Clinical Question
Does chiropractic care decrease LBP in pregnant women safely and effectively?
Search Strategy
Discussion
The number of studies that I reviewed with my current search terms were not high. They all reported
that spinal manipulation and manual therapies were effective and safe for pregnant women at any time
of pregnancy. The covered studies all had no adverse effects or the effects were very minor. Improved
search terms would possibly broaden the scope of studies that could be included to answer the clinical
question.
The bottom line is that chiropractic management of low back pain during pregnancy is not only safe but
very effective.
