Finding Comfort During Pregnancy

Growing a baby is miraculous work, but it can also be physically demanding. As your body changes to accommodate your growing little one, you may experience back pain, sciatica, pelvic discomfort, or round ligament pain. Your center of gravity shifts, your ligaments loosen, and your spine works overtime to adapt.

Gentle chiropractic care during pregnancy helps ease these common discomforts while supporting optimal pelvic alignment. When your pelvis is balanced, there’s more room for Baby to move into the best position for birth, which can contribute to a smoother delivery. We use specialized techniques that are safe for you and your baby, with adjustments tailored to each trimester.

Supporting Your Postpartum Recovery

After you’ve welcomed your baby, your body needs time and support to heal. The physical demands of delivery, whether vaginal or cesarean, combined with the new challenges of nursing, carrying, and caring for your newborn, can leave you feeling depleted and uncomfortable. Postpartum chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment, reduce pain from repetitive movements like feeding and holding your baby, and support your body’s natural healing process.

Many new parents don’t realize how much tension they’re holding in their neck, shoulders, and upper back until they receive care. By addressing these imbalances early, you can prevent chronic pain and have more energy to enjoy this precious season with your little one.

Gentle Beginnings for Your Baby

Even the smoothest birth can place stress on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. The journey through the birth canal, or the necessary interventions during delivery, can create tension that affects how your baby feels and functions.

Pediatric chiropractic care uses extremely gentle, light-touch techniques that are specifically designed for infants. It’s the same pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato, nothing more. This gentle approach can help with common infant challenges like difficulty latching for breastfeeding, digestive issues, colic, reflux, and restless sleep. When your baby’s nervous system is functioning optimally, their body can relax, digest, and develop as nature intended.

Supporting Healthy Development in Children

As your child grows, their nervous system continues to develop and adapt. Whether they’re learning to crawl, walk, or navigate the physical demands of play and school, gentle chiropractic care supports healthy development at every stage.
Using techniques like Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and B.E.S.T., we can also help children process stress and emotional challenges, supporting better sleep, behavior, and overall well-being. Our approach is always gentle, safe, and tailored to your child’s unique needs.

Care for the Whole Family

Pregnancy, birth, and early parenting are incredible experiences that deserve compassionate, specialized support. When both the parent and the child receive care that calms the nervous system and promotes balance, the entire family benefits. Better sleep, easier feeding, reduced pain, and improved resilience become possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start chiropractic care during pregnancy?

You can begin care at any point during pregnancy, and many women benefit from starting in the first trimester. Regular adjustments throughout pregnancy help keep you comfortable and support optimal positioning for Baby.

Is it safe to adjust a newborn?

Yes, it’s completely safe. Pediatric adjustments are incredibly gentle, about the pressure you’d use to check if a tomato is ripe. We use specialized techniques designed specifically for infants, and many babies actually relax and sleep better afterward.

Can chiropractic help with breastfeeding challenges?

It can. Tension in a baby’s neck, jaw, or spine from birth can make latching difficult. Gentle adjustments help restore proper movement and nervous system function, which often improves feeding. We’ve helped many nursing parents and babies find relief.
