Prenatal/Postnatal Adjustments
Chiropractic care can provide comfort during pregnancy, help reduce stress, help with positioning and movement of baby, decrease labor time and aid in recovery after birth.
Is chiropractic safe for me and my baby during pregnancy?
-
YES! We love working with expecting Mamas and helping care for you and your family as it grows! Chiropractic care has been proven to be beneficial for decreased labor time, as well as making delivery easier, faster and safer.
I have a pregnancy waddle, but that’s normal.

While it is normal to experience back pain and pubic bone pain during pregnancy, you don’t have to live with it and just endure. Your body is releasing a hormone called Relaxin, which is great to help make room for baby as well as aid in delivery, however, it also allows for more motion and movement to happen in the joints. Getting adjusted can help alleviate pain, increase range of motion and support proper motion of the joints. This allows other areas to relax and gives baby more room and freedom for movement in the womb.
“To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched – along with body – making pregnancy a time of transition, growth and profound beginnings.”
- Anne Christian Buchanan
