Pregnancy Chiropractic in Kansas City
Pregnancy brings plenty of changes, and some can make everyday movement and rest less comfortable than they used to be. As your body adapts, you may notice new aches, tension, or simply find it harder to get comfortable.
At Fountain of Life Family Chiropractic, our Kansas City chiropractors take a gentle, individualized approach during pregnancy. We listen to what you’re experiencing, adapt your visits as your body changes, and use positioning designed with your comfort in mind.
Chiropractic Care That Adapts With You
No two pregnancies feel exactly the same. Some expecting mothers visit us because they’re experiencing discomfort, while others are already patients who want to continue chiropractic care as their pregnancy progresses.
Rather than following the same plan for everyone, our chiropractors consider your symptoms, comfort, and assessment findings when making recommendations. Techniques and positioning can also be modified throughout pregnancy as your needs change.
If chiropractic care isn’t a good fit for a particular concern, we’ll let you know and discuss whether another healthcare provider should be involved.
Making Your Visits More Comfortable
Being able to relax on the adjusting table matters, especially as your belly grows. Our office has several options to help make positioning more comfortable during your visit.
Drop tables have sections that lower during an adjustment and allow us to modify positioning as needed. We also have specially shaped pregnancy pillows for additional support.
Hydro massage beds provide another option for comfortable positioning. Because you lie face up, they can be used without putting pressure on your belly. When face-down positioning is appropriate, we keep that portion of the visit brief and use our tables and pillows to accommodate your changing body.
How Often Should You Visit During Pregnancy?
There isn’t one schedule that applies to every expecting mother. Recommendations depend on why you’re visiting, what we find during your assessment, how you’re responding, and where you are in your pregnancy.
Our goal is to make recommendations that make sense for you rather than asking you to commit to a large treatment plan upfront. We’ll talk through the suggested frequency with you so you know what to expect.
Feel More Comfortable With Your Chiropractic Visits
Whether you’re already a patient or considering chiropractic for the first time during pregnancy, we want you to feel comfortable asking questions.
