Prenatal & Pregnancy Chiropractic, Folsom CA
As your body changes to carry your baby, gentle prenatal chiropractic care helps you stay comfortable and balanced.
The condition
Understanding pregnancy chiropractic
Pregnancy asks a lot of your body — ligaments stretch, the pelvis shifts and the spine adapts to carry your baby’s growing weight. Prenatal chiropractic care uses gentle, specialized techniques to relieve that strain and keep the pelvis balanced, supporting both mother and baby.
What to look for
Signs & symptoms
- Low back pain and sciatica
- Hip and pelvic discomfort

- Nausea and general body aches
- Discomfort that increases in the third trimester
How we help
Our approach to care
Care is provided on a table designed for pregnancy — with a cutout that keeps all pressure off your belly — and adjustments are gentle and comfortable. By restoring balance to the pelvis and spine, prenatal care can ease pain, improve nervous-system function and help create room for optimal baby positioning. It is considered safe when performed by a trained provider.
