Pregnancy & Chiropractic: Natural Relief for Common Symptoms!
Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful journeys, but let’s be real—those aches, pains, and discomforts can make it a bit challenging at times. From back pain to digestive issues, the changes your body goes through can feel overwhelming. But the good news is that chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and research-backed solution to help you feel your best throughout your pregnancy!
1️⃣ Low Back & Hip Pain:
Why It Happens:
As the body prepares for childbirth, many women experience low back pain, affecting up to 90% of pregnant women. This pain is often caused by changes in posture, the shift in weight distribution, and the increased looseness of ligaments in the pelvic area.

How Chiropractic Helps:
Chiropractic care can offer significant relief from low back pain by realigning the pelvis and easing pressure on the nervous system. Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and improve overall movement, so moms-to-be can enjoy their pregnancy without being held back by pain.

Lindsay, one of our patients, shared that after just a few chiropractic adjustments, she noticed a significant reduction in her low back pain. She was able to enjoy her daily walks again without discomfort—what a relief!
2️⃣ Sciatica
Why it Happens:
Sciatica is often caused by pressure from the growing uterus compressing the sciatic nerve, leading to sharp, radiating pain down the leg. This is a common issue during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters.
How Chiropractic Helps:
Chiropractic care targets the cause of nerve compression. Gentle spinal adjustments relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and inflammation. Studies show that up to 85% of women experience significant relief from sciatica with chiropractic care—without the need for medication.
One of our moms, Sarah, came in complaining of unbearable sciatic pain. After a few sessions of chiropractic adjustments, she was pain-free and could get back to her daily routine with ease.
3️⃣ Round Ligament Pain
Why it Happens:
As your pregnancy progresses, the ligaments supporting your uterus stretch rapidly, causing sharp pain and discomfort. This is called round ligament pain, and it’s common in the second trimester.
How Chiropractic Helps:
The Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic method, targets the pelvic muscles and ligaments to reduce tension. This technique helps restore pelvic balance, alleviating round ligament pain and improving overall comfort during pregnancy.
Jen, another one of our moms-to-be, had been struggling with round ligament pain. After a few Webster Technique adjustments, she felt a drastic reduction in discomfort, allowing her to enjoy her pregnancy with more comfort.
4️⃣ Heartburn & Digestive Issues
Why it Happens:
Pregnancy hormones and the growing baby can put pressure on the digestive system, often causing heartburn, bloating, and reflux.
How Chiropractic Helps:
Chiropractic adjustments help improve nervous system function, which in turn optimizes digestion and reduces reflux symptoms naturally. By relieving pressure on the digestive tract, chiropractic care can alleviate many common digestive issues during pregnancy.
One of our patients, Amanda, struggled with frequent heartburn during pregnancy. After incorporating chiropractic care, she noticed significant improvement in her digestion and a reduction in reflux symptoms.
