Pregnancy and Postpartum Chiropractic in South Elgin
Care for expecting and new moms
Some of Our Favorite Patients
Dr. Serrano says pregnant moms are among his favorite patients to care for, and it is personal. His wife received regular chiropractic adjustments throughout her pregnancies, and both of their daughters have been adjusted since they were born.
Pregnancy changes the body quickly. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, your lower back and pelvis take on more load, and hormones loosen some joints while others stiffen. Back pain, hip pain, round ligament discomfort and sciatica are some of the most common reasons expecting moms come to see us.
Gentle and adapted to you
Comfortable Care at Every Stage
Care during pregnancy is gentle and adapted to your comfort and stage. The focus is on keeping the spine and pelvis moving well and balanced, which can reduce strain on the lower back and hips, ease nerve irritation, and help you move more comfortably as your body changes. We also look at posture, because a growing belly tends to pull you forward and can make deep breaths harder.
We are always happy to coordinate with your OB or midwife, and we will ask about your pregnancy history before any care begins. For more of Dr. Serrano’s perspective, read Feel Better, Birth Better on our blog.
After your baby arrives
Postpartum Recovery Matters Too
Carrying, feeding and rocking a newborn puts new demands on your neck, upper back and wrists, while your core and pelvis are still recovering. Postpartum chiropractic care helps you rebuild comfortable movement and posture during a season when your body is doing a lot.
Noelle had dealt with chronic back pain since giving birth to her first child. She wrote that within four months of care her mobility was restored and the pain was gone. When your baby is ready, our pediatric chiropractic care is gentle enough for newborns. If leg pain is your main complaint, see our sciatica care page.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Gentle chiropractic care is commonly used during pregnancy. We adapt positioning and techniques to your stage and comfort, and we review your history first. Always follow your OB or midwife’s guidance, and tell us about any pregnancy complications.
When during pregnancy can I start care?
You can start at any stage. Many moms come in when back or hip pain begins, while others start early to stay ahead of it.
Can chiropractic care help with sciatica during pregnancy?
Sciatica is one of the most common reasons expecting moms see us. Keeping the pelvis and lower back moving well can ease pressure on the nerve.
When can I come in after giving birth?
Many moms return within a few weeks, once they feel ready and their provider agrees. We will adapt care to how your recovery is going.
