Your body undergoes over 50,000 structural changes during pregnancy. Traditional prenatal care focuses on monitoring, but what about optimizing your body's ability to adapt? At Integra Health in Hawthorne, we specialize in pre and postnatal chiropractic care that addresses the biomechanical shifts, nerve interference, and postural adaptations that impact both mother and baby throughout pregnancy and recovery.
Conventional prenatal guidance often leaves expecting mothers managing discomfort on their own.
Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics shows that 84% of pregnant women experience relief from pregnancy-related low back pain through specific chiropractic adjustments. Our approach goes beyond symptom management to restore proper pelvic alignment, optimize fetal positioning, and prepare your body for a smoother labor and delivery.

What is Pre and Postnatal Chiropractic Care?
Pre and postnatal chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment and pelvic balance during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Unlike traditional chiropractic that uses standardized adjustments, our approach utilizes Webster Technique and pregnancy-specific protocols designed to accommodate your changing body safely.
During pregnancy, your body releases hormones which loosen ligaments to prepare for birth. While necessary, this creates spinal instability and misalignments that compress nerves controlling uterine function. Our gentle, targeted adjustments remove this nerve interference, allowing your body to function optimally. We use specialized pregnancy pillows and side-lying positions that keep you comfortable throughout treatment.

Conditions We Treat with Pre and Postnatal Care
Pregnancy-Related Lower Back Pain
Approximately 50 to 70% of pregnant women experience lower back pain as their center of gravity shifts forward. We address the root cause by restoring proper spinal curvature and reducing stress on supporting ligaments and muscles, providing lasting relief without medication.
Sciatica During Pregnancy
When your growing uterus and shifting pelvis compress the sciatic nerve, shooting pain radiates down your leg. Our adjustments create space in the pelvic region and reduce nerve compression, alleviating pain naturally.
Breech and Posterior Positioning
The Webster Technique addresses sacral misalignment that restricts optimal fetal positioning, potentially reducing the need for cesarean delivery.
Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction
When the joint connecting your pubic bones becomes unstable, every step hurts. We stabilize the pelvis and restore proper joint mechanics.
Round Ligament Pain
Sharp pains during movement signal stressed ligaments. Our treatment reduces tension and improves pelvic support.
Postpartum Recovery Complications
After delivery, your body needs structural realignment. We address diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and postural imbalances that impact long-term health.
• ADVANTAGES •
Advantages of Pre and Postnatal Care
Choosing specialized chiropractic care during pregnancy and postpartum recovery offers distinct benefits that standard prenatal care overlooks.
Reduced Labor Time and Intervention Rates
Studies show women receiving regular chiropractic care throughout pregnancy experience 24% shorter labor times for first-time mothers and 39% shorter for experienced mothers. Proper pelvic alignment creates optimal conditions for natural progression through labor stages.
Drug-Free Pain Management
You avoid medications that cross the placental barrier. Our treatments provide relief through natural biomechanical correction rather than symptom suppression.
Improved Fetal Positioning
Correct pelvic alignment gives your baby optimal space to move into proper head-down position, potentially reducing breech presentations and the complications they create.
Faster Postpartum Recovery
Women who continue care after delivery report quicker return to pre-pregnancy function and reduced incidence of chronic postpartum complications.

Pre and Postnatal Care FAQs for Hawthorne Expecting Mothers
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. We use specialized tables and pillows that allow you to lie face down comfortably without putting pressure on your belly. The adjustments are modified to be extremely gentle and safe for both mother and baby throughout all three trimesters.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This reduces torsion in the uterus and allows the baby to assume the best possible position for birth.
When should I start seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy?
You can start at any time. Some women begin care as soon as they find out they are pregnant to prevent pain, while others come to us in the third trimester seeking relief from sciatica or breech positioning concerns. Earlier is generally better for prevention.
Can I get adjusted after a C-section?
Yes. We can provide gentle care to the upper back and neck while your incision heals. Once you are cleared by your OB-GYN (usually around 6 weeks), we can begin specific work on the pelvis and lower back to aid in full recovery.
Will my insurance cover prenatal chiropractic?
Integra Health accepts many major insurance plans. Coverage for prenatal care varies by policy, but we will perform a complimentary benefits check in our Hawthorne office to help you understand your coverage options.
Does the adjustment hurt the baby?
No. The adjustment is applied to the mother's spine and pelvis, not the baby. The force used is gentle and controlled. Most mothers find the treatment relaxing, and the baby remains safe and cushioned inside the uterus throughout the process.
