Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy in Fishers
Your body works hard during pregnancy, adapting week by week as your baby grows. As posture, weight distribution, joint stress, and muscle tension change, you may notice discomfort in your low back, hips, pelvis, mid-back, and neck. At About Life Chiropractic, chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on helping your joints and muscles move and function as comfortably as possible.
We use a precise, low-force approach that is modified for your stage of pregnancy, comfort level, and individual needs.
Every pregnancy is different. Many women choose chiropractic care as part of how they manage the physical demands of these nine months, with the goal of moving more comfortably and staying active.
The Webster Technique
As a specialized approach commonly used during pregnancy, the Webster Technique focuses on assessing the sacrum, pelvis, and surrounding muscles and ligaments to identify areas that may not be moving or functioning as well as they could. Using specific adjustments and soft-tissue work, the goal is to improve pelvic function and reduce unnecessary tension as your body changes.
It’s important to note that the technique does not involve turning or directly adjusting the baby. Care stays focused entirely on the mom and the function of her pelvis and surrounding structures. We combine the principles of the Webster Technique with our low-force approach, adapting care to your stage of pregnancy and specific needs.
What a Visit Looks Like
Before recommending anything, we take time to understand your health history, current pregnancy, and how your body is feeling and functioning. From there, we adjust care from visit to visit based on your comfort and how your body is responding, rather than following a fixed routine.
