WHY CHIROPRACTIC DURING PREGNANCY?
Pregnancy transforms your body—fast. As your baby grows, your spine, pelvis, and posture must adapt, often leading to back pain, pelvic discomfort, and nerve pressure. Gentle chiropractic care can ease these symptoms, improve alignment, and help prepare your body for delivery.
We support moms-to-be through each trimester with customized care that focuses on safety, comfort, and spinal balance.
COMMON ISSUES WE SUPPORT:
- Low back pain and stiffness
- Sciatica and leg pain
- Round ligament and pelvic tension
- Postural stress from weight shift
- Rib and mid-back tightness
- Neck discomfort, Headaches
- Baby in breech or non-optimal position (indirect support via pelvic balance)
IS CHIROPRACTIC SAFE DURING PREGNANCY?
Yes—when performed by trained chiropractors, it’s very safe. We use pregnancy-safe techniques, supportive pillows, and avoid any unnecessary twisting or pressure. Many women report easier pregnancies, improved sleep, and reduced discomfort. We even have a table designed specifically for pregnant moms to allow safe adjustments without pressure on the belly.
Our chiropractors are trained in techniques appropriate for all stages of pregnancy, including third-trimester care.
OUR APPROACH TO PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC:
