Pregnancy Chiropractic in Prince Frederick
Pregnancy is a remarkable time, yet the changes your body makes may bring real discomfort. Low back pain, hip tightness, and sciatica are common as posture shifts and nerves get irritated. With over three decades of experience, Dr. Daniel Collins helps expectant mothers keep their pelvis and lower back moving correctly to optimize comfort and function.
Research supports this approach—multiple studies show that maintaining proper pelvic alignment throughout pregnancy can reduce discomfort and may even support an easier labor and delivery.
Gentle, Safe Care is the Standard Here
After the first trimester, Dr. Collins won’t ask you to lie face down, and he avoids therapies like electrical muscle stimulation and massage devices during pregnancy. Adjustments are straightforward and gentle, using either hands-on techniques or a low-force adjusting instrument, based on your comfort.
What Prenatal Chiropractic Can Help With
Many moms start care when discomfort begins, but you do not have to wait to feel relief. Common concerns we address include:
- Low back pain from postural changes
- Support for easier labor & delivery through better pelvic alignment
- Pelvic and sacroiliac joint pain
- Sciatic pain from nerve pressure as the baby grows
- Reducing the chance of breech or inversion presentations in some cases
What to Expect and When to Start
Most prenatal patients are seen at least every other week throughout their pregnancy. Many choose to wait a minimum of six weeks to confirm a viable pregnancy, and Dr. Collins fully respects that choice.
If any issues arise, he encourages you to involve your OB-GYN and pediatrician, and he will tailor care to avoid problems and keep you comfortable. Prefer a gentle, no-pop approach? Just ask, and Dr. Collins will use instrument-based adjustments. Considering care for your newborn, too? Explore our pediatric chiropractic services.
