Perinatal Chiropractic

Pregnancy brings a range of physical, hormonal, and emotional changes that directly affect a mother’s wellbeing. Biomechanically, the growing abdomen, postural adaptations, and increased ligament laxity can lead to misalignments, tension, or blockages in the spine and pelvis. While these changes are natural, they often result in discomfort such as lower back pain, pelvic pressure, sciatica, upper back tension, or limited mobility.

Gisella is certified in the Webster technique, a specialized chiropractic approach for pregnancy. This technique focuses on restoring neuro-biomechanical balance in the pelvis, optimizing the function of the sacroiliac joints and surrounding tissues. As a result, it can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support a more balanced pelvic environment, which may contribute to providing the baby with optimal space for movement and positioning.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is gentle, safe, and tailored to each stage of gestation. Its primary goal is to enhance maternal wellbeing, support the body’s natural adaptations, and help create a more comfortable and functional pregnancy experience.

The postpartum period is a time of significant physical and emotional change, as the body begins to recover from pregnancy and childbirth. During this phase, it is common to experience pelvic instability, lower back pain, upper back and neck tension from breastfeeding, and muscular imbalances associated with new routines and movement patterns. Postpartum chiropractic care helps restore structural balance, improve pelvic and spinal function, and support efficient recovery. Using gentle, targeted techniques, care aims to reduce discomfort, improve posture, and support rehabilitation of the pelvic floor and deep core muscles, helping mothers feel stronger, aligned, and better able to navigate this new stage of life.
