Back pain is one of the most common challenges during pregnancy—and it can make even simple daily activities feel difficult.
At Broadstone Chiropractic, Dr. Collins provides gentle, pregnancy-safe care designed to relieve discomfort and support your body as it changes. Using techniques like the Webster Technique, she focuses on improving pelvic balance, reducing tension, and helping you move more comfortably throughout your pregnancy.
Her approach is always personalized, supportive, and centered on both your comfort and your baby’s safety.
What Causes Back Pain During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy places unique physical demands on your body, especially your spine and pelvis.
Many women experience:
• Lower back pain and stiffness
• Pelvic discomfort or pressure
• Sciatic nerve pain (shooting pain down the leg)
• Mid-back tension
• Changes in posture and balance
As your body changes, added weight, shifting posture, and hormonal changes can affect joint stability and muscle tension—leading to increased strain on your back.
Chiropractic care can help address these changes and support better alignment and movement.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on supporting your body—not forcing it.
Using gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques, we aim to:
• Reduce tension in the spine and surrounding muscles
• Improve pelvic alignment and balance
• Relieve pressure on nerves
• Support more comfortable movement
The Webster Technique, in particular, is designed to help maintain proper pelvic alignment during pregnancy, which may reduce discomfort and support overall function.
Care is always adapted to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level.
