Prenatal Care
Pregnancy creates changes in posture, balance, gait, pelvic mechanics, and spinal loading.
What it is
Pregnancy chiropractic focuses on comfort, mobility, and function through each stage of pregnancy — using gentle techniques and modifications appropriate to the patient's health history.
Pregnancy chiropractic provides individualized musculoskeletal care focused on comfort, mobility, posture, and function as the body changes.
Care should be gentle, patient-centered, evidence-informed, and adapted to the patient's stage of pregnancy and health history.

Patient-friendly summary
Low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and combined pain are common during pregnancy and can meaningfully affect function and quality of life. Research on chiropractic and manual therapies during pregnancy is promising in some studies, but the overall evidence base remains limited and additional high-quality research is needed.
Why this matters
Care during pregnancy should be gentle, individualized, and coordinated with your OB or midwife. We do not claim chiropractic care shortens labor, turns babies, or prevents complications — the goal is comfort, mobility, and support through a demanding season.

We are so thankful that we found Dr. Hunter when we were looking for holistic chiropractic care. Dr. Hunter treated me throughout my entire pregnancy, as well as my husband, and now our newborn baby. Dr. Hunter and Octavia always make us feel like family, and we can't say enough about the positive impact they have had on our family's health.
