Why Prenatal Chiropractic

Your body is doing extraordinary work. Your spine should support it.

Pregnancy changes the center of gravity, increases lumbar lordosis, loosens the ligaments of the pelvis, and places growing pressure on the low back and sacroiliac joints. These are natural adaptations, but they can also create discomfort, tension, and structural stress that compounds over nine months.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting pelvic balance, spinal function, and comfort as the body changes through each trimester.

At Life Charge Chiropractic, Dr. Palmer uses modified positioning and adapted techniques appropriate for every trimester. Nothing is done without explanation. You will always understand what is happening and why before care begins.

What Expecting Moms Describe

Common pregnancy-related discomforts worth addressing.

Low back pain

One of the most common pregnancy complaints, often driven by shifts in pelvic alignment and increased lumbar curve as the baby grows.

Sacroiliac pain

The SI joint is particularly affected during pregnancy due to ligament laxity from relaxin. Chiropractic evaluation can address SI joint dysfunction specifically.

Round ligament pain

Sharp, pulling discomfort in the lower abdomen, often related to uterine ligament tension as the uterus expands. Pelvic alignment plays a role.

Upper back and rib tension

As the belly grows and posture shifts forward, the thoracic spine and rib joints can become restricted and uncomfortable.

Sciatica during pregnancy

Pregnancy-related posture and pelvic changes can contribute to sciatic-type discomfort. A careful chiropractic evaluation can help determine whether pelvic or lumbar mechanics may be part of the problem.

Neck tension and headaches

Postural changes and hormonal shifts during pregnancy can contribute to cervical tension and tension headaches that respond well to chiropractic care.

Our Approach

Safe, modified, and always explained before it happens.

Prenatal chiropractic care requires adapted techniques. Dr. Palmer uses modified positioning, including specialized cushions and table modifications, so that patients are comfortable throughout the session and no pressure is placed on the abdomen.

We discuss your trimester, current symptoms, obstetric care team, and what you are hoping to address with chiropractic care.
