Relieve Pregnancy Back and Shoulder Pain—Gentle Physiotherapy Care at J-CLINIC

Body Aches in Pregnancy

Your body and emotions undergo major changes during pregnancy.  As your hormones shift and your body (and baby) grows, it’s no surprise you might feel “off” and not your best.

You may develop lower back pain during pregnancy because hormones loosen your pelvis, your growing belly shifts your body’s center of gravity and may change your posture (arching the lower back is especially common), blood circulation slows, and you may feel more stressed.

 

 

Common aches and pains during pregnancy

  • Back pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Pain or numbness from your buttocks down your leg
  • Stiffness in your neck and shoulders
  • Joint pain
  • Leg cramps or muscle spasms
  • Swelling in your legs caused by poor circulation
  • Fatigue, stress, and trouble sleeping

 

 

Our Treatments for Pregnant Women

Our licensed physical therapists will examine you to identify the causes of your aches, then use gentle stretches and joint mobilization therapy to help you feel better.

Treating Shoulder/Neck Stiffness During Pregnancy

If your neck or shoulders are stiff, we work on relaxing the muscles at the base of your skull (called the suboccipital muscles) that connect to your neck.

Figure 3. An adult’s head weighs about 4–6 kilograms (9–13 pounds). The suboccipital muscles are always working to support that weight.

 

The suboccipital muscles are also linked to your eye movements. If you are less active in early pregnancy or spend long hours looking at your phone or tablet, these muscles can become tense.

 

By loosening these muscles, we can not only ease neck and shoulder stiffness but also relieve you from headaches, dizziness, eye strain, chronic fatigue, and symptoms caused by imbalances in your autonomic nervous system (the system that controls automatic body functions like heart rate) .

 

 

Treating Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy

A common type of lower back pain during pregnancy comes from sacroiliac joint dysfunction (a problem where the joint between the spine and pelvis doesn’t move as it should) .

 

You may feel pain not only in your lower back but also around your buttocks, pelvis, and from the base of your leg to the outer side of your thigh.

During pregnancy, your body releases the hormone relaxin, which loosens the sacroiliac joint and makes it easier to shift out of place. As your belly grows, your lower back also arches more, which can tilt your pelvis and cause pain.

 

 

If you have sacroiliac joint dysfunction, we use gentle exercise therapy (movement-based treatment) that is safe for pregnancy.

Precautions for Receiving Treatment

  • You can receive treatment after your 13th week of pregnancy.
  • If you have pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, bleeding, or risk of premature labor, you cannot receive treatment.
  • If you’re unsure whether it’s safe to receive treatment, please check with your obstetrician-gynecologist first.

 

If you’re pregnant and suffering from lower back pain, back pain, or neck and shoulder stiffness, contact us anytime through LINE, phone, our contact form, or Facebook.

Q. What types of injuries or symptoms are X-ray exams used for at J-CLINIC?

We may use X-ray exams if you have pain, numbness, or swelling in your joints or bones. For example, symptoms and injuries that may need an X-ray could include:

  • Pain with numbness that spreads down your arm or leg

  • Acute (sudden) or chronic joint pain and swelling

  • Difficulty moving your joints or walking

  • Aftermath of recent accidents like collisions, impacts, or falls

  • Ankle sprain

  • Unusual spine curvature

 

* J-CLINIC does not perform surgery or reductions for dislocations. If you suspect that your shoulder may be dislocated or fractured and soft tissues (such as skin, fat tissue, fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels) are injured, please first go to a hospital, as you may need a CT or MRI exam. J-CLINIC does not have the facilities or equipment for these exams.

 

• FAQ > Q. I hurt my right hand when I threw a punch in kickboxing. I suspect it might be fractured because it’s swollen, red, and hurts severely, and I can’t move it. Can I get treated at J-CLINIC?

• FAQ > Q. I hit my left shoulder hard while playing rugby. It may be dislocated. Can I be treated at J-CLINIC?

 

 

Q. My elbow hurts. I play golf often so it may be golf elbow. Do I need an X-ray exam?

If we suspect golf elbow, we will do an X-ray exam to examine the level of inflammation in the soft tissue. If the pain is severe, we may also perform an X-ray to check for bone abnormalities, just to be sure.

 

Q. How much does an X-ray cost?

650B/image (radiograph)

In cases of physical trauma and other injuries from blunt force impact, the doctor may determine that both X-ray and ultrasound exams are necessary.
The following is the treatment fee if you receive, for example, an X-ray exam, ultrasound exam, and physiotherapy treatment (for one injury site).

  • initial medical examination fee 500B
  • doctor’s consultation fee (including diagnosis and instructions) 700B
  • X-ray exam 650B/image (radiograph)*
  • ultrasound exam 500B
  • physical therapy treatment (electrotherapy and manual therapy) 1,600B

 

* The doctor will decide how many images (radiographs) are needed. For example, for an elbow injury, the doctor will take one image from the front and another from the side.
