Pregnancy brings joy—but also plenty of physical changes that can leave you feeling uncomfortable, sore, or even in pain. If you’re dealing with back aches, pelvic pressure, or sciatica, you might be wondering:
“Can you get chiropractic adjustments while pregnant?”
The short answer is yes—absolutely. At Serene Healing Chiropractic in Deer Park, IL, Dr. Serene Salerno provides safe, gentle, and pregnancy-specific chiropractic care designed to support both mom and baby through every trimester.
Is Prenatal Chiropractic Care Safe?
One of the most common concerns from expecting mothers is whether chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. The reassuring news? Prenatal chiropractic is not only safe—it’s often recommended.
Dr. Salerno is trained in techniques specifically for pregnant women, avoiding unnecessary pressure on the abdomen and using gentle, non-invasive methods. She may also utilize special tables or pregnancy pillows to ensure maximum comfort and safety during every session.
The American Pregnancy Association recognizes chiropractic care as a natural, drug-free way to help manage common pregnancy symptoms and support a smoother birth process.
Why Consider Chiropractic Adjustments During Pregnancy?
As your body prepares for delivery, your posture, balance, and spinal alignment change rapidly. These changes can lead to:
-
Lower back pain
-
Pelvic misalignment
-
Sciatic nerve discomfort
-
Limited hip mobility
-
Sleep disruption due to discomfort
Chiropractic adjustments aim to keep your spine and pelvis aligned, relieving tension and optimizing your body’s function. This can help you feel more energized, move more freely, and even support a more comfortable labor.

She’ll walk you through your care plan, answer questions, and focus on helping you feel empowered and supported.
Your care may include:
-
Gentle chiropractic adjustments
-
Soft tissue therapy
-
Stretching or movement recommendations
-
Postural support as your pregnancy progresses
The goal is simple: support your comfort and well-being—naturally.
