pregnant woman who had accompanying leg pain documents relief in just one visit. Complete resolution of the symptoms in 8 visits. (Kruse)

Pregnancy-related back pain is common, and relief for the mother-to-be is available with Cox Technic protocols. 

A thorough, clinical examination that may include imaging is important to your recovery.

In office, Rosenberg Wellness Center uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain.

You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation that very gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need. Depending on the severity of your pain and symptoms, gentler Protocol I may be applied until 50% relief of pain or more restoring Protocol II may be applied to guide your recovery.
