Safe and Comfortable Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy is a highly physically demanding experience, and the rapid changes can have a significant impact on your body and health. Fortunately, chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only safe, but it can lead to a multitude of health benefits for both mother and baby.

Why Should You See a Chiropractor During Your Pregnancy?

As the baby develops over the course of nine months, the additional body weight often pulls the lower back forward, causing subluxations—misalignments—that lead to pinched nerves. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help reduce the impacts of this, which in turn may reduce common side effects of pregnancy, such as:
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Back and neck pains
  • Morning sickness
In addition to reducing common side effects, maintaining proper pelvic alignment during pregnancy helps prevent intrauterine constraint, which limits the amount of space the baby has to develop. Optimal spinal health encourages the body—and by extension, the baby's body—to function and develop at their best.

The Petrak Family Chiropractic Process

Picture
Dr. Petrak believes in providing exceptional care for each patient so they can be their best self for their child. To provide that level of safety and quality of care, your consultation always begins with a comprehensive review of your health history, a detailed examination, and an on-site X-ray. Each piece of information informs Dr. Petrak's approach to your individual treatment needs.

​During your second visit, Dr. Petrak will review the findings from your examination and walk you through the plan tailored for optimizing your health. Your treatment plan could include massage therapy, physiotherapy or rehabilitation, orthotics, or several other kinds of care. Regardless of which type of treatment is necessary for your situation, you can rest assured knowing your wellness and comfort are priority number one.

We Focus on Long-Term Health

​There's no wrong time to start chiropractic care. Whether you're planning for a child, expecting, or have recently given birth, chiropractic care remains a way to improve your health in a drug-free, non-invasive way.
