Support for the Back and Pelvic Pain That Comes With Pregnancy
As your body changes throughout pregnancy, shifting posture and loosening ligaments can put new strain on your lower back, hips, and pelvis. Prenatal chiropractic care is focused on relieving that discomfort with techniques suited to each stage of pregnancy, using specialized tables and positioning that keep pressure off the abdomen.
What We Treat
- Lower back pain that develops or worsens as pregnancy progresses
- Pelvic and hip discomfort, including pain with walking or turning over in bed
- Sciatic-type pain radiating into the hip or leg
- Rib and mid-back tension as posture shifts in later trimesters
Trimester-by-Trimester Care
Early in pregnancy, care often looks similar to standard adjustments with a few precautions. As your pregnancy progresses, positioning adapts — side-lying techniques and pregnancy support tables are used in the second and third trimesters to keep you comfortable and supported throughout the visit.
Working With Your Prenatal Care Team
Chiropractic care is meant to complement, not replace, the prenatal care you're receiving from your OB or midwife. We're glad to communicate with your provider if that's helpful, and we'll always ask about your pregnancy history before adjusting your treatment plan.
