Pregnancy and Chiropractic: Safe Care for Moms-to-Be

Pregnancy is an incredible journey—but it’s also one that places new demands on the body. As your baby grows, your spine, pelvis, and posture adapt quickly, which can sometimes lead to discomfort. Many moms-to-be experience back pain, hip pain, or even trouble sleeping as their bodies change.

That’s where chiropractic care comes in. At Lolo Wellness, we provide safe, gentle, and effective care for expectant mothers to help ease discomfort and support a healthy pregnancy.

🤰 Why Pregnancy Can Be Hard on Your Spine

During pregnancy, your body goes through rapid changes:

• Weight shifts forward as the baby grows, often straining the low back.

• Hormonal changes loosen joints and ligaments (to prepare for birth), which can create instability in the pelvis.

• Postural changes can cause tension in the hips, back, and neck.

• Many women also experience sciatic nerve irritation, leading to shooting pain down the legs.

These changes are natural—but they don’t have to mean months of pain or discomfort.

🌿 How Chiropractic Helps Moms-to-Be

Chiropractic treatments during pregnancy are safe, gentle, and tailored to your changing body. At Lolo Wellness, we use pregnancy-friendly techniques and positioning to ensure both mom and baby are comfortable.

Benefits of chiropractic care in pregnancy can include:

• ✅ Relief from back, hip, and pelvic pain

• ✅ Improved spinal and pelvic alignment (important for posture and comfort)

• ✅ Reduced pressure on nerves (like sciatica)

• ✅ Better sleep and relaxation

• ✅ Support for easier movement as your pregnancy progresses

Some studies even suggest that chiropractic care may help support a smoother labor and delivery by keeping the pelvis balanced.
