Chiropractic care during pregnancy is wonderful for sciatic pain. I see my chiropractor every two weeks until about 30 weeks then I see him more often. Helps to make delivery easier with your hips aligned properly.

You can contact your doctor especially if the pain is too intense. Sciatic nerve pain is normal during pregnancy but if gets unbearable there may be a few things that can help.

Lower back pain is like an achy back and the sciatic nerve is a major nerve than runs from your back and down your leg to your feet. Sciatic nerve pain is more painful, sharp, shooting type pains that shoot from your lower back and down your leg. Some even feel it all the way to their feet when the get up or walk
