What Pregnancy Does to Your Body

Pregnancy changes how the body carries load, moves, rests, and recovers. Dr. Natalie adapts every assessment and treatment to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, comfort, and goals.

What feels comfortable in early pregnancy may be different later on. Dr. Natalie checks in at each visit and adjusts the treatment setup, pressure, and plan as your body and needs change.

The focus stays on your comfort, movement, and daily function. Care may include gentle joint techniques, soft-tissue treatment, taping, and exercises when appropriate. Chiropractic care does not replace prenatal medical care. Dr. Natalie works within her scope and encourages coordination with your obstetrician, midwife, pelvic floor physiotherapist, or other providers when helpful.

What Pregnancy Can Change in Your Body

Pregnancy changes how the body carries load, moves, rests, and responds to everyday activity. The areas that feel different can also change from one trimester to the next.

Lower back and hip discomfort as load and movement change
Pelvic girdle or sacroiliac joint discomfort
Sciatica-like symptoms travelling from the lower back into the leg
Rib, shoulder, and upper-back tension
Round-ligament or abdominal discomfort that should be discussed with the appropriate maternity-care provider

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy-adapted chiropractic care uses supported positions and techniques selected for your stage, health history, symptoms, and comfort. Dr. Natalie is Webster trained. She does not use that training as a promise about fetal position or birth outcomes. Her pregnancy care stays focused on comfort, movement, and appropriate coordination with your maternity-care team.

Dr. Natalie adapts care throughout pregnancy, using supported positions and techniques selected for your stage, health history, symptoms, and comfort.

Pregnancy-adapted joint and movement care
Soft-tissue treatment for relevant back, hip, rib, and shoulder tension
Support pillows and side-lying or seated positions when helpful
Practical movement and home-care guidance for your current stage
Coordination with your obstetrician, midwife, pelvic floor physiotherapist, or family doctor when needed

Natalie is the best! I have been seeing her for about 4 years, initially she helped relieve my neck and shoulder stiffness, and this past year she helped me through my pregnancy. She knew exactly where my body would be feeling the strain of pregnancy and was able to relieve the tension I did not know I had!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy when provided appropriately. Dr. Natalie adapts positioning and techniques to your stage of pregnancy, health history, and comfort.

Do I need permission from my maternity care provider?

A referral is not usually required. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, new symptoms, or medical concerns, Dr. Natalie may ask you to speak with your obstetrician, midwife, or family doctor before or alongside care.

Can I lie on my stomach during treatment?

Care can be provided in side-lying, seated, or other supported positions. Dr. Natalie chooses the setup that is comfortable and appropriate for you.

Is Dr. Natalie Webster certified?

Dr. Natalie is Webster trained, not certified. She does not use Webster training as a promise about fetal position or birth outcomes.

What is pelvic girdle pain and how does chiropractic help?

Pelvic girdle pain is discomfort around the front or back of the pelvis that can occur as load, movement, and tissue demands change during pregnancy. Dr. Natalie assesses relevant pelvic, hip, back, and muscle findings and uses pregnancy-adapted care when chiropractic treatment is appropriate.

Can chiropractic help with sciatica during pregnancy?

Leg symptoms during pregnancy can have several causes. Dr. Natalie assesses the lower back, pelvis, hips, movement, and neurological findings when appropriate, then explains whether pregnancy-adapted chiropractic care or another form of assessment should come first.

When should I start seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy?

You can start at any point during pregnancy. Some patients come as early as their first trimester. Others come later when discomfort builds. There is no wrong time to start, and every stage of pregnancy brings different considerations. Dr. Natalie will assess where your body is at and work from there.

What if I am nervous about treatment?

That is one of the most common things Dr. Natalie hears at the start of a first visit, and she takes it seriously. She explains every step before she does it, answers all your questions, and goes at your pace. Nothing happens without your understanding and consent.
