Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on a woman's body. As the baby grows, the center of gravity shifts forward, the lumbar curve increases, and hormonal changes loosen ligaments throughout the pelvis and spine. These changes frequently lead to lower back pain, hip discomfort, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction that can make the final months of pregnancy difficult.
Dr. Johansson is certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women. This technique focuses on reducing sacral subluxation and restoring proper pelvic balance, which may improve comfort during pregnancy and create optimal conditions for the baby's positioning before delivery.
Our prenatal adjustments use modified tables and positioning that accommodate a growing belly at every stage. We also provide guidance on pregnancy-safe stretches, sleeping positions, and exercises that support spinal health throughout all three trimesters.
Many of our prenatal patients report reduced back pain, improved sleep quality, and shorter, more comfortable labor and delivery experiences. We work alongside your OB-GYN or midwife as part of your complete prenatal care team, and we welcome patients at any stage of pregnancy.
