Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy changes posture, load, and movement through the spine and pelvis. Care should be adapted to the trimester, comfort, medical history, and the specific musculoskeletal concerns present.

Understanding the pattern

Symptoms can have more than one possible source. An in-person assessment helps connect what you feel with your history, movement, and relevant examination findings.

Common reasons people seek an evaluation

  • Lower-back, pelvic, or SI-joint discomfort during pregnancy
  • Hip or upper-back tension as posture and load change
  • Movement restrictions that affect sleep or daily comfort

What your first visit may include

  • Pregnancy-appropriate positioning and examination
  • Gentle techniques adapted to trimester and comfort
  • Coordination with an obstetric clinician or midwife when appropriate
