Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey—but it also brings physical and emotional challenges that can affect your comfort, mobility, and overall wellness. At True Life Wellness, we offer specialized prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care in Waukee, IA, It will help you move through each stage of motherhood with less pain, better balance, and greater ease.
Our experienced chiropractors use gentle, safe techniques designed specifically for expectant and new mothers. Whether you’re navigating back pain, pelvic pressure, sciatica, or postpartum misalignment, we’re here to support your health naturally and effectively.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care During & After Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, your body undergoes major structural changes. As your baby grows, the shift in weight and hormone levels can place extra stress on your spine, pelvis, joints, and muscles. Chiropractic care helps you adapt to these changes and supports:
- Reduced back, hip, and pelvic pain
- Improved pelvic alignment and balance, resulting in easier labor and delivery
- Reduced sciatica and nerve pain
- Better sleep and mobility
- Faster postpartum recovery
Postnatal chiropractic care addresses issues such as misaligned pelvis, nursing posture strain, lingering back pain, and structural imbalances caused by childbirth.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care: What to Expect
We use the Gonstead Technique coupled with the Webster Technique, which is a gentle, noninvasive method focused on balancing the pelvis, relieving pressure on the uterus, and encouraging optimal fetal positioning. This technique is safe and effective throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic:
- Eases discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis
- Supports proper baby positioning
- Helps maintain a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy
- May reduce the need for interventions during labor
Our chiropractors tailor your sessions based on trimester, comfort, and any specific symptoms you’re experiencing.
Postnatal Chiropractic Care: Supporting Recovery
The postpartum period brings its own physical challenges—especially as your body works to realign and heal. From carrying your baby to sleepless nights and nursing postures, your spine and joints can remain under stress.
- Pelvic and spinal realignment
- Muscle and joint pain relief
- Improved posture for baby feeding and care
- Enhanced core strength and mobility
