Pregnancy brings rapid physical, hormonal, and structural changes to a woman's body. Prenatal chiropractic care at Foundations Family Chiropractic utilizes the Webster Technique to maintain proper pelvic alignment, relieve pregnancy discomfort, and optimize uterine space for baby. Postpartum care focuses on restoring pelvic stability, easing nursing posture strain, and supporting nervous system recovery after delivery.

Common Symptoms Addressed

• Sciatica and shooting leg pain
• Round ligament pain and sharp lower abdominal pull
• Low back pain and pelvic girdle dysfunction
• Pubic symphysis discomfort (SPD)
• Poor sleep and joint stiffness during pregnancy
• Postpartum neck, upper back, and shoulder strain from feeding

How Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractic Care Helps

As the body releases relaxin, one of the hormones associated with pregnancy, pelvic joints become looser, often causing misalignments that stress surrounding ligaments and nerves. Utilizing gentle, pregnancy-safe tables and pillows, we align the sacrum and pelvis while releasing soft tissue tension. This creates more comfort for mom, supports optimal fetal positioning, and helps ease the physical transition into postpartum healing.
