Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy - You Deserve to Feel Good

Pregnancy is a time of incredible change and growth for both you and your baby. Many women ignore discomfort or tension, thinking it's just part of pregnancy or that chiropractic care isn't necessary because they're not in pain. But pain is actually the very last signal your body sends, a sign that your system is truly overloaded.

Prenatal chiropractic care supports your whole system - muscles, hormones, emotions, and daily stressors - so you can move through pregnancy with ease and step into birth feeling strong, aligned, and confident.

Many expectant mothers come in for support with moments that can make pregnancy uncomfortable or tricky, including:

• Feeling tension or discomfort while walking, bending, or sleeping
• Feeling sharp twinges in the pelvis or “lightning crotch” during movement
• Noticing their baby seems to favor one side in the belly
• Concern that their baby is in a breech or otherwise less-than-ideal position for birth
• Experiencing difficulty getting in and out of the car or moving comfortably around the house
• Stiffness or aches from posture changes and the growing belly

It's so much more than relieving low back pain, hip pain, sciatica. Even if you aren't experiencing these issues, prenatal chiropractic care supports your whole system so you can move with more ease, feel confident about birth, and know that taking care of yourself also supports your baby's health and growth.

During pregnancy care at Aura Chiropractic, you'll receive the Webster Technique, designed to support pelvic alignment and help your baby move into an optimal position for birth.

Longer sessions are available if you want extra time for body work for relaxation or if you'd like to go through some activities from The Miles Circuit together once you've reached 36 weeks.

If you're experiencing discomfort or have concerns about your baby's position, we'll typically recommend more frequent visits initially to provide the support you need. Even once discomfort has eased, ongoing visits may still be recommended to focus on birth outcomes, because how your body responds to daily stress, fatigue, and the many changes of pregnancy can still affect your baby's health and your birth experience.

Our mission is to support you and your baby so you can feel confident, comfortable, and prepared for birth.

At Aura Chiropractic, we are certified in the Webster Technique, a specialized analysis that focuses on balancing the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments. This technique is particularly valuable during pregnancy because:

• It supports optimal pelvic alignment to reduce tension and prepare for birth
• Gives baby the space and opportunity to settle into their best possible position naturally
• Does not flip or turn a baby - it creates space for natural positioning
• Can be beneficial throughout pregnancy, not just for breech presentations

After birth, many families continue care with gentle pediatric chiropractic to support their baby's development, comfort, and early milestones.

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, chiropractic care is safe throughout all stages of pregnancy when provided by a trained professional. Dr. Kelly is specially trained in prenatal care and adjusts techniques based on your stage of pregnancy.

What is the Webster Technique and will it turn my breech baby?
The Webster Technique does not flip or turn babies. Instead, it balances the pelvis and reduces tension, giving your baby the space and opportunity to settle into their optimal position naturally.

When should I start chiropractic care during pregnancy?
You can begin chiropractic care at any stage of pregnancy. Many women find it helpful throughout their entire pregnancy journey, from early discomfort to preparing for birth.

Can chiropractic care help with my specific pregnancy symptoms?
Yes, we commonly help with sciatica, low back pain, hip pain, round ligament discomfort, and other pregnancy-related conditions. Each treatment is personalized to your specific needs.

How often will I need to come in for treatment?
Treatment frequency depends on your symptoms, stage of pregnancy, and how your body responds to care. Dr. Kelly follows evidence-based recommendation guidelines and will work with you whether you have short-term goals (like addressing specific discomfort) or long-term goals (like ongoing support throughout pregnancy).
