What Does a Chiropractor Do During a Prenatal Care Visit?

Pregnancy is a time of tremendous physical and hormonal changes, many of which can lead to discomfort or strain on the body. As the baby grows and the body prepares for birth, many expectant mothers experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, and general misalignment. Chiropractic care during pregnancy offers a safe and natural way to help manage these changes. At Integral Chiropractic, our prenatal care is tailored to support both mother and baby through each stage of pregnancy.

Customized Treatment Plans

Every pregnancy is different, which is why a prenatal chiropractic visit at Integral Chiropractic starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll review your health history, discuss current symptoms, and evaluate posture, gait, and spinal alignment. Based on this assessment, a personalized care plan will be developed to support your pregnancy journey and prepare your body for labor.

A Focus on Alignment and Comfort

During a prenatal chiropractic visit, the primary goal is to maintain proper spinal and pelvic alignment. This helps reduce stress on the nervous system and supports overall wellness for the mother. Misalignments in the spine or pelvis can contribute to common pregnancy complaints such as:

• Lower back pain

• Hip and pelvic discomfort

• Sciatica

• Postural issues

• Difficulty sleeping

Using gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques, the chiropractor will assess the alignment of your spine and pelvis and perform adjustments to alleviate any imbalances.

Additional Support

In addition to adjustments, your chiropractor may offer supportive guidance such as:

• Stretches and exercises to improve flexibility and strength

• Ergonomic tips for sleeping and sitting

• Nutritional recommendations to support musculoskeletal health

Our holistic approach is designed to enhance comfort, reduce pregnancy-related pain, and support optimal fetal development.
