Chiropractic care during pregnancy requires an individualized safety assessment, communication with the pregnancy healthcare team, and techniques appropriate for the patient’s condition.
Clinical history, pregnancy complications, current symptoms, and medical guidance can affect the plan. Our chiropractic assessment helps us decide whether care should be modified, delayed, or coordinated with your obstetric provider or midwife.
