Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Boulder: Safe & Effective Ways to Ease Pregnancy Back Pain

Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Boulder: Safe & Effective Ways to Ease Pregnancy Back Pain

Pregnancy and Back Pain: Why It Happens

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can also come with physical challenges — especially back, hip, and pelvic pain.
As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, ligaments loosen under the influence of relaxin, and your posture naturally changes. This combination can lead to:

• Lower back or SI joint pain
• Sciatic nerve irritation or leg pain
• Rib or mid-back tension from posture changes
• Neck and shoulder strain from sleeping position adjustments

These changes are normal — but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through them.

How Chiropractic Care Supports a Healthy Pregnancy

At Boulder Sports Clinic, our chiropractors specialize in prenatal and family chiropractic care, helping expectant moms stay aligned, balanced, and comfortable through every trimester.

Prenatal chiropractic adjustments are gentle, safe, and customized for each stage of pregnancy.
We use pregnancy-specific tables and pillows to support your belly, and all techniques are adapted to protect you and your baby.

Our goals include:

• Reducing pressure on the low back, hips, and pelvis
• Improving pelvic balance to support ideal baby positioning
• Decreasing nerve tension and improving comfort while sleeping
• Supporting better posture and easier movement as your body changes

Many of our patients also notice improved energy, better sleep, and fewer headaches after regular prenatal adjustments.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes — when performed by a chiropractor trained in prenatal care, it is considered safe and effective throughout pregnancy.
We often work alongside your OB-GYN, midwife, or doula to ensure a coordinated approach to your health.

The American Pregnancy Association recognizes prenatal chiropractic care as a helpful way to maintain pelvic balance, support optimal fetal positioning, and ease common pregnancy discomforts.

At Boulder Sports Clinic, we use gentle, evidence-based techniques such as:

• Webster-Certified adjustments to support pelvic alignment
• Soft-tissue therapy and stretching for tight muscles
• Kinesiology taping for belly or low back support
• Prenatal massage therapy to release tension safely

Other Services That Support Expectant Moms

Our integrated clinic model means you can also benefit from:

• Prenatal Massage Therapy – reduce muscle tension and swelling safely.
• Laser Therapy (when appropriate, post-partum) – accelerate tissue healing.
• Physical Therapy – prepare your body for labor and post-partum recovery with core and pelvic stability exercises.

This multi-service approach ensures that each mom receives the right combination of care — all under one roof.

When to Start Prenatal Chiropractic Care

You can begin chiropractic care at any stage of pregnancy, but many women start in the second trimester when back and hip pain often begins to increase.
Some continue care post-partum to help their bodies recover after delivery and adjust to new physical demands like nursing and carrying their newborn.
