Chiropractors offer an effective and safe form of therapy for the relief of low back pain in pregnancy using spinal adjustments. In 1996, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners published in their journal Australian Family Physician - Effective treatment of low back pain in pregnancy. Their study was based on 20 women with low back pain. After 3 sessions of adjustments, 15 had no pain and the remainder reported a 50% improvement in their pain. This was achieved safely without the use of drugs.
