Pregnancy is an exciting journey filled with changes. As your body prepares to nurture new life, it undergoes major shifts that can lead to discomfort, posture changes, and even misalignment in the spine and pelvis. Prenatal chiropractic care offers a natural, safe way to support your body throughout these changes and promote a healthier pregnancy for both you and your baby.
Prenatal chiropractic care helps maintain proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, reducing the pressure on nerves and muscles that can lead to back pain, hip discomfort, and sciatica. Gentle adjustments also improve overall mobility and balance, which can ease many of the common discomforts of pregnancy, such as:
• Lower back and pelvic pain
• Round ligament discomfort
• Sciatic nerve irritation
• Postural strain
• Difficulty sleeping
Regular chiropractic care can also help improve nervous system function, which supports better communication between your brain and body - a key component of a healthy pregnancy.
At Costa Lifestyle Medicine, we use the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic method designed to support pelvic balance and reduce tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments. This gentle, non-invasive technique helps create more space within the pelvis, which can encourage optimal fetal positioning and may contribute to a smoother labor and delivery process.
Many women begin prenatal chiropractic care as soon as they find out they’re pregnant - but it’s never too late to start. The earlier you begin, the more time your chiropractor has to support your body through each stage of pregnancy. Early care helps prevent misalignments before they become problematic, while later care can still offer significant relief and help prepare your body for labor.
We personalize your treatment plan based on your stage of pregnancy, health history, and specific symptoms. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing your due date, our team will create a plan tailored to your comfort and wellness goals.
Prenatal chiropractic care is a proactive and natural way to support your changing body and prepare for a healthy delivery. From relieving discomfort to promoting better alignment and balance, chiropractic care helps you feel your best throughout your pregnancy journey.
