Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Empowering your pregnancy with education, comfort, and aligned care

Pregnancy is a season of transformation — physically, emotionally, and structurally. As your body adapts to support new life, it’s doing an incredible amount of work. These changes are powerful, but they can also bring discomfort, misalignment, and tension that affect how you move, sleep, and feel.

At AltaVie Health, we offer chiropractic care specifically tailored to the needs of pregnancy, helping your body stay balanced, supported, and better able to meet the demands of this season with ease.

How Pregnancy Impacts the Body

As baby grows, your body shifts in beautiful and complex ways. These include:

Increased joint mobility and ligament laxity from hormonal changes
Expansion through the pelvis and ribs
Shifts in spinal tension
Tension in the soft tissues and nervous system

These adaptations are normal, but they can create discomfort in the low back, hips, pelvis, ribs, and neck. Many women also notice changes in sleep, digestion, or energy levels.

Our chiropractic approach is centered around understanding these changes and supporting them through every stage of pregnancy.

Safe, Specialized Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe, gentle, and specifically adapted to your body’s changing needs. At AltaVie Health, we use:

Custom prenatal setups with belly-supportive pillows and adjustable tables
Low-force, comfortable adjustments that honor the sensitivity of your joints and tissues
Webster Technique, a method focused on pelvic balance and easing soft tissue tension for both comfort and optimal fetal positioning

Every visit is grounded in clinical experience, clear communication, and consent. We work with your body, not against it.

What Chiropractic Care Offers During Pregnancy

Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about managing discomfort, but also supporting the body’s ability to function and adapt.

Here’s what our care focuses on:

  • Support for Common Pregnancy Discomforts
    Gentle adjustments can help ease tension and pain in the low back, hips, pelvis, ribs, and neck. We often work with people experiencing round ligament tension, sciatica, rib discomfort, or pubic symphysis pain.
  • Pelvic Balance and Mobility
    We use the Webster Technique to assess and support pelvic balance. A balanced pelvis helps create more space for baby, supports better movement patterns, and can contribute to more ease throughout pregnancy and birth preparation.
  • Nervous System Support
    Your nervous system plays a key role in how you feel, move, and rest. Chiropractic care helps reduce tension and improve communication within the body, supporting better sleep, digestion, and stress response.
  • Support for Baby’s Position
    Pelvic and soft tissue balance can influence how baby settles and moves. Many women report increased comfort, smoother movement, and more connection with their body after consistent chiropractic care.

Care Through Every Trimester

Each stage of pregnancy brings unique changes. Our care evolves with you, from first trimester through the final weeks of preparation.

Early pregnancy: We support the foundational shifts in posture, balance, and energy. Focusing on keeping your body mobile and pain-free, to keep you as active as possible.
Second trimester: As your belly grows and mobility changes, we help you adapt with ease.
Third trimester: We focus on comfort, alignment, and birth preparation to support your goals and help you feel grounded.

We also collaborate with your birth team and other care providers to make sure your support is cohesive and aligned.

Your Experience Matters

Pregnancy can feel both magical and overwhelming. It’s common to wonder what discomfort is “normal” and what you’re simply expected to push through.

Our role is to offer support, clarity, and care that meets you where you are. Whether you're experiencing specific pain or just want to feel at ease in your body, we’re here to support you.
