Safe and Supportive Care for Moms-to-Be
Pregnancy is a special and exciting time, but it can also bring challenges. As your body changes to support your growing baby, you may experience back pain, hip discomfort, or other aches that make daily life harder. At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh Alvarado provides gentle, safe chiropractic care designed specifically for expecting mothers.
Why Choose a Prenatal Chiropractor?
A Prenatal Chiropractor focuses on the unique needs of women during pregnancy. Dr. Alvarado uses techniques that are safe for both mom and baby, with no twisting or pressure on the abdomen. Special tables and adjusting methods allow for comfort while addressing spinal and pelvic alignment.
When the spine and pelvis are balanced, it not only helps reduce pain but also supports an easier pregnancy and potentially smoother delivery.
Benefits of Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Expecting mothers often find relief from:
​
-
Low back pain
-
Hip pain and sciatica
-
Pelvic discomfort
-
Posture changes due to a growing belly

Chiropractic care may also help improve pelvic balance, which gives the baby more room to move and can encourage an optimal birthing position.
