Prenatal & Postnatal Chiropractic in Georgetown & Taunton – Move Comfortably, Safely
Our pre/postnatal chiropractic care uses gentle spinal and pelvic adjustments, soft-tissue work, and tailored exercise to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support confident movement before and after birth—without relying on medication.
Why Pregnancy & Postpartum Pain Happens
Pregnancy changes posture, breathing mechanics, and load through the pelvis and spine. Hormonal ligament laxity, a shifting center of mass, and altered gait patterns can stress joints and soft tissues—often leading to low-back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica-type leg symptoms, and rib or mid-back tension. Postpartum, core and hip control take time to rebound, especially after C-section or prolonged labor.
Common findings: sacroiliac (SI) irritation, pubic symphysis discomfort, lumbar stiffness, glute inhibition, thoracic/rib restriction, round-ligament tension, posture and breathing changes.
Addressing the root cause—pelvic mechanics, spinal motion, soft-tissue tone, and progressive loading—provides more durable relief than chasing symptoms alone.
Typical Concerns We See
- Low-back and pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
- SI joint irritation & pubic symphysis dysfunction
- Sciatica-type leg pain and hip tightness
- Mid-back/rib restriction and breathing discomfort
- Postpartum core coordination & return-to-activity guidance
Results You Can Expect
- Gentle pain relief and smoother daily movement
- Better pelvic balance and spinal mobility
- Improved sleep positioning and activity tolerance
- Confidence returning to walking, lifting, and workouts
Gentle Spinal & Pelvic Adjustments
Comfort-focused techniques (including drop-assist and mobilization when indicated) improve joint motion and reduce muscle guarding—performed with pregnancy pillows and positioning for safety.
- Lumbar, pelvic/SI, and thoracic/rib mechanics
- Mobilization or instrument-assisted options for sensitivity
- Positioning to avoid abdominal pressure
Core, Hips & Breath
Targeted activation and motor control support everyday tasks and postpartum recovery.
- Diaphragmatic breathing & rib mobility
- Glute activation & hip hinge patterning
- Pelvic tilts, gentle core endurance progressions
Positioning & Lifestyle
Simple changes reduce daily strain and improve sleep and caregiving comfort.
- Side-sleeping setup with pillow support
- Lift/carry strategies (stroller, car seat, babywearing)
- Gradual walk & strength plan; referral to pelvic floor PT when appropriate
What to Expect in Care
We start with a focused history and movement assessment, then outline a step-by-step plan: calm pain, restore motion, and build pelvic/core control. Sessions are comfortable and collaborative; we coordinate with your OB/midwife or other providers as needed.
When We Modify or Don’t Adjust
We screen for red flags and choose the safest approach. With acute trauma, unexplained bleeding, fever/infection, progressive neurological changes, or other concerns, we coordinate care and refer. Positioning avoids abdominal pressure; techniques are adapted for comfort at every stage.
Better Together
- Adjustments + soft-tissue + graded exercise
- Breath/posture coaching & sleep positioning
- Team approach with OB/midwife & pelvic floor PT when appropriate

Pre/Postnatal Chiropractic Care FAQs
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when properly assessed and modified. We use pregnancy pillows and gentle techniques, avoiding abdominal pressure and screening for red flags at each visit.
When should I start?
Any trimester can be appropriate with the right modifications. Early care helps manage changes as they happen; late-pregnancy care focuses on comfort and mobility.
Do you use the Webster approach?
We use pelvic balance concepts similar to Webster to reduce maternal musculoskeletal tension. It does not “turn” babies; the goal is comfortable, balanced movement for mom.
How soon after birth can I come in?
Once you’re medically cleared and comfortable, we can begin gentle mobility and coordination work. We coordinate with your OB/midwife and refer to pelvic floor PT when appropriate.
Will I get a home plan?
Yes—simple breathing, core, and hip drills plus positioning tips for feeding, carrying, and sleep to protect your back and pelvis.
Do you take insurance?
Coverage varies by plan and service. We’ll help you understand benefits and provide a transparent estimate before care.
