Pregnancy chiropractic questions, answered
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
For most healthy pregnancies, yes. We use gentle, low-force techniques, skip X-rays, and change your positioning as you grow. If your pregnancy is high-risk, or you have bleeding, cramping, or sudden swelling, see your OB or midwife first and let us know so we can coordinate.
When in pregnancy can I start seeing a chiropractor?
Any trimester. Some patients come in early to stay ahead of back pain. Many start in the second or third trimester, when hip and low back pain tends to pick up.
Can a chiropractor help with sciatica or hip pain during pregnancy?
Often, yes. A lot of pregnancy sciatica and hip pain starts in the joints of the pelvis and lower back and the muscles around them. Gentle adjustments and targeted stretches take pressure off those areas, and many patients feel the difference within a few visits.
Do I need a referral from my OB or midwife?
No. You can book directly with us. We are glad to share notes with your OB or midwife if you would like them in the loop.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care during pregnancy?
Most plans that cover chiropractic care cover it during pregnancy too. We accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, HealthChoice, QT QuikMed, and UMR, and we verify your benefits before your first visit. See the full insurance list.
Can I keep coming after the baby arrives?
Yes. Feeding, lifting a car seat, and short nights are hard on the back and neck, and postpartum visits help you recover. We also see newborns and kids, so the whole family can come to one office. See pediatric chiropractic care.
