    Helping You Stay Comfortable, Active, and Moving Well Throughout Pregnancy

    Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body. As your baby grows, shifts in posture, weight distribution, and joint mobility can place added stress on the spine, pelvis, hips, and surrounding muscles.

    Many women experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, hip pain, sciatica, and other musculoskeletal challenges that can make everyday activities less comfortable.

    At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on helping expectant mothers move comfortably, stay active, and navigate these physical changes with greater confidence. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, the stage of pregnancy, and the specific concerns being addressed.

    Common Pregnancy Related Complaints

    Pregnancy affects every woman differently, but some of the most common reasons women seek care include:

    Low back pain
    Pelvic discomfort
    Hip pain
    Pregnancy related sciatica
    Mid back pain
    Neck pain
    Rib discomfort
    Joint stiffness
    Postural changes
    Difficulty getting comfortable while sitting, standing, or sleeping

    As pregnancy progresses, the body is constantly adapting, which can place increasing demands on the musculoskeletal system.

    Why Seek Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

    Many pregnancy related aches and pains are mechanical in nature, meaning they are influenced by how the joints, muscles, and supporting structures are moving and functioning.

    Chiropractic care may help support:

    • Improved mobility
    • Better movement quality
    • Reduced joint restrictions
    • Improved posture
    • Greater physical comfort
    • An active and healthy pregnancy

    The goal is not simply symptom relief, but helping women continue doing the activities that are important to them throughout pregnancy.

    The Importance of Pelvic and Hip Mobility

    The pelvis and hips play an important role throughout pregnancy. When mobility becomes restricted or movement patterns change, additional stress may be placed on the lower back, hips, pelvis, and surrounding tissues.

    Evaluating how these areas function together often provides valuable insight into the source of discomfort and helps guide treatment recommendations.

    How We Evaluate Pregnancy Related Pain

    Every pregnancy evaluation begins with a detailed history and examination. Depending on your symptoms, the evaluation may include:

    Postural assessment
    Movement evaluation
    Range of motion testing
    Functional movement assessment
    Pelvic and hip mobility evaluation
    Orthopedic testing
    Gait assessment

    This process helps identify the factors contributing to discomfort and allows treatment recommendations to be tailored to your specific needs.

    How We Treat Pregnancy Related Conditions

    Every pregnancy is different, which is why treatment plans are individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.

    Pregnancy Specific Chiropractic Adjustments

    Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are modified to accommodate the physical changes that occur throughout each trimester. The goal is to improve mobility, reduce mechanical stress, and support healthy movement throughout the spine, pelvis, and hips.

    Movement and Exercise Recommendations

    Remaining active during pregnancy can be beneficial for many women. Depending on your needs, recommendations may include:

    • Mobility exercises
    • Stretching routines
    • Postural exercises
    • Movement strategies
    • Activity modifications
    • Pregnancy appropriate exercise recommendations

    Postural and Lifestyle Guidance

    Small changes in daily habits can often make a meaningful difference. Recommendations may include guidance on:

    • Sitting posture
    • Standing posture
    • Sleep positioning
    • Workstation setup
    • Daily movement habits
    • Activity modifications

    Staying Active During Pregnancy

    One of the most common concerns expectant mothers have is whether they can safely continue exercising and staying active. While every pregnancy is unique, many women can continue participating in physical activity with appropriate modifications.

    Our approach focuses on helping patients maintain healthy movement, adapt to the physical changes of pregnancy, and continue participating in the activities that are important to them whenever possible.

    Our Approach to Pregnancy Care

    At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, pregnancy care is centered around helping women move well throughout one of the most physically demanding times in life.

    Rather than focusing only on where pain occurs, we evaluate how the body is adapting to pregnancy as a whole and develop treatment recommendations based on your individual needs and goals. The objective is simple: help you stay comfortable, stay active, and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible.
