What Pregnancy Does to Your Body

Pregnancy changes how your body carries weight, moves, rests, and recovers. It can also change how you feel from week to week, and that is worth taking seriously rather than pushing through silently.

Dr. Natalie adapts every part of the visit to your stage of pregnancy, your symptoms, your comfort, and your goals. What feels comfortable in early pregnancy may be completely different later on, so she checks in with you at every visit and adjusts the setup, the pressure, and the plan as your body and your needs change.

The focus stays on your comfort, your movement, and how you feel day to day. Care may include gentle joint techniques, soft-tissue treatment, taping, and exercises when they are appropriate for where you are in your pregnancy.

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 that is helpful.

Changes You Might Notice During Pregnancy

Pregnancy changes how your body carries weight, moves, rests, and responds to everyday activity. The areas that feel different can also change from one trimester to the next, which is one reason care needs to keep changing with you.

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?

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!

What Pregnancy Care with Dr. Natalie Looks Like

Care is planned with you, based on what you are experiencing, what you prefer, and the goals that matter to you.

Pregnancy-aware assessment

Dr. Natalie starts by listening. She considers your stage of pregnancy, health history, how you move, your daily demands, and the positions that change your symptoms.

Adapted hands-on care

Treatment positions and techniques are adjusted for your comfort, with pillows and side-lying options when appropriate. You will never be put in a position that feels wrong.

Soft-tissue support

Gentle work may ease muscles around your back, hips, pelvis, ribs, and shoulders when that is what you need.

Movement guidance

Exercises and activity suggestions are chosen for your current needs rather than a one-size-fits-all pregnancy program.

What Your First Visit Looks Like

Your first visit is a full 60 minutes, with no rushing and plenty of time for your questions. It starts with a conversation, and treatment only happens when you feel ready.

Before you book, you can review visit pricing and insurance and billing information.

Talk through what has changed

Dr. Natalie asks about your pregnancy, your symptoms, your daily activities, sleep, exercise, and any guidance from your maternity care provider. There is no such thing as a silly question here.

Assess comfortably

The examination uses positions that work for you and focuses on the areas connected to your concerns. Everything is explained before it happens.

Review suitable options

Dr. Natalie explains what she recommends, what she will avoid, and how care can be adapted as your pregnancy progresses. The decision is always yours.

Plan for home

You may leave with movement or positioning suggestions that are practical for your current stage.

Dr Natalie Lopez is so professional, takes her time to understand your symptoms and provides practical follow up exercises that you can do anywhere! She treated me both pre & post natal which made my healing and delivery so much easier. My daughter started seeing her when she was a couple of months and with Natalie’s help we were able to catch slight adjustments needed earlier on that were helpful for her growth and development. I would highly recommend her for all your Chiropractic needs at all stages in your life.

I work at a desk all day, I also have some old injuries. I found I was having a lot more constant pain due to this. I had trouble working, exercising and sleeping due to the pain. I was going for massages but it wasn't enough. My massage therapist recommend Natalie to me and I started working with her in 2023. So far it was been great! I noticed a huge difference once starting chiropractic treatment. Not only has the constant pain reduced, she often give exercise and stretches to help strengthen and heal your body from repetitive actions. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a chiropractor.

That is about keeping you and your baby safe, and she will help you figure out the right starting point.

Is Dr. Natalie Webster certified?

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 the relevant pelvic, hip, back, and muscle findings and uses pregnancy-adapted care when chiropractic treatment is appropriate. She will also be honest when another provider, such as pelvic floor physiotherapy, may be the better next step.

Can chiropractic help with sciatica during pregnancy?

Leg symptoms during pregnancy can have several causes, so the first step is understanding what is going on for you. 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, and 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?

You would not be the first person to feel that way, and it is completely okay to say so. Dr. Natalie hears this often at the start of a first visit and takes it seriously. She explains every step before she does it, answers every question, and goes at your pace. Nothing happens without your understanding and consent, and you can pause or stop at any time.
