Pregnancy brings a lot of physical changes in a short amount of time. As your body adapts, changes in posture, weight distribution, and your center of gravity can place additional stress on the lower back, pelvis, hips, and surrounding muscles. Some patients also experience sciatica, muscle tightness, or general stiffness as pregnancy progresses.

​

At McKenney Chiropractic, prenatal chiropractic care is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, comfort level, health history, and individual needs. Our doctors use positioning and techniques that can be modified specifically for pregnant patients, with the goal of supporting better movement and helping address musculoskeletal discomfort in a conservative, non-invasive way.

​

Chiropractic care during pregnancy may focus on areas such as the lower back, pelvis, hips, and other joints affected by the physical demands of pregnancy. Our team will evaluate your symptoms, discuss what you are experiencing, and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you. We also encourage patients to keep their obstetric provider informed about all care received during pregnancy.

​

Care can also continue into the postpartum period for patients dealing with soreness, stiffness, or new physical demands such as lifting, carrying, feeding, and caring for a newborn. Every pregnancy and recovery is different, so our approach is always individualized.

​

If pregnancy-related back pain, sciatica, stiffness, or mobility concerns are making everyday life more difficult, our Belleview chiropractic team can help you understand your options and determine the right next step.
