Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy
Creating an optimal pregnancy experience
In today’s conventional healthcare system, pregnancy is too often treated like a condition to be managed rather than a natural journey for moms to be supported, empowered, and cared for. This “medicalization” of pregnancy has led many women to experience not only physical discomfort, but also massive amounts stress, anxiety, and exhaustion. What’s more, there’s a growing reliance on interventions—often used routinely rather than thoughtfully—which can leave expectant mothers feeling disempowered and disconnected from their own experience.
Additionally, the demands of pregnancy are often compounded by nutrient deficiencies driven by the Standard American Diet and fast-paced modern lifestyle—leaving moms depleted at a time when their bodies need deep nourishment and support.
At Optimal Life Chiropractic, we want you to have your best pregnancy experience. Our gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments do more than relieve your aches: by restoring optimal spinal and pelvic alignment, we help free up intrauterine space and improve nerve system communication—setting the stage for healthier fetal development. It’s about creating the healthiest foundation possible—for both you and your baby—so you can have your most empowered and optimal birth experience.
Dr. Roger and Dr. Austyn are specially trained to create an optimal pregnancy for both mom and baby using Webster technique, a precise chiropractic adjustment used specifically for prenatal chiropractic care.
Drastic changes in the body during pregnancy can cause aches, pain, and discomfort. When the pelvis and sacrum shift out of alignment, it creates tension on the ligaments and nerve supply to the uterus. With adjustments, we can reduce interference to the nervous system and return the pelvis, sacrum, and uterus to proper alignment. Restoring this balance helps baby assume proper birth position, and provides relief to mom, resulting in an optimal pregnancy and birth experience!
