PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM CHIROPRACTIC
Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Matters
Pregnancy puts extraordinary demand on your body — and on your nervous system. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, ligaments loosen, and your pelvis adapts to make room. For many mamas, that means low back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, and sleep that never quite feels restful.
Neurologically-focused chiropractic care during pregnancy isn't just about managing pain. It's about creating the best possible environment for your baby to grow and for your body to prepare for birth — by keeping your nervous system clear, your pelvis balanced, and your spine aligned.
At Social House Chiropractic, both Dr. Collin Walding and Dr. Kara Rodriguez are Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association — the gold standard for prenatal chiropractic training.
How We Support You Through Every Trimester
Your body changes dramatically from the first trimester to the third, and your care should reflect that. Here's how we help at each stage:
First Trimester — Your nervous system is laying the foundation for everything that follows. Early adjustments support healthy adaptation as hormones shift and your body begins to change.
Second Trimester — As your baby grows, pelvic alignment becomes critical. This is when many mamas begin experiencing round ligament pain, hip discomfort, and postural changes. The Webster Technique helps maintain balance and comfort.
Third Trimester — Birth preparation is the priority. Pelvic balance supports optimal baby positioning, and regular adjustments help keep your nervous system regulated as your body prepares for labor and delivery.
Our Approach — Webster Technique & Gentle Adjustments
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed for pregnancy. It focuses on the sacrum and pelvis — reducing tension in surrounding ligaments and muscles to restore balance and reduce constraint.
Every pregnant mama at Social House receives Webster-specific care as part of her treatment plan. It's gentle, safe for all trimesters, and designed to support both mom and baby.
Postpartum Recovery & Healing
Birth is one of the most physically intense experiences your body will go through. Whether you delivered vaginally or via C-section, your body needs time — and support — to recover.
Postpartum chiropractic helps with realignment after delivery, nervous system regulation during the fourth trimester, breastfeeding-related neck and shoulder tension, and the physical demands of caring for a newborn.
Common Pregnancy Conditions We Help With
Many of the discomforts women experience during pregnancy are directly related to pelvic misalignment and nervous system stress. We regularly support mamas dealing with:
Breech positioning — Webster Technique to support optimal baby positioning.
Round ligament pain — Gentle pelvic adjustments to relieve tension and sharp pain.
Sciatica during pregnancy — Spinal alignment to reduce nerve compression.
Pelvic pain & SPD — Pelvic balancing for symphysis pubis dysfunction and instability.
