Supporting your comfort and wellbeing at every stage of pregnancy, with gentle, specialized chiropractic care designed for expecting mothers in Grand Rapids, MI.
See how chiropractic care can support a healthy pregnancy and easier birth.
Pregnancy is a profound, beautiful transformation. And a physically demanding one. As your body shifts to accommodate your growing baby, your spine, pelvis, and nervous system face new challenges every week. Chiropractic care helps your body adapt gracefully, so you can focus on what matters most.
A balanced pelvis gives your baby the best position for development and delivery. Misalignment can restrict the space available, chiropractic care helps keep everything in its optimal position.
Back pain, hip tension, sciatica, and round ligament pain are common, but they don't have to be your normal. Gentle adjustments relieve the pressure behind these symptoms naturally.
A properly aligned spine and pelvis supports more efficient labor. Many of our patients report shorter labors and smoother deliveries, and we love hearing those stories.

Hear from parents who’ve felt the difference in their pregnancy
I was referred to Clear Connections during my 2nd pregnancy. My first pregnancy (without chiropractic treatment) was miserable. I had a lot of ligament pain, pelvic pain, back pain, you name it. I was very skeptical of chiropractors coming in but being pregnant again I knew I had to try something to get some relief.
From my very first visit I could tell the staff at Clear Connections Chiropractic was different. They took the time to learn my goals and set me up with a plan. Through out my pregnancy I would feel ligament pain coming on but regular adjustments gave me the relief I needed.
I was also diagnosed with Placenta Previa early in my pregnancy and I know there isn’t anything that can cure Previa. However, I do believe that by helping my body to be in correct alignment, it was able correct it’s self and I avoid bed rest and a C-section delivery.
I would recommend chiropractic treatment to all my pregnant mommas!
Every pregnant mom should splurge and check out the massage packages available too! That on top of adjustments! Chefs kiss!*

I love the care and attention that Dr. Sean and Dr. Krystal give to their patients! I am a crossfitter and now pregnant with my second and they have helped me continue my training while pregnant and COMFORTABLY I might add! Without chiorpractic care I don’t think this would have been possible, as I was basically immobile with my first pregnancy by 20-25 weeks! During pregnancy, my center of gravity was better due to adjustments and my swelling was very slim to none, unlike my first which I was super swollen and painful. After delivery there was much less lower back pain than my first as well!
At 3 weeks postpartum I snapped back to working out so much easier due to immediate adjustments after delivery. Clear connections was a God send I didn’t know I needed at the time!

I’m Holly, and I’ve been coming to Clear Connections since June of 2014, when I was pregnant with Arya and dealing with really bad pelvic girdle pain. The first time I felt it, I thought something was severely wrong. That night was a 10/10, I couldn’t even get out of bed.
After my first adjustment, the relief was amazing. Now I’m 18 and a half weeks pregnant with baby number two and not having nearly as many problems. I recommend Clear Connections to every pregnant woman I know. It’s also helped Arya with constipation and sinus issues from allergies.

We are grateful for Kristen sharing her experience at Clear Connections! Her ultimate goal is to encourage other mama’s in the Grand Rapids community to pursue chiropractic care for themselves. Some people are not aware that the specialized pregnancy care at Clear Connections is safe, gentle, and effective for a healthy pregnancy.
Chiropractic is designed to improve your very hard-working nervous system during this precious time in your life.

It also gives the best opportunity for your developing baby to grow and thrive!

I have been to many chiropractor over the years and Clear Connections is my favorite. While I’ve found adjustments to be quite painful in the past, Dr. Sean and Dr. Krystal are very gentle. My adjustments are very relaxing and I’m always disappointed when they are over!
They have a wonderful whole-body approach and have helped me in many areas of my health, not just back pain (I especially love how much more easily I breath after having my sinuses adjusted!)
I started going to Clear Connections during my second pregnancy and now take my children there as well. It doesn’t hurt that they have a great play area set up for the children! It’s a great practice for the whole family!
— Cassie
Me and my husband have gone here for years. I got adjusted throughout my pregnancy and attribute my lack of pain and ease of labor to regular chiropractic care. Both of my children also get regular adjustments.
It has also helped greatly staying healthy and injury-free while doing crossfit workouts. Everyone at Clear Connections is so friendly and welcoming. The office is beautiful and has a child play area.
The doctors are very knowledgeable, both for sport performance and pregnancy/child chiropractic care. I would highly recommend this office to anyone.

I was searching on Google for a pregnancy chiropractor in Grand Rapids, and found Clear Connections, whose website was very friendly and welcoming.
I have suffered from migraines for over 14 years and lower back pain for over 10. There were times my migraines had sent me to the ER. My low back pain made walking difficult, and regular activities that required bending would sometimes make my entire back seize up and shoot pains down my leg.
I tried other chiropractors, multiple prescription migraine medications, and have spent lots of money on massages to help, but nothing seemed to really take the pain away for good. Both symptoms seemed to worsen with my current pregnancy.
After a few visits to Clear Connections my headaches were better, neck was less tense, and the pain in my lower back improved. I also noticed it helped with my acid reflux I was experiencing due to pregnancy, as well as the tenderness in my lower abdomen and pelvis.
The fact that the doctors create a care plan for a long-term fix shows how much they truly care about my health. I’m only 3 weeks into my care and have only noticed 2 or 3 manageable headaches compared to the 4-5 I was getting weekly. Because of this, I am no longer afraid to leave the house to hang out with friends or family. Clear Connections Chiropractic has definitely been a game changer for me and I recommend everyone give it a try, pregnant or not!

Yes, chiropractic care is widely considered safe throughout all stages of pregnancy when performed by a trained provider. We use specialized techniques and positioning to ensure your complete comfort and safety.
There’s no wrong time to start. Many patients begin pre-conception to establish alignment early, while others come in later for specific discomforts like back pain or sciatica. Even in the third trimester, regular adjustments can support optimal fetal positioning heading into an easier labor.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to reduce sacral subluxation and improve pelvic function during pregnancy. It’s commonly used to support optimal baby positioning and is a core part of our prenatal approach.
Absolutely. Pregnancy back pain, especially in the lower back, hips, and tailbone, is one of the most common reasons expecting mothers seek chiropractic care. Gentle adjustments relieve the mechanical pressure behind the pain without medication or invasive treatment.
Yes. The postpartum period is one of the most important times to care for your spine. As your body recovers and adjusts, especially with the physical demands of nursing and carrying a newborn, regular adjustments can speed recovery and help you feel like yourself again.
