Pregnancy Chiropractic in London, Ontario

Pregnancy is exciting, yes, but it can also be hard on your body, affecting sleep, posture, and comfort. Many expecting moms notice low back tension, hip discomfort, sciatica-like symptoms, or rib and mid-back tightness as the body adapts. Dr. Overton and Dr. Fonti provide gentle care for pregnant patients, taking a personalised approach that respects each stage of pregnancy.

How Prenatal Chiropractic Care Works

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal and pelvic movement and how the nervous system coordinates the body. During pregnancy, shifting posture and joint strain can make certain areas feel restricted or overworked. When appropriate, gentle adjustments may help restore healthier motion in the spine and pelvis, reducing strain in the low back, hips, and surrounding muscles.
Your chiropractor may use hands-on techniques, a gentle adjusting tool, or pregnancy-specific positioning to keep you comfortable on the table. The Webster Technique may also be used to address pelvic tension and imbalance. If you have a complex history or specific concerns, we will modify the approach and communicate clearly so you feel informed and comfortable.

What You Can Expect

Your first visit includes a detailed history, a gentle exam, and a clear explanation of findings. If chiropractic care appears suitable, care may begin the same day. We also share simple posture tips and home strategies that can fit into real life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

For many pregnant women, chiropractic care is commonly used and well-tolerated. We review your health history and current pregnancy stage, then adapt techniques and positioning to help keep you comfortable. If anything suggests you need additional medical input, we will refer you to the appropriate specialist.

How often should I come in while I’m pregnant?

Care is personalised. The right visit schedule depends on your comfort, how your body is changing, and your goals. Some expecting mothers choose more frequent visits later in pregnancy, while others prefer occasional check-ins. We will talk through options and adjust the plan as needed.

What techniques do you use for pregnant patients?

Technique choices are based on your exam findings and comfort level. Many patients receive gentle manual adjustments or a hand held adjusting tool when a lighter approach is preferred. When appropriate, your chiropractor may use the Webster Technique to address pelvic tension and balance, with pregnancy-friendly positioning.
