Benefits of Chiropractic

As your body changes during pregnancy, chiropractic care can help you maintain a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.

It can also help prepare your body for labor and delivery by ensuring proper alignment and positioning of the baby. After giving birth, chiropractic care can help alleviate postpartum discomfort and promote healing. It can also help new parents cope with the physical demands of caring for a newborn. By addressing issues such as back pain, headaches, and joint pain, chiropractic care can improve your overall quality of life during and after pregnancy. Plus, our gentle techniques are safe for both you and your baby.

Enhance Birth/Labor Comfort

As your body changes during pregnancy, chiropractic care can help you maintain a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. It can also help prepare your body for labor and delivery by ensuring proper alignment which provides optimal space for baby positioning. Those under regular chiropractic care during pregnancy reported pain relief and shorter labor durations. Our chiropractors are prenatal certified in the Webster Technique, a pelvic analysis to provide specific and safe care for you and your baby.

What People Are Saying

"I went to Dr. Jillian throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period. It was the only way I could make it through pregnancy comfortably!! I had a pinch in my lower back for a while and after a few sessions the pinch was gone. Not only is Dr. Jillian a wonderful chiropractor but also extremely kind and welcoming. I highly recommend!"

"I love Dr. Jillian. She has tailored her care to my exact needs and comfort-level, which I have appreciated so much. She supported me through a challenging pregnancy, and I believe her care was instrumental in me being able to have a VBAC. She holds space and creates a nurturing environment for whatever I am dealing with on any given day. I highly recommend her!"

"Dr. Jillian spends a great deal of time listening and learning about your concerns/trouble spots. She makes the process really easy and describes her work clearly. She also makes sure there are no surprises! For someone who had never seen a chiropractor before, that’s pretty important. She makes sure to work within your comfort zone. I had an initial visit with her for some harsh back pain that affected my range of motion and mobility. Needless to say, the issue was resolved and she made me an advocate for chiropractic care!"
