Discover What You Don’t Expect When You’re Expecting in Book by Dr. Brandie Elizabeth Keates

Every day, pregnant women come into Dr. Brandie Keates' chiropractic office in Wayne looking for relief. Her new book offers some advice on what they can do to feel better.

The most common complaint from expectant mothers, Keates said, is sciatica, because the increased weight at the front of a pregnant woman’s body can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, which runs down the legs all the way to the feet. Headaches are also a frequent symptom for pregnant women. Just because these conditions are common, she said, doesn’t mean they’re normal, or that women have to live with pain. Obstetricians often try and reassure women that everything is OK, but not all help women understand their options.
