We offer natural, hands-on care to help expecting mothers feel more at ease, move better, and stay aligned as their bodies shift. Our focus isn’t just on temporary relief—it’s about creating a better foundation for pregnancy and delivery by supporting the nervous system through every stage.

How Does Chiropractic Help During Pregnancy?

As your body prepares for birth, you might notice new aches, shifts in posture, and increased strain on your joints. That’s where chiropractic is incredibly helpful. Dr. Jeff offers gentle adjustments to ease tension, improve mobility, and reduce nerve interference.

Using techniques that are modified for pregnancy—including the Activator® tool, drop table, and low-force manual adjustments—he aims to improve your body’s function so you can feel more comfortable as your baby grows. While we’re not Webster-certified, we do draw on key elements of that technique when needed, especially to ease tension in the pelvis and help with balance.

Every visit is tailored to you and your baby’s stage of development. We also understand that trust matters during pregnancy, and we’re here to answer your questions and provide reassurance every step of the way.

What You Might Notice With Regular Care

Some moms-to-be first come to us for lower back or pelvic discomfort. Others are simply looking to feel better as their bodies change. Common benefits our patients share include:

  • Less pressure in the low back and hips
  • Fewer headaches and less tension
  • Better sleep and more energy
  • Easier movement and improved posture
  • A smoother labor and delivery process

Studies—and our own experience here at Stackis Chiropractic—suggest that regular chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can lead to shorter, more efficient birth experiences,” says Dr. Jeff.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your first appointment is relaxed and informative. Dr. Jeff will ask about your pregnancy, any discomfort you’re having, and what you hope to get out of care. Every person is different. That’s why he always takes time to check in, listen closely, and adjust care as your pregnancy progresses. Our goal is always to help you feel your best so you can stay focused on what matters most—preparing for your growing family.

Dr. Jeff will also explain everything as he goes, and always check in before adjusting. We also use specialized pregnancy pillows and tables to keep you and your baby safe and comfortable during care.

Continuing Support After Baby Arrives

Just because your baby is here doesn’t mean the stress on your body is gone. Postpartum care is just as critical. We’re here to help realign your spine, ease any post-birth tension, and support your body as it adapts to nursing, carrying, and caring for your newborn. It’s our desire to help you feel strong and supported—before, during, and after pregnancy.
