benefits of

chiropractic care

during pregnancy

For pregnant women, chiropractic care may:

Reduce lower back pain commonly associated during pregnancy due to weight gain, hormonal changes, and postural shifts.
Relieve neuromuscular stress caused by changes before and after pregnancy, according to a study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.
Improve mobility and flexibility to help maintain a healthy posture and manage discomfort during pregnancy.
Control symptoms of nausea by fixing misalignment that can cause digestive issues. (Chiropractic adjustments aimed at improving your overall well being might indirectly ease nausea symptoms, although more studies are needed.)
Potentially shorten labor times, as evidenced by one study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine that found, on average, a 25 percent decrease in labor times for first-time mothers, and a 31 percent decrease in labor times for mothers who have given birth before.
Maintain a healthier pregnancy by improving your overall wellbeing and health.

what to expect from

chiropractic care

during pregnancy

Expect a tailored approach from our chiropractic team focused on addressing your specific needs. Our team will begin with a consultation, reviewing your medical history, pregnancy details, and any pain points you’re experiencing. We’ll also conduct a physical exam to assess your posture, mobility, and joint function.

Based on this information, our team develops a treatment plan that may involve gentle adjustments to your spine and joints. We may also recommend exercises and stretches to help improve your flexibility and manage pain at home. It’s important to remember that chiropractic care is meant to complement your regular prenatal care, not replace it.

If you’re pregnant and interested in chiropractic care, schedule an appointment. We’d love to meet you and assess how chiropractic care can help with your pregnancy journey.

questions

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is considered safe for most pregnancies. It’s important to review the details of your unique situation to be able to choose the most appropriate treatment for your condition.

Does Insurance Cover Chiropractic During Pregnancy?

Coverage for chiropractic care during pregnancy is dependent on your insurance plan. Do not hesitate to contact us and we can check your insurance benefits for you prior to your appointment.

Can I Lay On My Stomach at the Chiropractor While Pregnant?

It is totally fine to lay face down on the table up to a certain point. When you are no longer able to lay face down, our chiropractors will modify their technique to accommodate a new and more comfortable position for you.

What Should I Wear to a Chiropractor When Pregnant?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement, especially around your belly. This could include workout clothes, leggings or sweatpants with a loose-fitting top. It’s best to avoid tight clothing that might restrict your range of motion.
