Prenatal Chiropractic

Prenatal Chiropractic

Gentle care designed specifically for expecting mothers' changing needs.

Pregnancy creates significant changes in a woman's posture and center of gravity. Our Webster-certified practitioners provide safe, effective care for Boulder moms-to-be experiencing back pain, sciatica, or pelvic discomfort.

We use specialized techniques and pregnancy pillows to ensure comfort during treatment. Regular prenatal chiropractic care can help prepare the pelvis for labor and may reduce delivery time. Many of our patients from Boulder's family neighborhoods like Mapleton Hill continue care postpartum to address nursing posture and lifting strain from caring for newborns.
