A thematic analysis was subsequently conducted on the primary data.
Online unstructured interviews were recorded, transcribed, and anonymised. A grounded theory approach was informed by a constructivist and interpretivist stance, which provided understanding and meaning to the pregnant women’s experiences. MethodsĪ qualitative case study approach with purposive sampling from 27 chiropractic practices was used. The aim of this study was to describe and explore the experiences of Australian pregnant women who seek chiropractic care for their current pregnancy-related low back and/or pelvic girdle pain. Although 19.5% of Australian pregnant women visit a chiropractor for pelvic girdle pain, little is known about the experience of pregnant women who seek this care. Pregnancy-related low back and/or pelvic girdle pain is common, with a prevalence rate of up to 86% in pregnant women.
