Prenatal Chiropractor

For many women, the idea of receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy may be new—but it’s a highly valuable and supportive component of prenatal wellness. Prenatal chiropractic care plays a vital role in promoting pelvic balance, reducing discomfort, and enhancing the body’s ability to adapt to the many changes of pregnancy. It also supports optimal nervous system function, which may contribute to a more comfortable and efficient birthing experience.
 
Our chiropractors use a gentle and safe approach that is specifically tailored to the needs of both mother and baby. We are Webster Certified, meaning we have completed advanced training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) focused on the unique biomechanics and physiology of pregnancy. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that helps reduce the effects of pelvic imbalance. When the pelvis is properly aligned, it can allow for better function of the uterine muscles and ligaments, creating an environment that may contribute to an optimal fetal position.
 
Research published through the ICPA has shown that balanced pelvic alignment may help reduce the need for medical intervention during labor and birth, supporting a more positive and empowered experience for expecting mothers.

In addition to our chiropractic expertise, our providers have completed the Spinning Babies® Practitioner Workshop, a continuing education program that emphasizes maternal body balance and movement. This training provides tools to help ease tension and promote comfort during pregnancy using gentle, evidence-informed techniques. Some of our most utilized and effective Spinning Babies® activities include Rebozo sifting, Side-lying Release, and the Forward-Leaning Inversion. These movements, when used at the appropriate time, may encourage optimal fetal positioning and help reduce discomfort or restrictions in the body that can impact labor.

The idea of working with a chiropractor during pregnancy may be new to some, but we believe it is essential during this important time of a woman’s life. Prenatal chiropractic care not only balances the mother’s pelvis reducing pain and improving her overall experience during her pregnancy, it also improves how the mothers body is communicating with the brain which can lead to a quicker and more comfortable childbirth experience.

Our providers gentle approach is safe for both mom and baby. We are Webster Certified practitioners, which means we have completed extensive coursework focused on the care and needs of pregnant women. This patient-specific way of assessing and caring for pregnant women aims to provide a more comfortable pregnancy and reduces the risk of potential intervention during birth by balancing the joints, ligaments, and muscles of the pelvis.

Our providers have also completed the Spinning Babies practitioner workshop. This education allows us to assist mothers naturally by means of body balancing activities designed to ease the mother. Our favorite Spinning Babies activities are rebozo sifting (or the jiggle), side-lying release, and the forward-leaning inversion. It has been shown that when applied at the appropriate time during a woman’s pregnancy, these activities may reduce the need for further medical intervention during childbirth.
