Prenatal & Postnatal Care
We're here to support you through every phase of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
How Does Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic Care Work?
Chiropractic care during and after pregnancy focuses on maintaining proper alignment of the spine and pelvis. As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, the spine and joints may become misaligned, leading to discomfort, pain, and reduced mobility. Through gentle, precise adjustments, chiropractic care restores alignment and relieves pressure on the nervous system.
One of the key benefits of prenatal chiropractic care is the promotion of optimal fetal positioning. Proper pelvic alignment helps ensure that your baby has enough space to move into the best position for birth, reducing the risk of complications like breech positioning.
Is It Right For Me?
Chiropractic care is a safe, natural option for most pregnant and postpartum women. If you’re experiencing any of the following conditions, chiropractic care may be right for you:
- Back Pain or Sciatica: As your belly grows, the added weight can cause strain on the lower back and sciatic nerve.
- Pelvic Pain: Misalignment in the pelvis can cause pain and discomfort, especially during late pregnancy.
- Neck Pain and Shoulder Tension: Changes in posture and added weight can lead to tension in the upper body.
- Headaches: Hormonal changes and tension in the neck and spine can lead to headaches during pregnancy.
- Difficult Postpartum Recovery: After childbirth, chiropractic care can help your body heal by restoring alignment and easing the strain placed on your back and joints during pregnancy and delivery.
Testimonials
We Love Our Clients, And They Love Us Too!
Dr. Maddie is truly the best pediatric and prenatal chiro in San Diego. I started seeing her late in my first pregnancy, and I’m so grateful to have found her! She is a doctor who genuinely cares about her patients’ mind, body and soul health. I began taking my newborn to her at four weeks old, and she has been helping us regulate our nervous systems after a long and difficult birth. She has also been helping my baby with his latch after undergoing a tongue tie release. Dr. Maddie is kind, understanding and accommodating, and I can’t recommend her enough! Every pregnant woman, baby and family should have access to this kind of care - it really does make a huge difference.
