How Chiropractic Care Helps Expectant Moms Feel Their Best

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring its fair share of challenges—especially back pain. As your body changes to support your growing baby, discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis can arise.

Gentle, Effective Services for Moms-to-Be

Prenatal chiropractic methods focus on keeping the spine and pelvis properly aligned. These adjustments relieve back pain and help manage symptoms like sciatica and hip discomfort. Special techniques, like the Webster Technique, are designed specifically for pregnant women, addressing tension in the uterus and pelvis to create a more comfortable environment for both mom and baby.

Dr. Sandy Ager, our chiropractor, uses gentle tools and tables to accommodate your growing belly, ensuring every adjustment feels supportive and relaxing.

Supporting a Healthy Pregnancy and Better Sleep

Keeping your spine aligned isn’t just about easing pain—it may also improve your overall comfort and even help with sleep quality. Many moms find that regular adjustments, combined with pregnancy pillows for support, help them rest more easily at night. Sleep is essential for a healthy pregnancy, and chiropractic can play a key role in making that happen.

Practical Tips to Stay Comfortable Between Visits

Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference between chiropractic appointments. Prenatal yoga or simple stretching exercises help reduce muscle tension; maintaining good posture during daily activities supports your alignment. Adding these practices to your routine keeps you feeling your best throughout every stage.

Preparing for Labor and Beyond

Did you know that maintaining proper alignment can also influence your baby’s positioning and make labor easier? Misalignments in the sacrum can create uterine tension, much like twisting a washcloth. Gentle adjustments release that tension, helping your baby move into an ideal position for delivery.
