The causes, triggers, and reasons prenatal chiropractic care can help with pregnancy pain and discomfort. Everyone knows pregnancy brings plenty of changes, but there are aches and discomfort that come along that can catch you off guard. As your baby grows, your body has to adjust to a changing center of gravity, shifting joints, and changes in muscle tension. All of the work your body does to support you often leads to lower back pain, hip pain, pelvic discomfort, and other aches that you may not expect. 

When you visit a chiropractor, it’s easy to assume that they simply adjust wherever you’re feeling pain or that everyone that sees them is getting the same adjustments. In reality, every adjustment is based on an evaluation of how your body moves, where your restrictions exist. And, most importantly, your adjustment is personal to your body and what it needs. In this interview, Dr. Nate Andersen explains how chiropractors determine what to adjust, why the area of pain isn’t always the source, and how they choose the right technique for each individual patient.

Most people know that chiropractors perform adjustments, but few understand what they're actually assessing before, during, and after treatment. We’re breaking down what a chiropractor is truly looking for during an adjustment with Dr Nate Andersen in Madison, WI.
