Your Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, visiting a chiropractor during the first trimester (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy can be generally safe for most women, but with a few considerations:

  • Prenatal Expertise: Choose a chiropractor trained in prenatal care who uses techniques specifically designed for pregnant women.
  • Doctor’s Consultation: Always discuss chiropractic care with your doctor before starting any new treatment during pregnancy.

Pregnancy chiropractors use gentle techniques to address common discomforts associated with a growing baby. These may include:

  • Muscle tension release: Techniques to relieve tightness and discomfort in your back, glutes, and pelvis.
  • Pelvis and spine mobilizations: Gentle adjustments to improve mobility and alignment in your pelvis and spine.
  • Optimizing pelvic positioning: Adjustments aimed at creating a favorable position for delivery.

Ideally, you can begin seeing a prenatal chiropractor early in your pregnancy. This allows them to address changes in your body as they happen:

  • Hormonal fluctuations can cause ligament laxity and joint misalignment.
  • Regular chiropractic care may help minimize discomfort from these changes.

Even if you’re experiencing pain later in pregnancy, a chiropractor can still help.

The ideal frequency of chiropractic visits during pregnancy depends on your individual needs. Here’s a general guideline:

  • Initially: Your chiropractor will assess your baseline and may recommend more frequent visits if needed.
  • Regular Visits: For most women with no pre-existing issues, a typical schedule might be:
    • Once a month in the first trimester.
    • Twice a month in the second trimester.
  • Third Trimester: Visits may be adjusted based on your individual needs and how your body feels.
