Prenatal Chiropractor in Redmond, WA

Pregnancy is a time of incredible change—but it can also bring discomfort, especially in the low back, hips, and pelvis. At Eastside Ideal Health, our experienced prenatal chiropractors offer safe, gentle care designed to support your changing body and promote comfort throughout every stage of your pregnancy.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is widely recognized as safe when performed by trained professionals using specialized techniques. We use gentle, low-force adjustments and pregnancy-specific positioning—including special tables and cushions—to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and protected during every visit.

Common Discomforts We Help Treat

Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues can impact daily life. Our prenatal care can help relieve:

• Low back and sacroiliac joint pain
• Hip and pelvic discomfort, including round ligament tension
• Pubic symphysis pain (pelvic girdle instability)
• Neck and shoulder strain from postural changes
• Sciatic nerve irritation and leg numbness
• Postural tension from baby’s growth and shifting weight

The Webster Technique: Supporting Pelvic Balance

We are trained in the Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic method designed to promote proper pelvic alignment and reduce intrauterine constraint. By addressing tension in the muscles and ligaments around the pelvis, this technique may help improve comfort and support optimal fetal positioning—especially in the third trimester.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Every expectant mother receives personalized care. Here’s what a prenatal visit includes:

• Postural and pelvic alignment screening
• Gentle spinal or pelvic adjustments using side-lying or supported positioning
• Soft tissue therapy to release tension in overworked areas
• Stretching guidance and home exercises to maintain relief between visits
• Education on sleep posture, movement habits, and ergonomic tips

Backed by Clinical Research

“Chiropractic care during pregnancy is associated with reduced back pain intensity, improved function, and decreased need for pain medication.”

When to Avoid Chiropractic Care

While chiropractic care is safe for most healthy pregnancies, we do not recommend treatment if you are experiencing:

• Vaginal bleeding or preterm labor symptoms
• Placenta previa or abruption
• Severe preeclampsia or hypertension
• Ruptured membranes

If any of these conditions are present, we’ll refer you to your OB provider for proper management.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start chiropractic care during pregnancy?

Many women begin as early as the first trimester, but we work with patients at any stage. Third-trimester care is especially helpful for pelvic comfort and fetal positioning.

How often should I be adjusted?

Frequency depends on your needs. Some women come weekly in the third trimester, others less often. We’ll tailor your schedule based on your goals and symptoms.

Can chiropractic care help with labor?

Studies suggest proper pelvic alignment may support shorter labor and improved delivery positioning. While results vary, many patients report positive birth experiences.
