Why You Might Want to See a Chiropractor During Pregnancy

August 20, 2025/in Uncategorized/by Jason Fox

Pregnancy is amazing—but let’s be honest, it can also be rough on your body. Between the growing belly, changing posture, and all the new aches and pains, it’s no surprise that many moms-to-be start looking for ways to feel more comfortable. That’s where chiropractic care can help

So, what exactly can chiropractic care do during pregnancy?

1. Helps with back and hip pain
One of the most common things I hear from pregnant patients is “My lower back is killing me.” As your body shifts to carry more weight (and in totally new places), your joints and muscles work overtime. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help ease that tension and get things back in alignment—so you can move, sleep, and feel better.

2. Keeps your pelvis aligned
This one’s really important, especially later in pregnancy. When your pelvis is in a good position, it gives your baby more room to move and helps encourage an ideal position for birth. It can even reduce the chance of baby being breech!

3. Supports your changing posture
As your center of gravity moves forward (hello, bump!), your posture naturally changes. This can cause discomfort and even affect your balance. Regular adjustments help support those changes and keep everything working together more smoothly.

4. Might make labour a little easier
While every birth is different, some research suggests that chiropractic care may help make labour shorter and more comfortable by keeping your pelvis and spine in a better position. And who wouldn’t want that?

5. It’s safe and gentle
Prenatal chiropractic care is super gentle, and everything is modified to keep you and your baby safe and comfy. We use special pregnancy pillows and techniques that work with your changing body—not against it.


When should you start?

You can start chiropractic care at any point in your pregnancy—early, mid, or even right near the end. The sooner you start, the more support we can offer as your body changes.


Look for a chiropractor who works with pregnant patients

Not all chiropractors specialize in prenatal care, so it’s a good idea to find someone who has training in this area — Like our Chiropractors! They’ll know how to safely support your body and tailor your care based on how far along you are.


Bottom line:
Chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about pain relief—it’s about helping you feel your best while your body does this incredible thing. Whether you’re dealing with sore hips, trying to get better sleep, or just want some extra support along the way, we’re here to help.
