CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic
Calgary's Most Experienced Prenatal Chiropractic Team
For over 15 years, our prenatal chiropractors have made pregnancy their focus, and we were one of the first clinics in Calgary to offer prenatal chiropractic care as a dedicated theme rather than an occasional service tacked onto general chiropractic care.
A pregnant body goes through real physiological changes, from shifting posture and loosening ligaments to changes in balance and weight distribution, and those changes call for a more subtle approach than standard chiropractic care. Our prenatal chiropractors complete additional training specifically for working with pregnant patients, so every adjustment is more measured and more gentle, tailored to what a pregnant body actually needs.
The majority of the patients we see are pregnant, and that focus has earned us a strong reputation among Calgary families for prenatal chiropractic care. We also support women after birth, helping the body return to the state it was in before pregnancy through gentle, targeted postnatal care.
Why do people come for Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care treats issues such as:
- Back pain
- Range of movement issues
- Prenatal discomforts
- Postnatal issues
- Pediatric
Chiropractic care addresses issues of the muscles and spinal system. Chiropractic care helps with pain, restricted movement, soft tissue tightness and imbalances.
Chiropractic care uses manual therapy, spinal adjustments and soft-tissue manipulation as an alternative to pain relief medications and surgery. Our Chiropractors are trained in specific prenatal and postnatal techniques that help ease the physical changes that your body goes through. Our Chiropractors combine chiropractic treatments with muscle release techniques as well as active home care recommendations (stretches and exercises). Often, our Chiros also refer to acupuncture and massage for increased relief.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors are trained in techniques that are safe for both mother and baby, and they use special equipment designed to accommodate your growing belly comfortably. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing your due date, chiropractic care can support your overall well-being, helping you feel your best throughout your pregnancy.
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, but these changes can sometimes lead to discomfort, pain, and misalignment. Our specialized prenatal chiropractic care focuses on helping expectant mothers maintain balance and comfort as their bodies adapt to pregnancy.
Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are safe, gentle, and specifically tailored to the needs of each mother. By improving spinal alignment and addressing issues like back pain, pelvic discomfort, and postural changes, chiropractic care can help relieve many common pregnancy symptoms. It also helps prepare the body for labor by ensuring optimal pelvic alignment, which may lead to a smoother delivery experience.
Postnatal Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care can be a gentle, supportive part of postnatal recovery, helping new moms feel more balanced and comfortable in their bodies after the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and joints, promoting better posture, relieving tension, and supporting the body’s natural healing process.
Postnatal women often experience issues like low back pain, pelvic misalignment, tailbone discomfort, neck and shoulder tension (especially from nursing or carrying a baby), and even wrist pain from repetitive movements like feeding and lifting.
Chiropractic care can provide relief for these common concerns by improving joint mobility, reducing nerve irritation, and easing muscular strain. Gentle adjustments and soft-tissue techniques can also help restore function and support the recovery of the core and pelvic floor.
Beyond physical relief, chiropractic care supports the nervous system, which plays a key role in stress regulation and overall well-being.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care for kids is all about supporting healthy development. From birth through the early years, children’s bodies are growing fast, and sometimes little misalignments in the spine or joints can affect their movement, sleep, digestion, or nervous system regulation.
Many parents bring their babies and kids in for concerns like colic, difficulty latching, reflux, constipation, or sleep issues. As children grow, chiropractic can also help with posture, coordination, and recovery from tumbles, sports, or carrying heavy backpacks. The techniques used for pediatric care are safe, gentle, and always adapted for little bodies.
Chiropractic also supports the nervous system, which helps with calming, focus, and immune function. Whether it’s a fussy baby or a child struggling with recurring ear infections or frequent colds, regular chiropractic care can be part of a holistic wellness routine that keeps kids feeling their best as they grow.
Prenatal Chiropractic FAQs
Q: How can chiropractic care help during pregnancy?
A: Prenatal chiropractic care helps align the spine and pelvis, relieving discomfort and promoting better balance as your body changes. It’s especially effective for reducing low back pain, hip tightness, and pelvic pressure. When your pelvis is properly aligned, baby also has more room to move into the best birth position.
Q: Is chiropractic care safe during all stages of pregnancy?
A: Yes. Our chiropractors are trained in pregnancy-safe techniques and use gentle adjustments tailored to each trimester. We often use the Webster Technique, a specialized method designed to reduce pelvic tension and support optimal fetal positioning. Chiropractic care is non-invasive and drug-free, making it a safe choice throughout pregnancy.
Q: Can chiropractic care help turn a breech baby?
A: While chiropractors don’t manually turn babies, the Webster Technique can help by creating more space in the pelvis. This encourages the baby to move into a head-down position naturally. Many expectant parents seek care starting around week 32–34 if their baby is breech.
Postnatal Chiropractic FAQs
Q: Why might I need chiropractic care after giving birth?
A: Your body goes through major changes during and after delivery. Postnatal chiropractic care helps restore pelvic and spinal alignment, easing common issues like low back pain, neck tension (from breastfeeding or holding baby), and pelvic instability. It also supports your recovery and energy levels as you adjust to life with your newborn.
Q: Is chiropractic care safe while breastfeeding or after a C-section?
A: Yes. Chiropractic care is safe whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section. Techniques are gentle and adapted to your healing body. If you’re breastfeeding, we can also address upper back and neck strain caused by long feeding sessions and poor posture.
Q: How soon after birth should I see a chiropractor?
A: Some new moms come in as soon as a week or two after delivery—especially if they’re dealing with pain or discomfort. Others wait until six weeks postpartum. There’s no one-size-fits-all, but sooner care often means quicker recovery, especially for pelvic alignment and mobility.
