Perinatal Chiropractic
During pregnancy, your body goes through incredible changes to support your growing baby. Those changes can often come with increased discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care helps your body adapt safely and comfortably, reducing tension and easing pain as pregnancy progresses.
Many moms also experience shorter labor and delivery time, fewer nausea symptoms, and relief from back, neck, and joint pain.
​
Dr. Megan is Perinatal Certified, having completed 80 additional hours of advanced training for the care of women, before, during, and after pregnancy, helping moms feel their best at every stage.
Regular chiropractic care, along with proper nutrition and exercise, can help women get well, stay well, and be their best throughout pregnancy and delivery.
Prenatal chiropractic care can help relieve low back pain, support balanced uterine ligaments, and includes fascial and soft tissue techniques around the fetus to reduce in-utero constraint. These adjustments can improve circulation, create more comfort.

Lacy
"I went for help with my lower back pain I was experiencing during pregnancy. She not only treated me but helped teach me exercises that would help with labor and delivery. I didn't use chiropractic with my first child. By choosing this practice, I labored for a third of the time and pushed for only five minutes. I recommend prenatal chiropractic care for all expecting mothers."
Liv
"Dr. Megan is absolutely amazing. I have struggled with migraines and they have decreased dramatically after being seen. She's also trained in pregnancy and prenatal and adjusted me during pregnancy. Before I came in, I could barely walk. I believe it also helped with a smooth delivery."
Hannah
"My husband and I moved our family to Des Moines while I was pregnant with our second child. I was super uncomfortable and had a lot of pain. They are the reason I was able to handle the rest of my third trimester and find relief. I was able to keep up with our son and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy."
Can you receive chiropractic care during pregnancy?
Yes! There are significant structural changes taking place as your body grows with your baby and prepares for labor and delivery. Addressing those changes helps decrease discomfort and optimize the structure of the pelvis, which the baby will pass through during delivery.
​
When should you start prenatal chiropractic care?
There is no single right time to begin chiropractic care during pregnancy. Many expectant moms schedule an initial appointment during the first trimester and continue care throughout, though you're welcome to start at any point.

What is "Webster Technique?"
Webster technique is a specific analysis used to assess the pelvic integrity of pregnant women. In conjunction with specific adjustments of the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding structures, it can help restore balance to this region during pregnancy. Dr. Megan and Dr. Adam are both certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) in Webster Technique.
