Our Approach to Prenatal Chiropractic Care

At Crux Sport & Spine, Dr. Kati Smith is committed to providing exceptional prenatal chiropractic care, making your pregnancy as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of your pelvic biomechanics to help reduce pregnancy-related aches and pains. We use a gentle, highly effective method known as the Webster Technique, designed specifically for expectant mothers.

Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care

  • Relief from back, pelvic, and neck pain
  • A healthier and more comfortable pregnancy
  • Easier, smoother birth experience
  • Faster postpartum recovery
  • Improved baby positioning for pregnancy and delivery

How Often Do We Treat During Pregnancy?

Our treatment plans are personalized to meet your individual needs and comfort level. For those not experiencing severe pain or discomfort, here’s a general guideline for chiropractic care frequency:

  • 1st Trimester: 1 visit
  • 2nd Trimester: 1x/month
  • 3rd Trimester: 1x/2 weeks
  • Last Month: 1x/week

During your initial visit, Dr. Kati will assess your condition and recommend how often you should come in for adjustments. If you're dealing with significant pain or discomfort, your treatment plan may include more frequent visits or adjustments as needed. As your pregnancy progresses, we will adapt your care plan to address any new aches or changes. Leading up to your due date, more frequent visits can help ensure your body is properly aligned for labor and delivery.
