Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but let’s be honest, it can also come with its fair share of aches and pains. As your body changes to support a growing baby, it’s not uncommon to feel discomfort in areas like your lower back, hips, and pelvis. That’s where chiropractic care during pregnancy can make a real difference.
At Archetype, we specialize in gentle, safe, and effective chiropractic treatments tailored specifically for pregnant patients. Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain, joint pain, or just looking for holistic support, our team is here to help you feel your best.
Can You Go to the Chiropractor While Pregnant?
Yes—you can absolutely go to the chiropractor while pregnant, and many women do! In fact, seeing a prenatal chiropractor can be one of the most supportive choices you make for your body and baby.
Our chiropractors at Archetype are Webster Technique Certified, which means we’re trained in specialized methods that support the alignment of the spinal column and sacroiliac joint during pregnancy. This approach is gentle, non-invasive, and focused on your comfort and safety.
Why See a Chiropractor While Pregnant?
Your body is doing a lot of work during pregnancy. The added weight of your baby, shifting posture, and loosening of muscles and ligaments can all create tension and misalignment. A chiropractor for pregnant women can help reduce these stresses by keeping your spine aligned and your pelvis balanced.
Common Issues Chiropractic Care Can Address:
- Lower back pain and joint pain
- Pelvic pain or instability
- Sciatica and nerve discomfort
- Postural changes and muscle tension
- Preparation for labor and delivery
Our goal is to relieve pain and discomfort while supporting your overall care during pregnancy. Every session is personalized to your needs and stage of pregnancy.
The Power of Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Seeing a prenatal chiropractor isn’t just about treating discomfort—it’s about supporting your body holistically during one of its most transformative times.
Benefits of Chiropractic Treatments During Pregnancy
- Reduces pelvic pain and pressure. Our chiropractic pelvic adjustment techniques help balance the pelvis and reduce strain on the sacroiliac joint.
- Improves posture and alignment. As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts. Chiropractic care helps keep the spinal column aligned to reduce fatigue and tension.
- Eases labor and delivery. A well-aligned pelvis may support an easier birth process by allowing more room for your baby to move into the optimal position.
- Supports better sleep. Less pain and improved mobility often lead to better rest—something every expectant mother needs.
At Archetype, we believe prenatal chiropractic care is about empowering women through knowledge, movement, and healing touch.
Chiropractic Care vs. Physical Therapy
You might be wondering: should I choose chiropractic care during pregnancy or physical therapy?
The truth is, both can be incredibly beneficial—but they focus on different aspects of wellness.
- Chiropractic care emphasizes spinal alignment, nervous system support, and joint mobility.
- Physical therapy often includes strength training, mobility exercises, and rehabilitation techniques.
At Archetype, we combine the best of both worlds by integrating exercises and stretches into your care plan. We tailor our approach to support your individual goals and comfort level.
What to Expect When Visiting a Chiropractor While Pregnant
Your first visit with a prenatal chiropractor will include a full health history, posture and mobility assessment, and a gentle, personalized treatment plan. We’ll explain every step, answer all your questions, and make sure you feel supported from start to finish.
We often use the Webster Technique, a gentle and targeted approach that supports pelvic balance and nervous system function. Many women who’ve visited a chiropractor during pregnancy report feeling more relaxed, aligned, and confident in their bodies.
How Chiropractic Pelvic Adjustments Can Support Birth
Your pelvis is the foundation for your growing baby, so it’s essential that it stays balanced and mobile. A misaligned pelvis can create tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, which may impact the baby's positioning.
That’s why chiropractic pelvic adjustment is a key focus of our care. These gentle adjustments support:
- Optimal fetal positioning
- Reduced tension in the pelvic floor
- Greater ease during labor and delivery
Our goal is to help you feel strong, centered, and ready to welcome your baby into the world.
Who Should Consider a Prenatal Chiropractor?
You don’t need to be in pain to benefit from seeing a chiropractor while pregnant. In fact, many women choose regular prenatal chiropractic care as a proactive step toward a healthy pregnancy.
You might benefit from chiropractic care if:
- You’re experiencing aches and pains in your back, hips, or legs
- You want to improve posture and mobility
- You’re dealing with pelvic pain or joint pain
- You’re preparing for a smoother labor and delivery
- You simply want holistic support for your pregnancy journey
