Benefits of prenatal chiropractic adjustments

Prenatal chiropractic care plays a vital role in supporting a healthy, comfortable pregnancy and preparing the body for an optimal birth experience. As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, misalignments in the spine and pelvis can lead to discomfort, tension, and imbalance. Gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and relieve common pregnancy aches such as back pain, pelvic pressure, and sciatica.

Beyond physical relief, chiropractic care can promote better nervous system function, support optimal fetal positioning, and even contribute to a smoother labor and delivery. At our birth center, we believe in comprehensive, holistic care—and prenatal chiropractic is a key part of nurturing both mother and baby throughout this sacred journey.

Postpartum chiropractic care

After birth, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes as it begins to heal, realign, and adjust to the demands of motherhood. Postpartum chiropractic care offers gentle, targeted support to help restore balance, relieve tension, and encourage a quicker recovery.

Chiropractic adjustments can address common postpartum discomforts such as back pain, neck strain from breastfeeding or babywearing, and pelvic misalignment from labor and delivery. They also support nervous system function, improve posture, and can help ease emotional stress by promoting physical well-being. Whether you had a vaginal birth or cesarean, chiropractic care helps your body reset and recover—so you can feel stronger, more comfortable, and better supported as you care for your ne

Newborn chiropractic care

Birth is a physically intense experience—not only for the mother, but also for the baby. Even in the gentlest of births, the pressure and twisting involved in navigating the birth canal can place strain on a newborn’s spine, neck, and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments for newborns are extremely gentle, using light fingertip pressure to support the body's natural alignment and function.

Here are some reasons why newborns may benefit from chiropractic care:

  1. Birth Trauma Recovery: Difficult deliveries, long labors, cesarean births, vacuum or forceps assistance can create tension or misalignments in a baby’s spine and cranial bones.

  2. Nervous System Support: The spine houses the nervous system, which controls everything in the body. Proper alignment can promote better sleep, feeding, digestion, and overall development.

  3. Breastfeeding Challenges: Tension or misalignment in the neck or jaw can affect a baby’s ability to latch or nurse comfortably. Chiropractic care can help restore comfort and function.

  4. Colic, Reflux, or Digestive Issues: Gentle adjustments may relieve pressure on nerves connected to digestion, offering relief for colicky or fussy babies.

  5. Head Shape Concerns or Torticollis: Chiropractic care can support healthy head and neck movement, which helps address flat spots (plagiocephaly) or favoring one side (torticollis).

  6. Immune and Respiratory Support: A well-functioning nervous system supports the immune system and helps babies breathe and clear mucus more effectively.
