Prenatal Chiropractic Care
We Make Self-Care Simple
Pregnancy is an amazing time in a women’s life
You are undergoing a myriad of changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Many women look for alternatives to pain medications and drugs during pregnancy.
Seeing a prenatal chiropractor is a safe and natural alternative for pain relief to complement your other prenatal care, to help your system function at 100%.
Common issues that respond well to prenatal chiropractic care include:
◆ Low back pain
◆ Pelvic pain
◆ Pelvic heaviness or bulging
◆ Incontinence
◆ Diastasis recti
◆ Hip pain
◆ Rib pain
◆ Pubic symphysis pain
◆ Round ligament pain
◆ Fetal positioning concerns
How a prenatal chiropractor can help you during pregnancy
During pregnancy, your body's center of gravity changes. This can cause musculoskeletal tension and imbalance, resulting in pain or intrauterine constraint.
The Webster Technique is a pelvis balancing protocol designed to align your pelvis, hips, and low back, allowing for the uterus's proper function and supporting structures.
Visiting a chiropractor trained in prenatal care can help re-align the bones and joints of the pelvis, reduce muscular and ligament tension and eliminate this intrauterine constraint, reducing pain and discomfort for you, giving your baby the space to get into optimal birth positioning.
This protocol often reduces labor times and dystocia (i.e., difficult labor), allowing for less chance for intervention. Learn more about the Webster technique here.
Birth preparation for a natural childbirth
There are many options for expecting mothers to prevent complications in the pregnancy and prepare for natural childbirth or VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Many of these involve strengthening the core and pelvic floor to make carrying your growing baby easier on your body, as well as setting you up for faster postpartum recovery.
Our doctors also work with you on birth prep with what we call ‘Breathing Out Baby’ teaching you how to use your core muscles and pelvic floor to full advantage during birth and help prevent complications like stalled labor, tearing and prolonged pushing times.
Our providers are also trained in Spinning Babies — a movement-based approach to encouraging optimal fetal positioning throughout pregnancy. Rather than waiting to see how baby settles, Spinning Babies uses gentle techniques to balance the muscles, ligaments, and fascia of the uterus and pelvis, creating more space and freedom for baby to find the best position for birth. This is especially valuable for breech or posterior presentations, and can be used alongside Webster Technique chiropractic care for a comprehensive approach to birth readiness. When baby is well-positioned, labor tends to be more efficient — and your body gets to do what it was designed to do.
How can a prenatal chiropractor help you?
Holistic pregnancy care rooted in specialized training
Prenatal chiropractic care is about so much more than managing discomfort — though we do a lot of that too. It's about preparing your whole body, from the inside out, for one of the most physically demanding experiences of your life.
Our providers hold advanced certifications through the Institute for Birth Healing, an integrative training program that bridges chiropractic, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and somatic bodywork specifically for the childbearing year. This means your care isn't built on a general wellness model adapted for pregnancy — it's built from the ground up with birth in mind.
Through this lens, prenatal bodywork for labor prep goes beyond adjustments. We assess how your pelvis moves, how your breath connects to your core, how tension is held in your body, and what your nervous system needs to feel safe and supported as you move toward birth. We draw on Institute for Birth Healing techniques to release restrictions in the uterine ligaments and pelvic soft tissue, support optimal fetal positioning, and help your body build the coordination — not just the strength — it needs for labor.
Natural pain relief in pregnancy is one of the most common reasons patients find us, and we're proud to offer a genuinely holistic alternative to simply waiting it out. Whether you're dealing with low back pain, round ligament discomfort, pubic symphysis pain, or the general heaviness of a growing body, we identify the root cause and treat it — with hands-on care, movement guidance, and home strategies that actually fit into your life.
We also love advising you on safe, individualized exercise during pregnancy, because what's right for your body may look different from someone else's — and you deserve guidance tailored to you, not a generic handout.
Birth preparation with us is a process, not a single visit. The work we do together during pregnancy — aligning your pelvis, balancing your soft tissue, teaching your body how to breathe and bear down effectively — is the foundation for a stronger, more empowered birth experience and a smoother recovery on the other side.
