Pregnancy and after birth
Chiropractic visits during and after pregnancy
Visits for expecting and new parents, at a pace you set, with your midwife or OB kept informed if you ask.
Some of our doctors use the Webster technique, a specific light adjustment of the pelvis and the soft tissue around it. Ask the front desk which doctor does. We describe what we do, and we do not claim it changes how a pregnancy goes.
Who it is for
Expecting parents at any point in a pregnancy
New parents after birth
Parents whose midwife or OB knows they are coming

How long and how often
Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and reviews it with you at each visit. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We do not claim care changes how your pregnancy or birth goes, or how your baby is positioned.
See a physician first
Check with your OB or midwife first if your pregnancy is high-risk, and call them about bleeding, a sudden severe headache or anything that worries you.
How it is paid
We bill most PPO plans and some employer plans, and you hear the fee for each part before it happens.

Questions
Questions about pregnancy
Is there a point in pregnancy when I should not come?
You can come at any point, as long as your midwife or OB knows. If your pregnancy is high-risk, check with them first.
Will you talk to my midwife or OB?
With your written permission, yes. We keep your records private and share them only as the law allows.
Can I bring my other children?
Yes. A parent can bring a child, and we can book a visit for your child in the same trip.
Book a visit during pregnancy
Pick an office and a time, and the front desk will call.
