PREGNANCY CHIROPRACTOR SERVICES IN BOULDER, CO

Pregnancy transforms your body in profound ways. As your baby grows, hormonal changes cause ligament laxity while your shifting center of gravity places increased stress on your spine, pelvis, and joints—often creating discomfort and biomechanical imbalances. At Evol.v Chiropractic, our prenatal chiropractor in Boulder, CO specializes in gentle, safe chiropractic care designed specifically for expectant mothers throughout all three trimesters.

Why Choose a Prenatal Chiropractor During Pregnancy?

A well-aligned pelvis and balanced musculoskeletal system allow your body to adapt more comfortably to pregnancy's physical demands. Chiropractic care during pregnancy helps:

​

• Restore pelvic alignment and sacroiliac (SI) joint stability

• Reduce uterine ligament tension including round ligament pain and broad ligaments

• Optimize intrauterine space for baby's growth and movement

• Alleviate nerve compression causing sciatica and radiating pain

• Support proper fetal positioning in preparation for birth

• Enhance nervous system function affecting digestion, sleep, and stress response

• Prepare the body for labor with better pelvic mobility

 

When your spine, pelvis, and nervous system are balanced, your body functions optimally—benefiting both you and your baby throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.

 

The Webster Technique: Specialized Prenatal Chiropractic Protocol

A cornerstone of our Boulder pregnancy chiropractic care is the Webster Technique—an evidence-informed chiropractic analysis and adjustment that restores pelvic balance and reduces constraint to the uterus and supporting structures.

 

The Webster Technique addresses:

​

• Sacral misalignment affecting pelvic biomechanics

• Round ligament tension restricting uterine movement

• Pelvic floor muscle imbalance impacting birth readiness

• Psoas and piriformis tightness contributing to pelvic asymmetry

 

This gentle approach helps create optimal conditions for your baby to assume the best position for birth. While not designed to "turn" breech babies, the Webster Technique removes biomechanical constraints that may prevent optimal fetal positioning.

​

• Decreased uterine and pelvic floor tension

• Better sleep quality and daytime energy levels

Frequently Asked Questions About Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Boulder

 

Is chiropractic care for pregnancy safe?

Yes. Chiropractic care is safe throughout pregnancy when performed by a chiropractor with prenatal training and Webster certification. Our Boulder prenatal chiropractors use gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques with no pressure on the abdomen.

 

What is the Webster Technique and when should I receive it?

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that restores pelvic balance and reduces uterine constraint. While beneficial throughout pregnancy, it's particularly helpful starting at 28-32 weeks if your baby is breech, transverse, or posterior. Many Boulder OB-GYNs and midwives refer expectant mothers for Webster Technique care.

 

Can prenatal chiropractic care help turn a breech baby?

The Webster Technique doesn't manually turn babies. Instead, it removes biomechanical constraints and pelvic misalignments that may prevent optimal fetal positioning. By balancing the pelvis and relaxing uterine ligaments, babies often have more freedom to move into the vertex (head-down) position naturally.

 

When should I start seeing a prenatal chiropractor?

Ideally, start in your first trimester to establish optimal pelvic alignment early. Most Boulder prenatal chiropractors recommend visits every 2-4 weeks during early pregnancy, increasing to weekly adjustments in the final 4-6 weeks before your due date. However, you can begin care at any stage of pregnancy.

 

Do you coordinate with my Boulder OB-GYN or midwife?

Yes. We believe in collaborative, integrative pregnancy care and are happy to communicate with your obstetrician, midwife, doula, or birth team. Many Boulder birth providers actively refer to our practice for prenatal chiropractic support.
