Pregnancy Chiropractic

When you’re pregnant, you want to avoid unnecessary use of medications. Moms want to be as healthy as possible when they’re expecting, knowing it will create the best environment for their baby to grow and develop. At Novo Chiropractic Sports & Wellness Center, we have the resources you need to move naturally through your pregnancy.

Pregnant women seek out our care for two primary reasons. One is that they’re in pain and searching for a solution. The other is that they’re healthy but want to prevent any symptoms like pain or dysfunction from occurring in the future. We can make sure your pregnancy is as stress-free as it can be!

The Webster Technique

We adjust and rehabilitate our pregnant patients as needed. There are also soft tissue techniques used to address muscles and ligaments that have changed with pregnancy. Many of our doctors have trained with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. We can use the Webster Technique to ensure that your pelvis is properly aligned.

During your adjustment, you can lie comfortably on your belly with no pressure added to your baby. We also have pregnancy pillows to assist with the adjustment. Low-force, hands-on adjusting is what we typically use for our prenatal patients. Occasionally, an adjusting instrument may be utilized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to be adjusted while pregnant?

Yes. We know you may feel nervous at first. Your chiropractor will fully explain what we’re doing and why. As your pregnancy evolves, we will adapt what we do, staying in tune with your needs.

How often should I see a chiropractor?

The frequency we’ll recommend for you depends on your situation. For example, someone who’s been under care for their whole life and becomes pregnant may not need to increase their visits. Another person who is six months along and in pain might need more frequent visits. We’ll work with you to determine the plan that’s suited to you and your lifestyle.

Do you see babies?

Yes! When your baby is born, we recommend you take them in to have their first checkup. We’re gentle with our youngest patients and will use only the softest touch with them.
