Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractor in Meridian & West Boise

Expecting mom, prenatal chiropractic care

Feel comfortable through your pregnancy, and recover well after baby arrives.

Your body changes fast during pregnancy. As your belly grows, your low back curves more, your pelvis shifts and your ligaments loosen. That can mean back pain, hip and pelvic pain, sciatica and nights you can’t get comfortable. Our chiropractors use gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments, with special pregnancy pillows that let you lie comfortably face-down or on your side, to ease the strain and help your pelvis move the way it should.

When pregnancy pain starts running your day

It may be time to come in if:

  • Low back pain gets worse as the day goes on
  • Your hips, pelvis or pubic bone hurt when you walk, climb stairs or roll over in bed
  • Pain shoots down your leg (sciatica)
  • Your ribs, upper back or neck ache as your posture changes
  • You can’t get comfortable enough to sleep
  • You’re getting headaches during pregnancy
  • After delivery, your back, pelvis or wrists hurt from feeding, lifting and carrying your baby

Why pregnancy causes back and pelvic pain

During pregnancy your body releases hormones that loosen your ligaments so your pelvis can widen for delivery. At the same time, the weight of your growing baby pulls your center of gravity forward. Together, those changes put extra strain on your low back, hips and pelvic joints, and they can irritate nearby nerves.

Gentle adjustments help keep your spine and pelvis moving and balanced, so your muscles and joints aren’t working as hard to hold you up. A balanced pelvis also gives your baby more room to move, which is one reason many moms keep coming right up to their due date.

How we help you feel better

Every plan starts with your exam and only includes what you need:

  • Gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments. We never put pressure on your belly. We use side-lying positions and special pregnancy pillows so you can lie comfortably at every stage.
  • Therapeutic massage for tight hips, low back and shoulders
  • Postpartum care to help your back and pelvis recover after delivery, plus corrective therapy to rebuild core and pelvic stability
  • Pediatric chiropractic for your baby, when you’re ready. Many moms bring their newborns in with them.

We’re happy to work alongside your OB or midwife. For pain that shoots down your leg, see our sciatica treatment page.

Call your OB or midwife right away for bleeding, fluid leaking, severe belly pain, your baby moving less than usual, or a severe headache with vision changes.

Your first visit

  1. Talk: We ask how far along you are, where you hurt, and how your pregnancy has been going.
  2. Exam: A gentle exam of your posture, pelvis, spine and movement. We don’t take X-rays during pregnancy.
  3. Plan: We explain what’s causing your pain in plain language, what we recommend, how often to come in and what it costs.
