Chiropractic Care:

​

A baby growing in your uterus often affects your body’s alignment, sometimes causing discomfort and pain.  Chiropractic care can provide great relief, and can also prepare your body for birth, encouraging the baby into an optimal position and aligning your uterus, pelvis, and spine to work well together during labor.  The practitioners listed here have experience and training to work specifically with pregnant women.
