Pregnancy changes your body fast. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, the hormone relaxin loosens your ligaments, and your lower back and pelvis take on new strain. Looking for a prenatal chiropractor in Chicago? At RESPORT, we help you stay comfortable and moving well through every trimester and into recovery after birth.
Our chiropractic care in Chicago is gentle, specific to your stage of pregnancy, and designed to work alongside the care you get from your OB or midwife — never to replace it.
When you see a prenatal chiropractor in Chicago at RESPORT, care focuses on the joints and muscles that work hardest during pregnancy. Expectant parents most often see us for:
Pregnancy back pain relief
Gentle adjustments and soft-tissue work can ease the strain on your lower back and pelvis, so standing, walking and sleeping feel easier. If back pain is your main concern, see how we approach lower back pain treatment.
Better pelvic balance and mobility
Keeping the pelvis and lower spine moving well helps you stay active, which supports your comfort and overall health throughout pregnancy.
Posture and movement you can keep up at home
Our chiropractors teach simple stretches and strengthening exercises — part of the physical therapy they provide — so you can manage discomfort between visits.
Preparing your body for birth and recovery
Many patients tell us they feel more comfortable and confident moving into the third trimester. Research on chiropractic and labor outcomes is still limited, so we focus on what we can measure: less pain and better function.
We coordinate with your OB or midwife when helpful and will always ask you to check with them if anything in your history calls for it.
Your body keeps changing after birth. Feeding, lifting a car seat and broken sleep all load the neck, upper back and wrists, while the pelvis and core recover. Our chiropractors combine adjustments with rehab exercises — including physical therapy with our chiropractors — to help you rebuild strength and get back to the activities you enjoy.

For most healthy pregnancies, gentle chiropractic care is considered safe. We review your history first, adapt every technique to your stage of pregnancy, and ask you to check with your OB or midwife if you have complications such as bleeding, placenta previa or preeclampsia.
You can start in any trimester. Many patients come in as soon as back or pelvic pain begins; others start in the second trimester to stay ahead of the changes.
Early in pregnancy, yes. Once lying face down is uncomfortable, we switch to side-lying or seated positions with supportive cushioning.
Coverage depends on your plan. Contact us and we’ll check your benefits before your first visit, or read more about chiropractic insurance.
Loose, comfortable clothing you can move in — leggings or joggers with a relaxed top work well. Avoid anything tight around your belly or hips.
Yes. We see patients after birth for neck, upper back, lower back and pelvic pain, and build a recovery plan around your schedule and healing.
