Pregnancy
Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on the body, and it’s no surprise that over 75% of pregnant women experience back or pelvic pain at some point during their pregnancy. As the body changes to support a growing baby, shifts in posture, ligament tension, and joint mobility can lead to discomfort that affects daily life. At Phipps‑Swenson Chiropractic, care is focused on gentle, safe, and pregnancy‑specific techniques — including Webster Technique — to help expectant mothers move comfortably, reduce pain, and support a healthier, more enjoyable pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the body undergoes rapid structural and hormonal changes. As the abdomen grows, the center of gravity shifts forward, increasing stress on the lower back, hips, and pelvis. Hormones like relaxin loosen ligaments to prepare for birth, but this added flexibility can also create instability in the spine and pelvic joints. These changes often lead to low‑back pain, sciatica, round ligament discomfort, pelvic pressure, and difficulty with everyday movements.
Because the pelvis and spine form the foundation for the entire body, imbalances in these areas can influence posture, gait, and even the baby’s positioning. Chiropractic care during pregnancy uses gentle adjustments and soft‑tissue techniques to restore balance, improve pelvic alignment, and reduce tension. This not only helps relieve pain but also supports optimal biomechanics for both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.
