Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy Pain Relief, Pelvic Balance, and Postpartum Recovery
Supporting Moms Through Every Stage of Pregnancy and Beyond
Pregnancy and postpartum bring about profound changes—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. At Be Well Chiropractic, we’re here to walk alongside you during this sacred season of life.
Our prenatal and postpartum care focuses on helping your body adapt to the demands of pregnancy and recover more smoothly after delivery. Using safe, gentle, and neurologically focused adjustments, we support the health and comfort of both mom and baby—before, during, and after birth.
How Pregnancy Affects the Spine and Nervous System
As your baby grows, your posture naturally shifts and your body produces hormones (like relaxin) that increase ligament laxity to prepare for birth. These changes—combined with the extra weight and altered center of gravity—can create instability in the spine and pelvis, often leading to discomfort or dysfunction. Proper alignment not only helps you feel better, but can also support better nervous system function and create a more optimal environment for your baby to grow and move freely. It’s a natural and effective way to improve comfort and prepare for labor.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help relieve:
Low back pain and sacral discomfort
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Round ligament pain
Pubic symphysis dysfunction (pain at the front of the pelvis)
Heartburn or reflux caused by spinal misalignment
Headaches or neck tension
Certified Prenatal Care with the Webster Technique
Dr. Alicia Bagwell is certified in the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic method developed specifically for pregnant women. This gentle, safe technique focuses on aligning the pelvis and reducing tension in the surrounding ligaments and soft tissues—especially the round ligaments and sacrotuberous ligaments.
When the pelvis is in proper alignment, it can reduce intrauterine constraint and encourage optimal fetal positioning, which may contribute to a more comfortable pregnancy and an easier delivery. Many moms seek out Webster-certified care during pregnancy to help baby settle into the best position for birth and to reduce pelvic discomfort in the later trimesters.
Whether you're experiencing pain or want to stay proactive during pregnancy, this evidence-informed technique is a trusted option for moms seeking holistic, drug-free care.
Postpartum Chiropractic Care and Whole-Body Support
After giving birth, your body continues to go through massive changes—healing from labor, adjusting to new physical demands, and managing hormonal shifts. The postpartum period is often overlooked when it comes to recovery, but chiropractic care can play a vital role in helping your body rebalance.
Postpartum care can:
Realign the spine and pelvis after labor and delivery
Improve posture—especially from nursing, carrying, and lifting your baby
Reduce aches and tension in the back, shoulders, and hips
Promote healing by restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system
Support better sleep and mobility as you care for your newborn
Relieve stress and tension that can accumulate during this new season of life
