An experienced chiropractor will design a plan that can support a faster, safer labor and birth and a smoother postpartum recovery.

The benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy don’t end there. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also help your baby by creating more room in your belly and pelvis. This may provide better positioning for your baby during birth, promoting more comfort for you both. 

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can start as soon as you become pregnant (or even before!), and you don’t have to wait until discomfort starts to begin your care. We offer safe, proactive methods during routine visits that get ahead of pregnancy-related aches and pains.

Pregnancy does not mean you’re destined to experience low back pain or other problems. If you’re working through any of these issues, we have some good news: You’ve come to the right place.

Chiropractic care for pregnant women is safe, gentle, and effective, especially when paired with rehabilitative exercise. Dr. Whitney is certified in Webster Technique, trained in Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation, and is also a certified Birthfit Professional.

Webster Technique

Webster Technique is an assessment and adjustment used by chiropractors to treat the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments. This technique is especially beneficial during pregnancy because it can help to optimize the pelvis in preparation for birth. 

When your pelvis is able to move well, especially later in pregnancy, it can help your baby get into a better position for delivery — and help you move and feel better, too.

Birth may be the most athletic event of your life. What are you doing to prepare for it? Dr. Whitney can help you comfortably move through your pregnancy and safely train and prepare for birth.

While many of your pregnancy-related aches and pains will subside after your baby’s birth, postpartum can bring a new set of physical and emotional challenges. Chiropractic care can be of benefit. 

If you just gave birth to a baby, you are amazing. Labor and delivery require some serious strength and control, and regardless of how your birth occurred, your postpartum body needs time for intentional recovery.

Your body has nine months to slowly adapt to many biomechanical changes while pregnant. During this time, our treatment typically focuses on mobility and relaxation; however, after birth, a whole new set of changes begin, and these happen all at once.

In the postpartum period, our approach shifts to working on gentle activation and control of the core and pelvic floor muscles.

Dr. Whitney is trained in Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehab, she’s a certified Birthfit Professional, and she can help with a variety of common postpartum concerns, including: 

• Abdominal diastasis (separation)

• Stress

• Incontinence

• Painful intercourse

• Pelvic organ prolapse

• Pelvic tears and scars

• Pelvic pain

• Low back pain

• Nursing-related back pain

• And more

Postpartum care can begin as soon as 2-3 weeks after birth. Although each woman’s postpartum experience can look different, we are ready to help you with practical, reliable solutions.

Giving birth does not mean that your body becomes broken or damaged. Your body is strong, and you were made for this. We can help you feel like yourself again.

Dr. Whitney believes human bodies are strong, resilient, and made for movement. Her goal is to help all of her patients achieve optimal movement and function in all body systems, including the core and pelvic floor.

Although core and pelvic floor problems are common in pregnant and postpartum women, you don’t need to have children to benefit from this kind of rehabilitation.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is performed both internally and externally, and it is safe, comfortable, and helpful for assisting with proper pelvic muscle relaxation and activation. Dr. Whitney’s pelvic floor therapy training is through Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and the Prague School of Rehabilitation (DNS).

Some common indications that you could benefit from core and pelvic floor rehab include:

• Low back pain

• Pelvic pain and pressure

• Incontinence (leaking with activity or urge)

• Constipation

• Abdominal separation (also called diastasis recti abdominus, DRA, and abdominal diastasis)

• Pain with sexual activity

• Painful periods

• Hip pain and sciatica 

• Pelvic tears and scarring

• Previous pregnancies, pelvic surgeries, or traumas

• And more

Whether you’ve had children or not, you may experience these symptoms. Our focused core and pelvic floor training can help you find the comfort you’re looking for. 

Beginning core and pelvic floor rehab before conception and during pregnancy can contribute to a more comfortable pregnancy, safer labor and birth, and improved postpartum recovery.

No matter how old your baby is, from newborn to teenage years and beyond — or if you’ve never had children — it’s never too late to start taking care of yourself. Our chiropractic solutions are gentle, safe, non-invasive, and lead to overall wellness.
