If you are experiencing prenatal symptoms like back pain, hip pain, or joint pain, you want to find pain relief that is safe for you and your unborn child. Our chiropractors can provide safe, effective prenatal and postnatal care that reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation and improves circulation, mobility, and range of motion. Prenatal chiropractic care in Duluth can treat back pain and other types of pain while helping you stay healthy and mobile during your pregnancy.

Chiropractic Adjustments 

During a chiropractic adjustment, one of our chiropractors uses their hands or a small instrument to manually manipulate your spine. The goal is to push it back into alignment to eliminate prenatal symptoms like back pain, hip pain, joint pain, headaches, foot pain, inflammation, circulatory issues, and stiffness. Regular chiropractic adjustments can both treat and prevent back pain and counter the effects of weight gain and changes in weight distribution. 

Massage Therapy & Cold Laser Therapy

Massage therapy and cold laser therapy are both safe, effective, and non-invasive methods of prenatal back pain treatment. These prenatal care treatments keep muscles and ligaments limber, loose, and flexible to reduce back pain and provide joint support. 

Diet & Nutrition Counseling

Part of your chiropractic prenatal care includes information on the proper diet and nutrition to follow to keep you and your unborn child healthy. Proper diet and nutrition support healthy muscle growth so that you have better foundational support for the spine and can reduce your risk of back pain and other prenatal symptoms.

Stretches, Exercises, and Orthopedic Support 

Our chiropractors can recommend exercises and stretches that are safe to do while pregnant that can ease muscle pain and stiffness and improve mobility and range of motion. Our chiropractors may also recommend special orthopedic supports for back pain and other prenatal symptoms. This might include orthotics for the feet or orthopedic belts that support the added weight of the belly to reduce back pain.
