As a doctor of chiropractic that specializes in the care of the spine during and after pregnancy, I want to paint a larger picture of what exactly happens to the pelvis and lower back of pregnant women. How does the health and balance of these areas affect the mother and the baby? Profoundly, at least. In traditional terms, if you are pregnant “they” weigh you, measure you, assess the position of the baby, and begin intervening to ensure that you have a “normal” labor and delivery. Why then do we have a cesarean rate that approaches 50%?
