Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy - You Deserve to Feel Good
Pregnancy is a powerful experience. As your body changes, it's common to feel imbalances, tension, or discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is a gentle, supportive way to help your body adapt more comfortably through each stage.
Gentle Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care can be safely provided at any stage of pregnancy. Dr. Kelly will always consider both your current symptoms and where you are in your pregnancy when determining what kind of care and support is most appropriate for you. Our approach is always gentle, supportive, and tailored to your changing body's needs.
The Webster Technique Explained
At Aura Chiropractic, we specialize in the Webster Technique, a specialized approach that focuses on balancing the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments. This technique is particularly valuable during pregnancy because:
- It supports optimal pelvic alignment and reduces tension
- Gives baby the space and opportunity to settle into their best possible position naturally
- Does not flip or turn a baby - it creates space for natural positioning
- Can be beneficial throughout pregnancy, not just for breech presentations
Common Pregnancy Conditions We Support
Expecting mothers often seek our care for these common pregnancy-related concerns:
- Low back pain & sciatica
- Hip and tailbone pain
- Pubic symphysis discomfort
- Mid-back tension
- Round ligament tightness
- Breech presentation support
What to Expect During Your Pregnancy Care
Every session is tailored to how your body is feeling that day. Gentle adjustments may be combined with therapeutic exercises, mobility work, and guided Miles Circuit movement to help create space and balance. Whether you're in your first trimester or preparing for birth, care is always grounded in respect, support, and collaboration.
Our treatment approach adapts to each stage of your pregnancy, ensuring comfort and safety throughout your journey. We believe pregnancy is not just something to "get through" - it's something you deserve to feel good in, and we're here to help with that!
