Pregnancy is an incredible life-changing experience; however, if you have scoliosis it may make your journey a little more difficult. Here are some ways you can manage scoliosis while pregnant:

  • Physical Therapy: Gentle exercises guided by a physical therapist can help to alleviate back pain and improve mobility. 
  • Wear a Maternity Support Belt: A maternity support belt can help to take pressure off of your lower back and provide stability. 
  • Focus on Nutrition: Maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D can help to support bone health.
