Prenatal & Pediatric

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy places unique demands on the body, especially in a short period of time. As your baby grows, weight gain and postural changes—such as a forward tilt of the hips and an increase in lumbar lordosis—can lead to discomfort, lower back pain, and even contribute to more difficult labor.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy helps the body adapt to these changes more comfortably. Regular adjustments can improve alignment, support pelvic balance, and have been shown to promote a smoother, less complicated labor and delivery experience.

After birth, it’s equally important to have your alignment checked. During late pregnancy, your body produces relaxin, a hormone that softens the ligaments to prepare for childbirth. This increase in ligament laxity can leave joints more vulnerable to misalignment during and after delivery. Postpartum chiropractic care supports recovery, pelvic stability, and overall well-being during this critical time.

We also offer specialized prenatal techniques such as the Webster Technique, which gently aligns the pelvis and may help encourage optimal fetal positioning—supporting a more comfortable pregnancy and a better birth outcome.

Pediatric Chiropractic care

The birthing process—whether vaginal or cesarean—can place significant pressure on a newborn’s body. In fact, it’s often the first physical stress a baby experiences. As they grow, children face a variety of new challenges: exposure to germs, bumps and tumbles while learning to crawl or walk, and the everyday demands of childhood. These stressors can lead to spinal misalignments, which may interfere with the brain’s ability to effectively communicate with the body.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment and support the nervous system, allowing your child’s body to function at its best.

Some common conditions and developmental challenges chiropractic care has helped children with include:

Constipation

Ear infections or aches

ADD/ADHD symptoms

Walking or balance issues

Torticollis

Colic

Acid reflux

Bedwetting

And more

Studies show that children who receive regular chiropractic care may experience fewer sick days and a reduced risk of developing scoliosis.

At Diverse Chiropractic, we provide safe, gentle, and effective care tailored specifically to your child’s stage of development—helping them grow strong, healthy, and aligned from the very beginning.
