Pregnant and in Pain? Here’s How Chiropractic Care Can Help

HELPFUL TIPS
May 5, 2025

Growing a baby is no small feat. As your body changes, your center of gravity shifts, ligaments loosen, and muscles work harder to adapt. This often leads to:

  • Lower back and hip pain
  • Sciatica or shooting leg pain
  • Pelvic pressure
  • Poor posture
  • Difficulty sleeping

These changes are normal—but you don't have to suffer through them.


How Chiropractic Care Supports a Healthier Pregnancy

At SISU Spine & Rehab, we use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to keep your body balanced and comfortable throughout every trimester.

Key Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

  • Reduces back, hip, and joint pain
  • Promotes better sleep and relaxation
  • Encourages optimal baby positioning
  • Improves mobility and posture
  • May shorten labor and delivery time

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only safe—it's recommended by many midwives and OBs to support smoother, more comfortable pregnancies.


Our Approach to Pregnancy Chiropractic

Dr. Serbinski specializes in prenatal care and uses specific tables and techniques to ensure both mom and baby remain safe and supported.

What You Can Expect:

1. Personalized Evaluation

We listen carefully to your symptoms and goals, then assess how your spine and pelvis are adapting to your pregnancy.

2. Gentle Adjustments

These relieve pressure on nerves and muscles, restore pelvic balance, and support overall spinal health—without any twisting or cracking.

3. Pelvic Alignment Support

Proper pelvic alignment creates more room for your baby and may lead to an easier delivery by reducing intrauterine constraint.

"I started seeing Dr. Serbinski during my second trimester when my lower back was killing me. Not only did he help me feel better physically, but I felt more confident and supported as a first-time mom. He's amazing at explaining what's happening in your body and how to fix it safely."— Lindsay T., Springboro

Is It Safe?

Absolutely. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is non-invasive, drug-free, and proven safe for both mom and baby when performed by a trained provider. At SISU, you're in expert hands.


When to Start Chiropractic During Pregnancy

The earlier, the better—but it's never too late. Whether you're just beginning to feel discomfort or you're approaching your due date, chiropractic care can provide relief and prepare your body for labor.

We often see patients:

  • Early in pregnancy for preventative care
  • In the second trimester as pain increases
  • In the third trimester to support pelvic alignment and baby positioning

FAQ

Q: Does chiropractic care help turn breech babies?

A: While we don't "turn" babies, proper pelvic alignment (often supported by the Webster Technique) may encourage baby to move into optimal head-down position.

Q: Will it hurt or feel uncomfortable?

A: Not at all. Adjustments during pregnancy are gentle, safe, and tailored to your changing body.
