Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to your body — and with them, new physical demands. As your baby grows and you gain upwards of 30 pounds, considerable stress is placed on your back, hips, knees, and feet. This growth causes your abdominal muscles to become stretched and less able to stabilize your posture. Additionally, relaxin — a hormone that increases tenfold in the third trimester — loosens your joints to help the pelvis accommodate your developing baby. As a result, the muscles of your back and pelvis must work overtime to keep you upright and balanced, often leading to pain and discomfort.

Chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle way to support your body through these changes.

Common pregnancy-related concerns that chiropractic care may help with include:

• Lower back and hip pain
• Pelvic misalignment caused by hormonal changes and weight gain
• Postural strain as your centre of gravity shifts
• Reduced mobility and joint stiffness

Yes, at Uptown Chiropractic, we use the Activator Method — a non-invasive, specific technique that is safe throughout pregnancy — to restore pelvic and spinal alignment, ease muscle tension, and improve overall mobility.
