Chiropractic physicians are uniquely positioned to care for pregnant patients experiencing low back and pelvic girdle pain through a natural, conservative approach. Yet many providers still have questions about which techniques, exercises, and care strategies are safe and appropriate throughout pregnancy.
This session will explore evidence-based, multimodal management of musculoskeletal pain in pregnancy, including clinical decision-making around adjustment techniques such as Webster, sideline, and drop-piece methods. Attendees will also review safe exercise recommendations, patient screening considerations, and current research that is reshaping long-held assumptions about activity levels during pregnancy.
By better understanding best practices and safety guidelines, providers will gain confidence in treating pregnant patients, addressing common concerns, and supporting women in staying active, strong, and comfortable throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
