Personalized chiropractic care with a focus on perinatal and pediatric patients. I am Webster certified and utilize a specific prenatal protocol that also incorporates a lot of soft tissue work for a truly comprehensive approach.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help During Pregnancy & Postpartum
Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum place major physical demands on the body. As your body changes to support a growing baby, and later recover from birth, mobility, alignment, and nervous system function can all impact how you feel and function.
Chiropractic care during the perinatal period focuses on helping the body move well, adapt to change, and feel more supported through pregnancy, birth, and recovery.
Common reasons patients seek care:During pregnancy:• Low back pain, pelvic pain, SI joint discomfort, hip pain• Round ligament pain or pubic symphysis discomfort• Rib pain or mid-back tension• Neck pain, headaches, or posture changes• Difficulty getting comfortable, sleeping, or moving easily• Pelvic tension or asymmetry affecting comfort and mobility• Breech or malposition concerns (supporting pelvic balance and mobility)
Postpartum:• Pelvic, low back, neck, or upper back pain (especially from feeding/holding baby)• Core and pelvic floor recovery support• Persistent discomfort after birth or C-section• Hip, rib, or SI joint pain• Feeling “off,” stiff, or not fully recovered after pregnancy and delivery
What treatment looks like:Care is individualized, gentle, and tailored to the stage you’re in- supporting pelvic mobility, alignment, comfort, and nervous system regulation throughout pregnancy and postpartum. I utilize a specific protocol with a heavy focus on soft tissue work, including dry needling, to truly address the tension patterns in your body.
Goal of care:To help you move better, feel more comfortable, support recovery, and better adapt to the physical demands of pregnancy, birth, and caring for your baby.
