Pregnancy Back Pain Treatment Dubai | Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy

Pregnancy & Postpartum Back Care

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but the physical changes it brings can place enormous strain on your spine, muscles, and joints. Many women in Dubai experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, and posture issues during pregnancy and after childbirth.

At Franklin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we provide safe, specialised care to support women through every stage, helping relieve pain, improve posture, and promote a healthy, comfortable pregnancy and recovery.

Common Symptoms During & After Pregnancy

✔️ Lower back pain or stiffness
✔️ Pelvic pain or discomfort
✔️ Sciatica (pain radiating down the leg)
✔️ Postural changes causing neck or upper back tension
✔️ Weak core muscles post-delivery
✔️ Difficulty standing, walking, or lifting comfortably

What Causes Back Pain During & After Pregnancy?

Several factors contribute to back pain before and after childbirth:

• Hormonal changes that loosen ligaments and joints
• Weight gain placing extra strain on the spine
• Postural changes as your body adapts to pregnancy
• Weakened abdominal and pelvic floor muscles
• Labour and delivery strain
• Caring for a newborn, including feeding and lifting

Pelvic and lower back recovery after childbirth often benefits from gentle manual therapy alongside core retraining.
