Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

​During Pregnancy, a women’s body undergoes dramatic changes including: weight gain, change in posture and ligament laxity to accommodate the growth and arrival of baby. This transformation is aided by the release of the hormone relaxin, which promotes greater joint mobility, particularly in the pelvis and lower back.

However, when the pelvic bones are not moving properly and the nervous system becomes irritated, various discomforts may arise, such as lower back, pelvic and pubic bone pain, sciatica, round ligament pain and more. It’s important to understand that while pregnancy pains are common, they’re neither INEVITABLE nor NORMAL!

Webster Technique Certified

Utilizing the Webster Technique, a specialized approach for pregnant women, I focus on aligning the pelvic bones and balancing supporting muscles, to reduce nervous system stress and optimize mom's pelvic function throughout pregnancy and birth. 

Certified Perinatal Chiropractor

As a one of few Perinatal Certified Chiropractors in the state, I've received specialized training that covers care from preconception all the way through postpartum. As a pregnancy and postpartum expert, I provide safe and gentle chiropractic care.

I provide expert care during pregnancy and postpartum to help women relieve pain, improve mobility, promote proper fetal positioning, support a smoother labor and delivery, and accelerate postpartum recovery. 

Chiropractic Care During Postpartum

In the postpartum period, your body continues to adapt after childbirth, often facing new challenges such as weakened abdominal muscles, pelvic floor dysfunction, and upper back or neck aches and pains.

Through specialized postpartum chiropractic care, I aim to realign your spine, strengthen core muscles, and address any lingering discomforts from pregnancy and delivery.

By supporting your body's natural healing process, we can enhance your recovery, improve your overall well-being, and help you navigate the demands of motherhood with greater comfort and ease.

"HIGHLY recommend Dr.Emily! I started receiving care about two weeks before I delivered my second child. I believe the treatment I received and at home exercises attributed to my easy delivery and postpartum recovery!


Dr. Emily takes the time to get to the root cause of your issues. I have never received care like this, she is outstanding and passionate about what she does!"
