Hormonal and structural changes during pregnancy can affect posture, pelvic alignment, and overall comfort, often contributing to lower back pain and other common pregnancy-related discomforts. Chiropractic care for expectant mothers is designed to support healthy movement, nervous system function, and overall wellness throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
Sound Corrections Chiropractic is certified in the Webster Technique, which is specifically designed to address sacral dysfunctions while supporting pelvic alignment and healthy nervous system function. By promoting balanced movement and function, this gentle approach helps create an environment that supports both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.

Postnatal Care
Why Infants Need Chiropractic Care
"Why Does My Baby Need a Chiropractor?"
A pediatric chiropractor may not be something you have considered. Most people try their best to ponder why it may be important for children to be assessed by a pediatric chiropractor, however, they struggle typically due to two different reasons. Either they think that somehow the chiropractor will turn the child into a pretzel and then crack the entire spine or that children don’t feel back pain and that’s what chiropractors are all about… right? Not so much.
Chiropractors are trained in the nervous system and know how biomechanics can alter nerve function. The general premise of chiropractic care is optimizing nerve function as the nervous system controls every function of the body. Trained pediatric chiropractors know how to gently adjust children without twisting or popping. Typically the child is lying on their back or on their mother’s stomach with no twisting involved. The amount of pressure used to adjust an infant is the amount of pressure you would use to tell if a tomato is ripe or not.
Birth Trauma
Being born is tough! There is a reason it’s called the “Miracle of life”. The birthing process is both beautiful and difficult. There are various ways that children can be born and each has their pros and cons; however, each version can be traumatic. With each birth, there is always a possibility that the baby suffers some sort of strain due to various reasons.
A recent study by Viola Frymann showed that 90% of newborns suffered the effects of birth trauma. This was associated with strain through the neck and cranial areas after birth. This makes sense as it’s the most vulnerable area of the body.
- Only 10% of the newborns had no signs of neck/cranial trauma
- 10% had severe trauma to the head, evident even to untrained observers
- The remaining 80% were in between showing signs of strain
When these issues are left uncorrected, the child’s nervous system will have dysfunction which will impact the child’s spinal growth, and cognitive development and hinder the immune system. This can cause health issues down the road that can be unseen for years.
What Can Cause Birth Trauma
- Very short/long labor
- Failure of the cervix to dilate
- Usage of Pitocin
- Use of forceps or vacuum extraction
- Cord around the baby's neck
- Cesarean delivery (due to lack of progress)
- Pulling or twisting of the head
