    From the information provided, it sounds like you may have a Sacro-Iliac joint and low back dysfunction. This happens often to mothers during and soon after pregnancy.During your pregnancy, your body produces a hormone called “relaxin.” This natural hormone allows for the ligaments in your body to loosen, so that your pelvis can expand to accomodate the baby. This also allows for ligaments to loosen during delivery. However, this can also have some side effects because with loosened ligaments, joints can wear easier. Chiropractic care would likely help your situation. With the patients I’ve seen with similar situations, they almost always have benefitted. An educated chiropractor will also be able to teach you exercises and stretching that will need to be done at home, in addition to your chiropractic treatments. In summary, your case sounds like chiropractic would be a wonderful treatment option. Unfortunately, not many family doctors would make this suggestion. But this is changing with more and more doctors referring to Chiropractors!
