Creating & Supporting a Healthier, More Comfortable Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings incredible changes — but with them often come aches, pains, and questions about what’s “normal'“. From low back pain to pelvic pressure or even wrist discomfort (that dreaded “pregnancy carpal tunnel”, your musculoskeletal system (muscles, joints, ligaments, and fascia) is working overtime to adapt to your growing baby and changing body.

This is where care during pregnancy — through physical therapy, chiropractic care, and intentional movement — can make all the difference.

Why Your Musculoskeletal System Matters During Pregnancy

As your belly grows, your posture, center of gravity, and joint mobility all shift. These changes can:

  • Increase strain on the low back and pelvis

  • Create imbalances that make movement less efficient

  • Contribute to pain, sciatica, or even incontinence

When these issues are addressed early, they’re much easier to manage — and can improve your comfort all the way to delivery day. This will also reduce the likelihood they linger in postpartum when you have much more important things to worry about!

How Musculoskeletal Care Helps

  • Improved pelvic mobility to support optimal fetal positioning

  • Better core and pelvic floor control

  • Faster recovery postpartum
