About prenatal care
During pregnancy, hormonal changes loosen the ligaments that support your pelvis and sacroiliac joints, while the growing baby steadily shifts your center of gravity forward. This combination places new, uneven loads on the lumbar spine, hips, and pelvis — often showing up as low back ache, hip tightness, pelvic girdle discomfort, or sciatic nerve irritation that runs into the buttock or leg. These are among the most common physical complaints of pregnancy, and they tend to worsen with each passing week if left unaddressed.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on restoring gentle, balanced motion to the spinal and pelvic joints so your body can adapt more comfortably to the changes ahead. All techniques used during pregnancy are adapted for comfort, and adjustments are low-force and positioned to avoid pressure on the abdomen.

What is prenatal chiropractic care?
Prenatal chiropractic is gentle, pregnancy-adapted care for the spine, pelvis, and sacroiliac joints. As your baby grows and your posture shifts, the joints and muscles that support you take on new and often uneven loads — leading to the back, hip, and pelvic discomfort that affects so many expectant moms. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy use modified, low-force techniques to restore balanced joint motion and ease that built-up tension, drug-free and without putting any stress on the abdomen.
The Webster Technique is one of the most widely used prenatal chiropractic protocols. It addresses the sacrum and pelvic joints specifically — restoring alignment and releasing tension in the surrounding ligaments to reduce the pelvic discomfort that often comes with late pregnancy.
All care is performed with specialized positioning support so you can lie comfortably at any stage of pregnancy. We never use high-velocity forces over the abdomen, and every technique is chosen with your safety and comfort in mind.
What to expect
Your first visit begins with a thorough conversation — your trimester, your current complaints, your birth provider’s name, and any relevant history. Dr. Oliverius performs a gentle orthopedic and pelvic assessment to identify where tension and restriction are building. From there you’ll get a plain-English explanation of what was found and a specific, trimester-aware care plan.
During each visit you’ll be positioned for comfort and your adjustments will be light and precise. Tell us at any point if a position is uncomfortable and we’ll adjust it.
We’re happy to send a visit summary or care notes to your OB, midwife, or doula so your whole care team stays informed. Coordination, not isolation, is how we prefer to work.
Who it helps
Prenatal chiropractic is a good fit for expecting moms experiencing:
- Low back pain or stiffness that worsens as the belly grows
- Hip pain or sacroiliac joint soreness on one or both sides
- Pelvic girdle discomfort — pain across the front of the pelvis or around the sit bones
- Sciatica — shooting, aching, or burning pain from the low back into the buttock or leg
- Postural tension and mid-back tightness from the forward shift in center of gravity
- General spinal tightness and stiffness that limits comfortable movement throughout the day
If you’ve been told by your provider that you have diastasis recti, placenta previa, or another condition requiring restricted activity, please bring that information to your first visit so we can confirm chiropractic is appropriate for your specific situation.

Conditions we treat with prenatal care
What is prenatal chiropractic care?
Prenatal chiropractic uses gentle, pregnancy-adapted adjustments to restore balanced motion to the spine, pelvis, and sacroiliac joints. The goal is to ease the musculoskeletal discomfort that commonly comes with the physical changes of pregnancy — back pain, hip tightness, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica — using techniques specifically modified for expectant moms.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Prenatal chiropractic uses low-force techniques adapted for pregnancy, and high-velocity force over the abdomen is not used. We review your pregnancy history and confirm chiropractic is appropriate for you before beginning care, and we recommend you also discuss it with your OB or midwife.
Will you coordinate with my OB or midwife?
Absolutely. We believe collaborative care is best during pregnancy. We're happy to communicate with your OB, midwife, or any other member of your care team so everyone is informed and aligned on your plan.
Does it hurt?
Prenatal adjustments are gentle by design. We use light, controlled force, and we check in with you throughout every visit so you can tell us immediately if anything is uncomfortable.
How many visits will I need?
It varies by trimester, your specific discomfort, and how your body responds. After your first visit, Dr. Oliverius gives you a clear, time-bound plan rather than open-ended care, and he explains the recommended visit frequency before you commit to anything.
When in my pregnancy can I start care?
Chiropractic care can be appropriate in any trimester, including the first. We assess your individual situation at your first visit and tailor everything to your current stage.
Will insurance cover prenatal chiropractic?
Coverage varies by plan. Call us at (913) 359-3024 and we'll tell you how billing works at our office before you book. [NEEDS CLIENT CONFIRMATION — does Restore24 bill insurance, verify benefits in advance, or operate cash-pay only?]
Can chiropractic help with sciatica during pregnancy?
Often, yes. Sciatic nerve irritation is common in pregnancy as the pelvis widens and the baby's position shifts loads onto the lower back and buttock. Gentle pelvic and lumbar adjustments can reduce the joint and tissue tension contributing to that pain. We're transparent about what to expect and refer out if needed.
Do you see patients after birth, too?
Yes. Postpartum care — including pelvic realignment and assessment after delivery — is a natural extension of prenatal chiropractic. We also offer pediatric chiropractic for your newborn if you'd like a gentle wellness check after birth.
