🌟 Managing Sciatic & Gluteal Pain During Pregnancy! 🤰✨

Hey beautiful mamas-to-be! 👋 Dr. Jess here, and let's talk about something many of us experience during pregnancy—sciatic and gluteal pain. 🤯 But fear not, chiropractic care can be a game-changer! 💆‍♀️✨

✨️Why Does It Happen?

Sciatic nerve pain is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve; the nerve branches off of your spinal cord in your lower back and runs through your buttocks and down your legs. This very large nerve helps the lower part of your back, legs, and feet feel sensations like pressure, temperature—and yes, pain.

During pregnancy, sciatica can arise if your growing baby and expanding uterus put pressure on your sciatic nerve; pressure on this nerve can cause inflammation, irritation, and pain. You’ll know it’s sciatica if you’re experiencing shooting pains that start in your lower back, and radiate down your legs. Sciatica is most likely to occur later on in your pregnancy as your baby gets bigger and your centre of gravity shifts forward; leading to tightening of the glutes and increased pressure on and around the nerve.

Sometimes sciatica is caused by other conditions such as a disc herniation or a spasm of the piriformis muscle deep in your buttocks.

How Can Chiropractic Help?

🌈 Alignment: Gentle adjustments can help align your spine, reducing pressure and irritation on the sciatic nerve.
🌈 Muscle Release: Targeted techniques such as dry needling or ischaemic compression can ease tension in the gluteal muscles, providing relief.

At-Home Relief:

1️⃣ Cat-Cow Stretch: On hands and knees, arch and round your back, helping to alleviate pressure.
2️⃣ Pigeon Pose: A gentle yoga stretch to open up those hip muscles and stretch that piriformis.
3️⃣ Pelvic Tilts: Lying on your back, tilt your pelvis up and down to relieve tension.
4️⃣ Figure 4/ Seated piriformis stretch. MY FAVOURITE!!!🥇You can check out the video on how to do this on our insta feed.
