Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Comfort, Balance, and a Better Birth Experience


Prenatal chiropractic care is more than just pain relief—it’s about helping your body adapt to change and prepare for delivery. Benefits may include:

  • Reduced lower back and pelvic pain

  • Improved posture and mobility

  • Fewer sleep disruptions

  • Easier breathing and digestion

  • Greater balance and pelvic alignment

  • Potential for shorter labor and smoother birth outcomes



Why Choose Prenatal Chiropractic?

As your baby grows, your body experiences new pressure on your spine, pelvis, and joints. Chiropractic care during pregnancy:

  • Helps realign your spine and hips

  • Supports nervous system communication

  • Reduces inflammation and tension

  • May help baby get into optimal position for delivery



Common Issues We Help Relieve

Our care is designed to ease some of the most frustrating pregnancy-related discomforts, including:

  • Lower back pain

  • Hip tightness and pelvic discomfort

  • Sciatica and nerve pain

  • Round ligament pain

  • Postural shifts

  • Rib and upper back tightness

  • Sleep position-related pain



Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Absolutely—when performed by a trained prenatal chiropractor.


We use specific techniques and tools designed to keep both you and your baby safe and comfortable. Chiropractic during pregnancy is gentle, low-force, and always tailored to your trimester and body changes.



Our Gentle, Specialized Approach

We tailor every visit to your unique pregnancy stage and needs. What you can expect:

  • Special pregnancy pillows and tables to comfortably support your belly

  • No forceful moves—just gentle adjustments and soft tissue support

  • Focus on pelvic balance and core stability to reduce pain and support baby’s positioning



Comfort-First Care for Pregnancy Aches and Pains

Pregnancy changes everything—your posture, your balance, and your comfort. Here’s how we help support moms-to-be:

  • Webster Technique – Realigns the pelvis and eases tension in the uterus. Helps baby settle into a better position, too.

  • Pelvic Blocking – A gentle, non-force approach to relieve pressure and improve balance.

  • Gentle Pelvic and Lumbar Adjustments – Eases low back pain and sciatica in pregnancy.

  • Side-Posture Adjustments – Tailored to growing bellies. Comfortable and safe.

  • Soft Tissue Release for Round Ligament Pain – Eases that sharp abdominal twinge you might feel.

  • Postural & Pelvic Floor Exercises – Helps support your spine and prep for labor.

  • Breathing & Core Support Coaching – Breath is your secret weapon in labor. We’ll show you how to use it.

  • Low-Force Instrument Adjustments – Precision adjustments using gentle tools.



Support for Every Trimester

Early Pregnancy: We focus on postural support and preventing early imbalances before they cause pain.


Second Trimester: As the baby grows, we target spinal and hip alignment to relieve tension and support mobility.


Third Trimester: We prioritize pelvic alignment to prepare your body for labor and delivery—and to keep you as comfortable as possible in the final stretch.



What to Expect at Your Prenatal Chiropractic Visit

Comfort, Compassion, and Clarity From the Start


Your visit will always begin with a conversation—we want to hear how you’re feeling and what your body is telling you.


Then, we’ll perform a gentle assessment and provide customized, pregnancy-safe care that’s designed to help you walk out feeling lighter, looser, and more supported.


You’ll never feel rushed, pressured, or uncomfortable—we make sure everything we do feels good to you and your baby.
