pregnancy care

For many pregnant women, aches and pains in the lower back and hips are part of the experience as the body is changing and growing. We are here to give you some relief and ensure pelvic alignment for your growing baby!

To adjust pregnant women, the chiropractors at Rise use adjusting pillows to accommodate growing bellies. The chiropractors will show you effective stretches and lifestyle tips for relieving tension and discomfort.

Dr. Vanessa is trained in the Webster Technique for the Pregnant Population. The Webster Technique is a gentle yet specific treatment technique designed specifically for pregnant patients to help ease the symptoms of an unbalanced pelvis. The goal of treatment is to reduce the tension in the lower back, hips and pelvis and improve alignment.
