Chiropractic Care for Pregnant Mothers: Supporting a Healthier Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings significant changes to a woman's body, including postural shifts, hormonal changes, and increased stress on the spine and pelvis. Chiropractic care offers a safe, natural way to support a more comfortable pregnancy and optimize pelvic alignment for both the mother and baby.

According to the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can help:
Reduce Pregnancy Discomfort
Many expecting mothers experience lower back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica due to increased weight, postural changes, and ligament laxity. Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate these discomforts by restoring proper spinal and pelvic alignment.
Improve Pelvic Balance & Baby Positioning
Misalignment in the pelvis may lead to intrauterine constraint, limiting space for the baby to move into the best possible position for birth. Chiropractic care helps ensure optimal pelvic alignment, which can encourage better fetal positioning.
Support a Smoother Labor & Delivery
Studies cited by the ICPA suggest that chiropractic care during pregnancy can help reduce labor time and the need for interventions by improving nerve function and pelvic biomechanics.
Enhance Nervous System Function
The nervous system plays a key role in regulating pregnancy hormones and uterine function. Chiropractic adjustments support better nervous system communication, contributing to overall maternal and fetal health.
The Webster Technique: Optimizing Pelvic Balance
One of the most well-known chiropractic techniques for pregnant mothers is the Webster Technique, developed by Dr. Larry Webster and recognized by the ICPA. This specialized chiropractic approach focuses on aligning the sacroiliac joints and pelvis while relieving tension in the surrounding ligaments.
At JustChiro, we utilize the Webster Technique to help pregnant mothers achieve optimal pelvic alignment, reduce discomfort, and support a healthier pregnancy and birth experience. This gentle, targeted approach helps balance the pelvis and improve function, ensuring both mom and baby have the best possible conditions for a smooth delivery.
Why It Matters:
Misalignment in the pelvis can create tension in the uterus and restrict fetal movement. The Webster Technique aims to restore balance, helping the baby assume the best position for birth.
Is It Safe?
Yes! The ICPA promotes the Webster Technique as a gentle, non-invasive, and safe chiropractic method for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy. Chiropractors trained in this technique use specific adjustments and soft tissue release to support pelvic function without any forceful manipulation.
