Pregnancy Chiropractic in Auburn
During pregnancy, it’s common for women to experience various aches and pains. Because medications have side effects that could harm the baby, chiropractic care is ideal. It’s all-natural, safe and effective. For those moms-to-be that are in pain, many times, their obstetrician refers them to our office because they know that we’ll take good care of them.
Providing Comfortable Care
The care we provide is always dependent upon the patient’s comfort level. We’re not going to do anything they’re not comfortable with. Everything, including the procedures we’ll use, is thoroughly explained in advance. We usually start with a conservative approach.
We can customize each adjustment and each technique. Several options are available for the patient depending on their particular needs, body type, shape, comfort level and experience.
In addition to multiple techniques at our disposal, we have several different types of tables that can accommodate all trimesters of pregnancy.
Offering Exercises
In addition to chiropractic care, we’ll do active therapy with patients in the form of different types of stretching and exercises, A lot of the reasons pregnant women have lower back pain has to do with the weight changes and the weight shifts as their body is growing. We find those exercises are helpful. Some different yoga routines also will be provided that are pregnancy-specific.

The Importance of Proactive Care
