Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: Safe, Gentle, and Effective

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but it’s not without its challenges. Many women experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, and mobility issues as their bodies change. At Vert Chiropractic, we offer gentle, safe chiropractic care tailored specifically for expectant mothers.

Why Pregnancy Affects the Spine and Joints:

As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts and your body releases hormones that loosen ligaments. This often leads to:

• Lower back pain

• Sciatica

• Pelvic misalignment

• Postural changes

• Sleep disruption due to discomfort

  
  

The Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care:

Dr. Hewitt and our team use specific techniques designed for pregnancy, with benefits including:

• Reduced Back and Hip Pain: Gentle adjustments relieve tension and pressure.

• Better Pelvic Alignment: Helps support optimal fetal positioning and may contribute to a smoother labor and delivery.

• Improved Mobility and Sleep: Many patients report feeling more comfortable and better able to rest.

• Drug-Free Pain Relief: Avoid unnecessary medications by addressing the root causes naturally.

  
  

What to Expect at Vert Chiropractic:

We use pregnancy-safe tables, gentle techniques, and a personalized approach based on your stage of pregnancy and symptoms. We also offer stretching, postural guidance, and at-home tips to keep you comfortable between visits.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is widely considered safe for pregnant women and is endorsed by organizations like the American Pregnancy Association. As always, we recommend discussing any new treatment with your OB-GYN or midwife.
