Pregnancy Chiropractic in Vernon
Pregnancy is a beautiful season, but back pain, pelvic pressure, and sleepless nights can make it hard to enjoy. At Lakeside Align Chiropractic, prenatal chiropractic care is designed with your comfort in mind, using low-force, supportive techniques appropriate for pregnancy. Dr. Keegan Johnston and Dr. Michelle Poirier take time to understand how you are feeling and explore factors that may be contributing to your discomfort, then tailors care accordingly.
We prioritize comfort at every step with supportive pillows, side-lying positions, and a calm, unhurried pace. When you need to be seen quickly, our Vernon team does its best to accommodate.

How Prenatal Chiropractic May Support Your Body
Prenatal chiropractic care aims to improve joint motion and support the balance of muscles and ligaments that relate to your pelvis and spine. Dr. Keegan and Dr. Michelle blend soft-tissue work with low-force, instrument-assisted methods that use a handheld tool to deliver light adjustments without twisting. We also use pregnancy-considerate pelvic balancing and gentle mobilization with the goal of easing muscular and joint tension.
We also offer postnatal care to help restore proper alignment after birth and support posture while breastfeeding and carrying your little one. These common positions can pull the head forward and shoulders down, so we help counter these effects to keep you comfortable and balanced.
Common Concerns People Bring to Our Clinic
Prenatal chiropractic care is often sought by people who want to manage discomfort and support daily function, with the aim of helping them move, sleep, and breathe with more ease. Individual experiences vary. Common concerns people ask about include:
- Low back discomfort or sciatic-like leg symptoms
- Pelvic or pubic symphysis discomfort
- Rib and mid-back tightness
- Tailbone or coccyx discomfort
- Sensations that may relate to round ligament tension
- Bladder pressure or front-carrying discomfort
If your concern isn’t listed, ask us; we tailor chiropractic care to you and your pregnancy, within appropriate clinical guidelines.
Comfort, Communication, and Collaborative Care
Comfort first also means ongoing consent and clear communication. If something doesn’t feel right, we change the approach on the spot. Kinesio Taping can gently support your bump or help reduce the feeling of pressure when the baby sits forward, and we’ll show you how to care for it. You’ll also get simple at-home exercises intended to support your comfort between visits.
One of our memorable stories involved a patient who noticed changes in how she felt after an adjustment close to her due date. Every pregnancy and experience with care is unique, and we do not claim to influence labour or delivery timing.
