I started going to a chiropractor about halfway through my last pregnancy in 2012 for awful sciatic pain....and I've been going religiously ever since. When I'm pregnant, I tend to go every other week. When I'm not, I only go once a month. I bring my two kids, as well. (Age 13 and age 2). My 2 yr old has gone since birth and is very rarely sick, and I honestly feel the chiro has a lot to do with that. He's only had one slight ear infection and a runny nose here and there. As for the money aspect, I'm sure it all depends on your insurance, but all I have to pay is my $20 copay for each visit. I'm in Ma too, but I'm about 20 mins north of Boston, so I'm guessing my doctor would be too far for you. I will say, I've always been curious about chiropractic care and was hesitant, but I spoke with a friend from high school (who is a chiro) and she helped ease my mind a bit. It's important to find a gentle chiro that has experience working with pregnant women.

I saw both a PT and chiro when I was pregnant for pain management. Both were recommendations of my OB, because both specialized in prenatal care. I didn't need a referral for my health insurance and just paid my co-pay. I think insurance covered around 20 visits per year of each PT and chiro.

I had horrible SPD and wore a support belt. It made a huge difference as long as I was wearing it.

Just to let you know, there is light at the end of the tunnel! There were days I could barely walk, and I had immediate relief after delivery.

I went to a chiro and it helped, but the pain was still there and didn't go away completely (at 29w). Started PT at 32w and in just one session I'm so much better! I can run again, which is pretty crazy because I could barely walk. Highly recommend PT - I'm seeing a pelvic rehab specialist. If you can find one, I recommend going that route. The results for me are way better than the months of PT I had for this several years ago.
