Prenatal Chiropractic for Every Trimester in Traverse City

As your pregnancy progresses, your center of gravity shifts, ligaments loosen, & your pelvis adapts to make room for your growing baby, often showing up as low back pain, sciatica, or restless nights.

At ChiropractHer, prenatal visits start with hot-stone muscle work to ease tension and improve blood flow, followed by a gentle, trimester-appropriate adjustment on our pregnancy pillow. There's no pressure placed on your abdomen at any point in care.

We use the Webster Technique to reduce tension across the pelvis and its supporting ligaments, supporting pelvic balance so your baby has room to settle into position for birth.

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis & adjustment developed to reduce tension across the pelvis & its supporting muscles & ligaments. It's taught through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), & it's a technique that Dr. Marissa at ChiropractHer is certified in.

By improving the range of motion in the sacrum & the resulting tension on the round & sacrotuberous ligaments, the Webster Technique supports better pelvic balance & nervous system function throughout pregnancy. Many patients seek it out specifically in the third trimester when babies are settling into position for birth, though it's appropriate to begin at any stage.

As an ICPA-certified provider, this analysis is part of nearly every prenatal visit at our Traverse City practice, alongside a full assessment of your spine, posture, & daily movement patterns.
