Pregnancy Care at Crossroads Chiropractic
The first question everyone asks about chiropractic during pregnancy is “How safe is it?”
Everything we do is to ensure the safety of the baby and the mother. Our technique is very gentle, and there’s no major twisting, turning, or jostling of the mom.
How We Help
We want our bodies to function at as high a level as possible at all times. This becomes even more important during pregnancy. While this can be a beautiful time in a woman’s life, it can also have some major discomforts, annoyances and pain along the way.
NEW Practice Members
Seeking chiropractic care can help women have a more comfortable pregnancy. The Webster Technique is specially designed for pregnancy, to create as much space as possible in the womb, so the child can grow and develop. We also offer ChiroLux pregnancy pillows for the mom’s comfort.
Dr. Stephen makes sure the hips, pelvis, and sacrum are aligned, and the ligaments supporting the uterus are as relaxed as possible, to reduce any discomfort from carrying the child. Most women tell us that labor and delivery are much smoother and faster, and there’s less need for intervention when under chiropractic care.
An Extra Level of Care
Dr. Stephen always encourages his moms to talk about what’s going on in their lives, what’s happened since the last time he saw them, so he can address their needs. That might be offering them advice on proper nutrition, exercise, or other resources, so they can have the smoothest and easiest pregnancy and delivery.
But we go one step further. After the baby is born, if the mom is comfortable with it, Dr. Stephen visits her and the baby at home to adjust them both as a free service, since the mom was under care with him.

The sooner you and your baby come under chiropractic care, the better, but no matter when you begin, you’ll experience many benefits.
