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 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 tailor care accordingly. We tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of mom and baby.
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. We are committed to enhancing your pregnancy journey so you can enjoy this beautiful chapter.
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 methods that address biomechanics. Many women still tolerate manual adjustments and prefer these for certain regions of the body. We also use pregnancy-considerate pelvic balancing and gentle mobilization with the goal of easing muscular and joint tension.
Benefits include: easing common discomforts and eliminating the physical challenges of pregnancy, preparing for childbirth and supporting you through the transformative journey, and enhancing overall well-being.
*Note: According to “Back pain during pregnancy and labour” by Diakow, et al in Journal of Manipulative Physiology, pregnant women receiving chiropractic care reported relief from back pain during their pregnancy in 84% of cases.*
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.
We have seen many women from conception through delivery with the goal always being a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Our doctors are dedicated to helping women through the transformative journey, every step of the way. Every pregnancy and experience with care is unique, and we do not claim to influence labour or delivery timing.
