I went all through my pregnancy, I'm 100% sure it helped my body. Webster technique was used on me and it helped a lot with round ligament pains.

My best friend is a chiro and she wouldn't have recommended I go if it was unsafe in pregnancy. People are just paranoid about chiro in general, even though it's one of the more widely accepted holistic treatments/practices.

I went during my last pregnancy. I can't say for sure that the chiro did do anything except pop my back...but even that was worth it to me. My belly prevented me from turning/twisting/stretching well and I felt so stiff all the time; getting popped felt great.

@cyoung: I went to one for my second pregnancy to help get my pelvis aligned and prep my body for a potential vbac. I said to myself if I had a successful vbac then I’d go back to see them next time and I did so I’m going back! I actually just got off the phone from booking my appointment for next week.

I don’t think it’s unsafe at all. They’re trained for pregnant people and the techniques they use are different for pregnant women. Also, go and see how you feel to gauge your opinion about them. If it makes your body feel better then it’s worth it and it’s working for you. Like a previous poster said I don’t know if it helped, but it didn’t harm. I also did acupuncture in my 39th week and will do so again.

I know a lot of people are wary for some reason, pregnant and non-pregnant alike, but I see no issue with them and have had several pregnant friends visit them and go postpartum too.

The chiropractor was a lifesaver while I was pregnant! I had awful SI joint issues with both of my pregnancies, and my OB actually suggested I see a chiropractor to help when he saw how terribly I was getting around with my first.

Also, no way of knowing if it made a difference or not - but I went the afternoon before I was induced with my second baby for one last alignment at that stage and had such a smooth delivery. It was like night and day from my first (which, of course, could have been just a second baby thing) - but I don't think the last minute chiro visit then hurt.

I did it for #2 and 3. Helped with pelvic pain and my second labor was super fast! I only went for pregnancy but I ob goes there all the time (they specialize in pregnancy and family) so I felt good about it!

I’ve been going every 1-2 weeks during all my pregnancies, it’s helped me so much! I’ve taken my babies a few days after delivery too.
