Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

Pregnancy is a time of significant change for a woman’s body, and chiropractic care can provide much-needed support during this period. At Illumin8 Chiropractic, we offer specialized prenatal chiropractic care to help expectant mothers maintain their health and comfort. Here’s what you need to know about chiropractic care during pregnancy:

1. Safe and Gentle Adjustments: Our chiropractors use techniques that are safe and gentle for both the mother and baby. These adjustments are designed to accommodate the changes in a pregnant woman’s body.
