How Chiropractic Supports You During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes:

• Postural shifts from a growing bump

• Hormonal changes (e.g. relaxin) affecting joint stability

• Increased pressure on the lower back, hips, pelvis, pubic bone, ligaments and muscles

Chiropractic adjustments can help by:

• Reducing tension in the spine, pelvis, hips and pubic bone

• Releasing tension in the round ligaments and other ligaments associated with the pelvis and hips

• Improving balance and alignment

• Relieving back, neck, and joint discomfort

• Supporting optimal pelvic positioning for birth

Research insight:
A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT, 2012) found that 75% of pregnant women who received chiropractic care reported relief from pregnancy-related back pain. Another review in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies (2014) highlights that gentle, low-force techniques are both safe and effective during pregnancy.

The Webster Technique – Encouraging Optimal Pelvic Balance

At Haptic Chiropractors, we are trained in the Webster Technique – a specific chiropractic method designed to reduce sacral and pelvic imbalance.

• Why it matters: Balanced pelvic alignment may create more space for your baby to move into an ideal head-down position for birth.

• Gentle approach: This technique is safe, non-invasive, and comfortable at every stage of pregnancy.
