Is it safe to go to a chiropractor to treat whiplash during pregnancy. I had an accident as a passenger of a car that was built from behind at a stoplight. Two days later my doctor examined me areas that I complained , had neck and back pain plus stiffness.

The chiropractic treatment is safe and usually effective for various ailments that arise during pregnancy. If you have found one that works with pregnant women , stick with it . Chiropractic treatment can not be recommended by your gynecologist due to ignorance of the underlying principles ( I also do not know much but I'm not a chiropractor ) . Other causes are the liability concerns , mainly because we do not understand the principles of chiropractic. In my practice I am in favor of chiropractic, and indeed encouragement to women to seek chiropractic treatment when other treatments do not work, such as with sciatica or during pregnancy . Good luck , I hope you find better !
