Is it ok to get chiropractic adjustments on my lower back?

I’m 27 weeks pregnant, and feeling good, other than the pain on the left side of my sacrum which won’t go away. I know that chiropractic has helped me before, but am wondering if it’s safe for the baby during pregnancy? Thanks!
No, they will not touch your back or hips while pregnant. They will adjust your neck and knees, but not your back. It’s to dangerous. I went through this to. My hips pop out of place alot, and talked to my chiropractor about it. He gave me simple excercises to try at home, but said he could not touch me.
As long as you go to one who’s trained in adjusting pregnant women, it’s perfectly safe. I’ve referred several mothers, including my wife, to chiropractors who specializes in pediatrics and obstetrics with great success. Here’s their main website to locate a certified chiropractor trained in peds and OB.
