How Does Chiropractic Care Help Pregnant Women?
Chiropractic care promotes holistic wellness for both mother and baby by supporting the body’s natural ability to
adapt and recover from the demands of pregnancy and childbirth.
As the body changes to accommodate the growth of the baby, supporting that process is crucial.
Pregnancy changes the way you
move your body.
Your body is conditioned to expect certain ways of moving so any changes to how you typically twist or turn can create tension. Chiropractic treatments can alleviate that tension and provide balance as you establish new patterns of movement.
Pregnancy hormones loosen
your ligaments.
In preparation for the growing baby, the pregnancy hormone Relaxin “relaxes” your ligaments and soft tissues. This makes your body more prone to misalignments, but also more responsive to gentle adjustments that can restore alignment and eliminate pain.

What Our Patients Say
“I went to see Paul during my second pregnancy after exhausting all other options (pelvic floor therapy, massage, acupuncture) for my extreme pelvic floor pain. I was very skeptical that a chiropractor could help with the type of pain I had, but Paul was the magic fix.

Hormonal changes during, and after, pregnancy can trigger headaches and migraines in some women. When hormone levels fluctuate, particularly estrogen, this can cause changes in the brain and blood vessels that contribute to headaches and migraines. The emotional stress of pregnancy and postpartum recovery can also impact chemical levels in the brain, like serotonin and dopamine, which can cause headaches and migraines
