Prenatal & Postpartum
Pregnancy and postpartum are some of the most beautiful and demanding seasons in a woman’s life. Your body is changing quickly, your nervous system is constantly adapting, and your muscles and ligaments are working overtime to support you and your baby.
Pregnancy and motherhood are beautiful, but they can also be physically and emotionally demanding. At Salt & Light Chiropractic, we’re here to support you through every stage—before baby, birth, and beyond—so you feel safe, heard, and cared for.
Why chiropractic care during pregnancy?
As your baby grows, your posture, center of gravity, and the way you move all begin to shift. This can place extra stress on your spine and nervous system, which may show up as:
-
Low back, hip, or pelvic discomfort
-
Round ligament tension
-
Sciatic-like pain or numbness
-
Trouble sleeping or getting comfortable
-
Increased fatigue
Chiropractic care focuses on keeping your spine and pelvis moving well so your nervous system can communicate clearly with the rest of your body. When your body moves better, it’s often easier to stay comfortable, rest more deeply, and handle the physical demands of pregnancy.
Postpartum care:
Birth is a big event for your body, no matter how your baby arrives. In the postpartum season, we focus on helping you:
-
Recover from the physical stress of pregnancy and delivery.
-
Support core and pelvic stability.
-
Ease neck, back, and shoulder tension from feeding, holding, and carrying baby.
-
Improve posture as you adjust to life with a newborn.
-
Restore balance in your nervous system so you can better handle stress and fatigue.
Postpartum care is not a luxury—it’s part of truly caring for you, so you can better care for your family.
What to expect at your visit:
At your first appointment, we will:
-
Sit down and listen to your story, concerns, and goals.
-
Review your health history, pregnancy or birth details, and how you’re feeling now.
-
Perform a gentle exam to assess your spine, pelvis, and nervous system.
-
Explain what we find in simple, clear language.
If chiropractic care is a good fit, we’ll outline a plan that feels realistic for you and your family—no pressure, just support.
Each adjustment is gentle, specific, and tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum healing. You stay in control, and we move at a pace that feels right for you.
