Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic

Guiding You Through Pregnancy and Beyond

Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring profound changes to how your body moves, stabilizes, and recovers. Chiropractic care during these stages focuses on supporting your body as it adapts, helping manage discomfort, improve function, and restore confidence in movement.

At Naturally Balanced, pregnancy and postpartum care are viewed as part of the same continuum. Whether you’re preparing your body during pregnancy or rebuilding strength and stability after birth, care is guided by thoughtful assessment, gentle techniques, and an understanding of how pregnancy, birth, and recovery shape the whole body.

Care is provided by a chiropractor who is a certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, trained in the Webster Technique, with advanced training in Cesarean recovery.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy changes how your body moves, balances, and supports itself. As your center of gravity shifts and hormones increase joint mobility, new demands are placed on your spine, pelvis, and nervous system. These changes can contribute to discomfort, altered movement patterns, and increased strain as pregnancy progresses.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting your body as it adapts. Care is gentle, pregnancy-appropriate, and guided by a thorough understanding of the physical changes that occur throughout each trimester. The goal is to help reduce strain, improve movement efficiency, and support comfort as your body prepares for birth.

At Naturally Balanced, pregnancy chiropractic care is individualized and responsive—adjusting as your body changes, symptoms evolve, and needs shift over time.

You may benefit from our support if you’re experiencing:

  • Low back or hip pain related to pregnancy changes
  • Pelvic discomfort, including pubic symphysis pain or instability
  • Rib or mid-back tension as your body adapts to your growing baby
  • Sciatic-type symptoms, including pain, tingling, or discomfort down the leg
  • Neck, shoulder or jaw tension
  • Round ligament or abdominal discomfort
  • A desire to prepare your body for postpartum recovery and support a smoother transition after birth
  • Uncertainty around how to adapt or support your current exercise routine during pregnancy

Chiropractic techniques used during pregnancy are adapted for comfort and safety, with positioning and approaches that respect both parent and baby. Care is tailored to each trimester and adjusted based on how you’re feeling at each visit.

Care that supports your body through change

Chiropractic Care After Birth

The postpartum period brings its own set of physical demands. After birth, your body begins recovering while also adapting to feeding, carrying, disrupted sleep, and new movement patterns. These changes can affect how your spine, pelvis, core, and nervous system function together.

Postpartum chiropractic care focuses on supporting recovery, restoring movement efficiency, and addressing areas of strain that often develop during pregnancy and early parenting. Care is gentle, individualized, and guided by how your body is healing and adapting.

At Naturally Balanced, postpartum care recognizes that recovery is not linear and that symptoms may show up weeks, months, or even years after birth.

You may benefit from our support if you’re experiencing:

  • Low back or pelvic pain following pregnancy or birth
  • Neck and shoulder tension related to feeding, holding, or carrying your baby
  • Headaches, mid-back, or rib pain as your body adjusts postpartum
  • Core weakness, abdominal separation (diastasis recti) or a sense of instability
  • Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, including leaking, pain, or a feeling of heaviness
  • A need for support with post-Cesarean recovery, including scar tissue mobility and healing
  • Difficulty returning to exercise, daily activities, or movement in a way that feels comfortable and supported

Postpartum chiropractic care is always guided by your stage of recovery, birth history, and current symptoms. Techniques are adapted to support healing and respect your body’s pace.
