Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy is as beautiful as it is demanding. Between the excitement, aches, and endless advice out there, you might feel overwhelmed—and that’s perfectly normal. At Innate Family Chiropractic, we’re here to guide and support you through every stage.
Your Journey, Supported Every Step of the Way
Dr. Ashley is trained in gentle prenatal techniques that honor your body’s sensitivity during pregnancy. We use special pregnancy pillows and tables designed to support your belly, so you can relax fully during each visit. As a mother of two, Dr. Ashley brings personal understanding and professional expertise to every adjustment.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters
During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy does more than ease discomfort—it helps your body adapt, align, and prepare for the journey ahead. Starting care early, even while trying to conceive or during the first trimester, supports a smoother, more balanced pregnancy. Gentle adjustments can reduce tension, improve posture, and create more space for your growing baby.
Proper pelvic and spinal alignment also plays a key role in birth outcomes. Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care is linked to shorter labor times and fewer complications. For many moms, this means feeling more confident and prepared for delivery.
Discomfort during pregnancy is common—but it doesn’t have to be your norm. Chiropractic care can help relieve back pain, tailbone pressure, and even support optimal baby positioning. In some cases, adjustments have helped turn breech or transverse babies and supported natural births after previous C-sections.
Tailored Care That Grows With You
-
What’s Best for Mama Is Best for Baby. When you get adjusted while pregnant, the benefits extend to the life growing inside you. Having proper pelvic alignment will give your baby more room to grow and develop. Studies have shown chiropractic can lead to a shorter delivery process. A smoother delivery means a more enjoyable process for Mama and less stress for Baby.

Pregnancy Doesn’t Have to Be a Pain. Chiropractic can help prevent pregnancy pain and discomfort. Discomfort in the lower back or tailbone is common during pregnancy, but it doesn’t have to be! Adjustments can help to move a baby from a transverse or breech position, into the proper position for a vaginal birth. We’ve also helped women who had a C-section with a previous pregnancy to be able to have a natural delivery the second time around. What if you aren’t in any pain? Even if you are experiencing a smooth, healthy pregnancy, chiropractic care can still be beneficial. Regular adjustments can result in a more comfortable pregnancy overall. They can also lead to decreased labor and delivery time.

Getting Adjusted During Pregnancy. Chiropractic care is absolutely safe and comfortable for pregnant women. There are no contraindications for getting adjusted while pregnant. It’s just as safe as it is for anyone else. Dr. Ashley has adjusted countless pregnant women, so she understands the considerations required for a pregnant mother. She will use an adjusting force that is tolerable to your body. The adjusting technique used is very safe, not abrupt or abrasive in any way. During your adjustments, we will also use pregnancy pillows to cushion your baby while you are lying down. As a mother of two, Dr. Ashley received chiropractic adjustments through both of her pregnancies. She can attest to the safety of adjustments as well as an overall comfortable pregnancy while under chiropractic care. She also experienced very quick and easy deliveries with both of her babies.

Postpartum Chiropractic Care. After your baby is born, it’s easy to focus all your attention on the baby and forsake taking care of yourself. We understand that there’s a lot to do when you have a new baby. You might be experiencing headaches, body aches, sleeplessness, and shrugging it all off as part of motherhood. We see you. We’re here for you. And we want to provide the help you deserve. Growing and birthing a baby have a huge impact on your body. The hormonal and physical changes your body goes through to produce such a feat are astounding. Chiropractic can help make sure that your body can cope with all these changes while also keeping up with the demands of infant care. Adjustments can also help with the aches and struggles that come with taking care of a newborn. You may be feeling pain in your back, arms, or wrists from holding your baby. Headaches are also common. Not to mention the lack of sleep. With regular chiropractic care, we can help you through all of this.
