Prenatal & Pregnancy Back Pain
Safe, Gentle Relief for Back Pain During Pregnancy
Back pain during pregnancy is incredibly common -- up to 70% of pregnant women experience it. But "common" doesn't mean you have to suffer through it. At BodyMind Chiropractic, we provide safe, gentle, drug-free relief for pregnancy-related back pain that is specifically adapted for the needs of expectant mothers.
As your body changes during pregnancy, your center of gravity shifts forward, hormonal changes loosen ligaments, and your growing baby adds stress to your spine and pelvis. These changes often cause lower back pain, sacroiliac joint pain, round ligament pain, and sciatica. Our gentle, neurologically-focused approach addresses these issues safely and effectively, supporting a more comfortable pregnancy.
Board-certified chiropractor with 25+ years of experience specializing in neurologically-focused, low-force care for families of all ages.
Safe Throughout Pregnancy
Our gentle techniques are safe throughout all trimesters of pregnancy. There is no cracking, twisting, or forceful manipulation. We use comfortable positioning that accommodates your growing belly, and many patients experience relief from their very first visit.
Pregnancy Pain We Help With
Lower Back Pain
The most common pregnancy complaint, caused by postural changes, weight gain, and hormonal effects on ligaments.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain
Sharp pain in the pelvis or buttocks from increased joint mobility and shifting pelvic alignment.
Sciatica
Radiating pain down the leg caused by nerve compression from shifting spinal and pelvic structures.
Round Ligament Pain
Sharp, stabbing pain in the lower abdomen or groin as ligaments stretch to support the growing uterus.
Upper Back & Rib Pain
Pain between the shoulders and in the rib cage as the thoracic spine accommodates breast changes and expanding rib cage.
Pubic Symphysis Pain (SPD)
Pain at the front of the pelvis where the pubic bones meet, often worse with walking or turning in bed.
Why Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Drug-Free Pain Relief
Most pain medications are not recommended during pregnancy. Chiropractic care provides effective relief without any drugs, making it one of the safest options for managing pregnancy pain.
Gentle Enough for Any Trimester
Our neurologically-focused approach uses light touch and precise instruments. No cracking, no twisting, no lying face-down on your belly. We use comfortable positioning throughout.
Supports Optimal Fetal Positioning
Proper pelvic alignment creates more room for baby to get into the best position for birth. This can help reduce the likelihood of breech presentation and support a smoother delivery.
Prepares the Body for Birth
Proper spinal and pelvic alignment supports your body's ability to open and deliver. Many patients who receive chiropractic care throughout pregnancy report shorter, more comfortable labor.
Our Approach to Pregnancy Care
Dr. John provides gentle, pregnancy-specific care designed for comfort and safety throughout every stage.
Prenatal Evaluation
We assess your spinal and pelvic alignment, identifying areas of misalignment and nerve interference that are contributing to your pain. We consider how your pregnancy stage affects your body mechanics.
Gentle Adjustments
Using Talsky Tonal Chiropractic and KST techniques, we gently correct misalignments. Our approach requires no face-down positioning and is comfortable with your growing belly. Many patients feel relief from their first visit.
Ongoing Pregnancy Support
As your body changes throughout pregnancy, your care plan adapts with you. We provide gentle support through each trimester, preparing your body for a comfortable delivery and healthy postpartum recovery.
