Pregnancy Conditions We Treat
Pregnancy Lower Back Pain
The #1 complaint we hear from Highlands Ranch expecting mothers. Your growing belly shifts your center of gravity, increasing spinal stress. We restore alignment and teach exercises that support your changing body.
SI Joint Dysfunction
Relaxin hormone loosens your sacroiliac joints, causing one-sided pelvic pain that makes walking and HRCA fitness classes difficult. The Webster Technique specifically addresses SI joint instability.
Pregnancy Sciatica
Shooting pain from your back through your leg, often worsened by sitting at your DTC desk job. We provide gentle, pregnancy-safe sciatic relief without medication.
Pubic Symphysis Pain
Pain at the front of your pelvis that makes walking, climbing stairs, and getting in/out of cars painful. Proper pelvic alignment and stabilization exercises help significantly.
Round Ligament Pain
Sharp, stabbing abdominal pain as the ligaments supporting your uterus stretch. Soft tissue techniques and gentle stretches manage this common second-trimester symptom.
Breech Presentation Support
The Webster Technique optimizes pelvic balance, potentially creating the space for a breech baby to turn naturally. Many HR OBs refer patients for Webster care.
Rib and Mid-Back Pain
As your baby grows upward, pressure against your ribs causes pain and breathing difficulty. Thoracic adjustments restore mobility and ease breathing.
Pregnancy Headaches
Hormonal changes and postural stress trigger headaches when medication options are limited. Cervical care and tension relief provide drug-free solutions.

Prenatal Chiropractic for Highlands Ranch's Established Community
HRCA Prenatal Fitness Support
Highlands Ranch Community Association offers prenatal fitness classes at Eastridge, Westridge, Southridge, and Northridge recreation centers. Chiropractic care ensures your body is aligned properly for these classes, maximizing benefit and reducing injury risk. We work with many moms who combine HRCA fitness with our care.
Four Rec Centers, One Goal
With 4 recreation centers throughout Highlands Ranch, prenatal fitness options are unmatched in Douglas County. Whether you prefer swimming, yoga, or walking the track, proper spinal alignment helps you participate comfortably. We help HR moms stay active at whichever center is most convenient.
DTC Working Mom Care
Many Highlands Ranch expecting mothers work at the Denver Tech Center throughout pregnancy. Hours of sitting, commuting, and work stress compound pregnancy discomfort. We provide care that addresses desk worker pregnancy challenges, plus ergonomic guidance for your workstation.
Backcountry Active Pregnancy
Backcountry residents are often the most active in Highlands Ranch, with direct trail access and an outdoor-focused lifestyle. We help Backcountry moms continue hiking, walking, and staying fit during pregnancy with care that supports continued activity safely.
Experienced Mom Community
Highlands Ranch's established community includes many experienced mothers who've been through pregnancy before. Second and third pregnancies often bring more challenges—previous delivery trauma, caring for older children while pregnant, and bodies that remember past pregnancies. We understand these complexities.
Sky Ridge Hospital Coordination
Sky Ridge Medical Center provides excellent maternity services for Highlands Ranch families. We coordinate with Sky Ridge OBs and midwives, providing progress updates when requested and accepting referrals for conditions like breech presentation or persistent back pain that may benefit from Webster Technique care.
Trail System Prenatal Walking
Highlands Ranch's 70+ miles of trails provide perfect prenatal walking routes. Walking is one of the best exercises during pregnancy, but pelvic instability and back pain can make it difficult. We help moms continue enjoying the trail system comfortably throughout pregnancy.
Complete Family Chiropractic
Our care extends from prenatal through postpartum and into pediatric chiropractic. Highlands Ranch families appreciate continuity—the same practice that helped mom through pregnancy can provide gentle care for newborns and growing children. We're a one-stop family chiropractic resource.
The Webster Technique: Evidence-Based Pregnancy Chiropractic
Sacral Analysis
We carefully assess your sacrum position and movement—the foundation of your pelvis. Sacral subluxation affects pelvic balance and is a common cause of pregnancy discomfort and constraint that may affect fetal positioning.
Gentle Sacral Adjustment
Using specialized positioning with pregnancy tables that have belly cutouts, we deliver a precise, gentle adjustment to restore proper sacral alignment. The technique is comfortable and completely safe for you and baby.
Round Ligament Work
The round ligaments support your uterus and often become tense during pregnancy. Gentle soft tissue techniques release this tension, reducing referred pain and potentially giving baby more room to move.
Pelvic Balance
The Webster Technique aims to restore complete pelvic balance. When your pelvis functions properly, pregnancy is more comfortable, baby has optimal space, and delivery may be easier. This is why HR OBs refer to us.
SI Joint Stabilization
Your sacroiliac joints bear tremendous load during pregnancy and are loosened by relaxin hormone. Regular Webster adjustments help maintain proper SI function, reducing the instability and pain many women experience.
Progressive Care
We adjust our approach as your pregnancy progresses. First trimester focuses on establishing good alignment; third trimester emphasizes optimal positioning for delivery. We monitor your body's changes throughout.
Pregnancy Chiropractic FAQs for Highlands Ranch
Is prenatal chiropractic care safe during all trimesters?
Yes, prenatal chiropractic care is safe throughout pregnancy when performed by trained providers. Our chiropractors are Webster Technique certified and use specialized pregnancy tables, gentle techniques, and careful positioning. We've helped expecting mothers in Highlands Ranch from early pregnancy through delivery day.
What is the Webster Technique and why does it matter?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant women that addresses sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction. It optimizes pelvic biomechanics, which can reduce pregnancy discomfort and may help babies achieve optimal positioning for birth. Many Highlands Ranch OBs specifically refer patients to Webster-certified chiropractors.
How does chiropractic help with pregnancy back pain?
Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity forward, increasing lumbar lordosis and straining your spine. This is compounded by relaxin hormone loosening ligaments. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, reduce muscle spasm, and teach your body to adapt to pregnancy changes without pain or medication.
Can prenatal chiropractic help with a breech baby?
The Webster Technique doesn't turn babies directly, but it optimizes pelvic alignment and reduces constraint on the uterus. With proper pelvic space and reduced ligament tension, babies often have the room they need to turn naturally. Many Highlands Ranch OBs recommend Webster care before considering external cephalic version.
How do HRCA prenatal fitness classes and chiropractic work together?
Highlands Ranch Community Association offers excellent prenatal fitness programs at their recreation centers. Chiropractic care complements these classes by ensuring proper spinal alignment and pelvic function. When your body moves correctly, exercise is more effective and less likely to cause strain or injury.
When should I start pregnancy chiropractic care?
You can begin at any stage, though earlier is often better. Many Highlands Ranch women start in the first trimester to manage early symptoms and establish baseline alignment. Starting early means fewer problems as your pregnancy progresses and your body undergoes more significant changes.
Do you coordinate with Highlands Ranch OBs and midwives?
Yes, we work collaboratively with local providers. Whether you're delivering at Sky Ridge Medical Center, Littleton Adventist, or planning a home birth, we communicate with your care team. Many Highlands Ranch OB practices specifically refer patients to us for prenatal chiropractic care.
What about postpartum chiropractic care?
Postpartum care is essential. After 9 months of pregnancy and the physical demands of delivery, your body needs help recovering. Highlands Ranch new moms also face strain from breastfeeding, baby carrying, and the sleep deprivation that comes with a newborn. We help your body heal and adapt to motherhood.
