Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

Pregnancy is a season of profound change, both physically and emotionally. As your body adapts to support a growing baby, new stresses can arise in the spine, pelvis, and nervous system. At Embolden Chiropractic, we offer thoughtful, pregnancy-specific chiropractic care to help you feel more comfortable, balanced, and supported throughout each stage of pregnancy.

Whether you’re navigating discomfort in your low back or pelvis, experiencing changes in movement, or simply wanting to prepare your body for birth, care is tailored to meet your individual needs. A technique we commonly utilize is the Webster Technique—a gentle, research-informed chiropractic approach focused on improving pelvic balance and easing tension within the nervous system. By supporting optimal alignment and mobility, this approach helps create a more favorable environment for both mom and baby as your body prepares for labor and delivery.

Chiropractic care can be a valuable support throughout pregnancy, offering gentle, effective care for both mother and baby. As your body changes to accommodate pregnancy, added strain can develop in the spine, pelvis, and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to support balance, mobility, and comfort during this time of transition.

Some of the ways chiropractic care may support pregnancy include improved pelvic balance to encourage optimal space and positioning for your baby, relief from common discomforts such as low back pain, pelvic tension, and nerve irritation, and enhanced nervous system regulation to support overall wellbeing. By reducing unnecessary stress and tension in the body, chiropractic care can also help prepare the body for labor and delivery, promoting a more efficient and supported birth experience.

Beginning care earlier in pregnancy can offer lasting benefits, though care can be started at any point. After birth, chiropractic check-ups for both mother and newborn can help support recovery, regulation, and a smooth transition into postpartum life. At Embolden Chiropractic, our goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and connected to your body as you move through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.

Pregnancy and birth create meaningful changes within the body. Shifts in hormones, posture, and weight, along with the physical demands of labor and delivery, can leave the spine, pelvis, and nervous system under increased stress. After birth, the body begins the process of rebalancing and recovery—often while navigating sleep deprivation, emotional changes, and the demands of caring for a newborn.

While so much attention is placed on the baby, a mother’s healing deserves care and support as well. Chiropractic care can play an important role during the postpartum period by helping the body restore balance, reduce tension, and recover more comfortably. This season of transition is not only about caring for your baby, but also about caring for yourself.

Relief from Back & Body Discomfort
Postural strain, feeding positions, and lifting can contribute to back, neck, and hip discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment and ease tension in the spine and surrounding muscles.

Pelvic Balance & Stability
Pregnancy and childbirth can leave the pelvis feeling unstable or imbalanced. Gentle chiropractic care supports pelvic alignment and may help reduce long-term issues such as pelvic discomfort or dysfunction.

Postural Support
Caring for a newborn often places new demands on the body. Chiropractic care can help improve posture and reduce strain from feeding, holding, and carrying your baby.

Support After Cesarean Birth
Following a C-section, chiropractic care may support nervous system communication and mobility, helping the body adapt and heal more efficiently as recovery progresses.

Nervous System Regulation & Wellbeing
By reducing physical stress on the nervous system, chiropractic care can promote relaxation, resilience, and overall wellbeing during this emotionally and physically demanding time.

Improved Rest & Recovery
When discomfort is reduced and the body is better supported, many mothers notice improved rest and recovery—both essential in the early postpartum weeks.

Supporting the Body’s Natural Healing
Chiropractic care works with the body’s innate ability to heal and adapt. After the incredible work of growing and birthing a baby, thoughtful support can help make recovery feel more easeful and connected.
