Pregnancy Chiropractor in Plano

Our bodies are designed to function at optimal levels to maintain good health and wellness. This becomes even more important during pregnancy. Chiropractic is completely safe, effective, gentle and totally natural.

Why Do I Need Chiropractic Care?

Pregnancy increases the strain on Mom’s joints and muscles, balance issues, and pressure from an enlarged abdomen. Many have low back pain and, as a result, are looking for a natural solution for their pain instead of prescription medications. Pain and discomfort, especially in the third trimester, are common. Making sure Mom is comfortable and pain-free is good for her and the baby.

Prenatal pain is not from an injury, it results from the extra pressure on the spine while sleeping, standing, or any activity their spine is not used to. Misalignments occur more easily as the woman’s body begins preparations for birth, and swelling and inflammation are common.

Making adjustments to the spine and pelvis may relieve some of the discomfort that accompanies pregnancy. Our moms tell us how much better and smoother labor and delivery are under chiropractic care, and postpartum recovery too!

What to Expect

At Shippy Chiropractic, we encourage women to start care as early as possible to ensure any current issues are addressed before they progress. Early chiropractic care ensures your spine stays healthy and your pelvis is properly aligned, allowing your baby the room they need to move into an optimal birthing position.

As with any patient, we’ll take the time to get to know you. We’ll discuss your medical history, including any past pregnancies, and what goals you have for this one. We have a table that adjusts to help keep Mom comfortable during treatment.

Adjustments are much gentler, and there’s nothing strenuous about getting adjusted; we only do what you’re comfortable with. Your baby is completely safe; at no time will the doctor touch the child.
