Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy transforms your body in powerful ways. While these changes are necessary, they can also bring discomfort, especially in your lower back, hips, and spine. At Lakewood Injury Chiropractic, we offer safe, customized chiropractic care designed specifically for expectant mothers to help ease pain, support posture, and prepare the body for delivery.
Led by Dr. Brian Wilmovsky and Dr. Jakob Coffelt, our team provides supportive care at every stage of pregnancy, using gentle techniques that are both effective and non-invasive. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing your due date, we’re here to help you feel more comfortable, mobile, and balanced.
How Pregnancy Affects Your Spine and Posture
As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward. This often leads to increased pressure on the lower back, pelvis, and supporting muscles. Hormonal changes also cause ligaments to loosen, which can affect joint stability, especially in the hips and sacroiliac joints.
The result? Common pregnancy complaints like:
- Lower back pain
- Hip discomfort
- Sciatica
- Pelvic misalignment
- Postural fatigue
Chiropractic care helps by gently restoring balance to your spine and pelvis, which can relieve pain, improve mobility, and even encourage ideal fetal positioning.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Pregnancy
Your care begins with a thorough evaluation to understand your unique needs and any pregnancy-related discomfort. Dr. Wilmovsky uses gentle, specialized techniques safe for all trimesters to realign your spine and pelvis, reduce nerve irritation, and relieve muscle tension.
We focus on enhancing your body’s natural ability to heal and adapt throughout pregnancy. Many moms-to-be find that chiropractic care not only eases pain but also improves energy levels, sleep quality, and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe during all stages of pregnancy when provided by trained professionals. At our clinic, we use pregnancy-specific techniques and positioning to ensure every adjustment is comfortable and risk-free.
When should I start seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy?
You can start at any time, even in the first trimester. Many women begin care once they feel discomfort or notice postural changes, but others come in proactively to stay aligned and supported as their body changes.
Can chiropractic care help with breech positioning?
Yes. While chiropractic care doesn’t turn babies directly, pelvic and spinal alignment may help create more space for the baby to move naturally into the correct position. We use techniques like the Webster Technique to encourage optimal fetal positioning.
Will adjustments hurt or feel uncomfortable?
Not at all. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are gentle, low-force, and tailored to your needs. Many patients feel immediate relief and enjoy the lightness and ease it brings to their bodies.
