Pregnancy and childhood are two of the most dynamic stages of life. As the body grows, adapts and changes, it needs the right kind of support to function at its best. That’s where chiropractic care shines. It is not just for back pain, but it can most certainly be a vital tool for wellness throughout all stages of development.
At Solutions Chiropractic Plus, we specialize in gentle, family-focused care that supports pregnant women and children from infancy through adolescence. Whether you’re preparing for birth or supporting your child’s development, chiropractic care can make a powerful difference.
Why Chiropractic During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a time of rapid change. As the baby grows, the mother’s center of gravity shifts, ligaments soften and postural demands increase — all of which can contribute to pain, misalignment and tension.
Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can:
- Improve pelvic alignment, which may help optimize fetal positioning and ease labor and delivery
- Reduce common discomforts, such as lower back pain, sciatica and pelvic pressure
- Support nervous system balance, helping moms manage stress and sleep better
- Encourage better mobility and comfort throughout each trimester
A retrospective review, written by J.M. Fallon, indicates pregnant women who received chiropractic care experienced significantly shorter labor: first-time mothers saw about 25% shorter labor and mothers who had given birth before saw around 31% shorter labor times (1).
Chiropractic for Children: Gentle Care That Grows With Them
Birth is one of the most physically intense experiences a baby will ever go through and it can sometimes cause subtle misalignments in the spine or nervous system. As children grow, regular falls, sports injuries and even poor posture (especially with increased screen time) can contribute to spinal imbalances.
Pediatric chiropractic care offers:
- Improved sleep and digestion, especially in newborns
- Relief from common issues like colic, ear infections or reflux
- Enhanced immune function, as proper alignment supports nervous system communication
- Better posture, balance and coordination in active kids and teens
- Support for developmental milestones, helping children grow into their healthiest selves
Adjustments for children are extremely gentle and modified based on age and size.
Most youth enjoy their visits and leave feeling more relaxed and happy.
