Ever since the twins were born, I've had UGLY problems with my back. That's not surprising since I'm 5'1" and they were both over 6lbs. Also, my tail bone broke when I was pregnant, and now I'm beginning to think I'm going to spend my LIFE walking around with a stupid doughnut pillow. It's gotten bad enough that I've decided to break down and see a chiropractor, which I have NEVER done before, to see if I can get some relief if I can get my hips and back into alignment (I'm relatively sure that at some point my hips were at the same level on each side, at least I think so...I was looking in the mirror and realized that just isn't the case anymore--I almost hemmed my dress crooked LOL) Has anyone else had post pregnancy back problems, and if so how did you treat them? Any thoughts on chiropractors from someone with experience with them??

I've always seen a chiroprator even when I was PG. He really helped me it took a lot of the pressure off my back(I'm 5'3 and my DD was 6 pounds). So I would say go for it! You will feel tons better!

feel better,

Angela,

I have scoliosis (curviture of the back) and have had back problems since high school. I started seeing a chiropractor 3 years ago and am so glad I did!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you have to be careful who you see. The first one I saw (I went there twice) made my back worse than it was before so I was scared to go back to another. My dh talked me into seeing his chiropractor and I was so glad I did.

If they do something that hurts tell them and also tell them if aren't getting better!

Good luck.

Tanya
