Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic Care in Saanichton
Your body changes quickly during pregnancy. A growing bump shifts your posture, hormones loosen the ligaments around your pelvis, and sleep gets harder. Back and pelvic pain are very common, but you don’t have to just put up with them. Our chiropractors adapt every treatment for pregnancy, using side-lying positions, pregnancy pillows and gentle techniques.
No referral needed. Online booking 24/7, or call the front desk and we will find you a time.

When to call your care provider
Contact your midwife or doctor right away about vaginal bleeding, leaking fluid, regular painful contractions before 37 weeks, severe or constant abdominal pain, a severe headache with vision changes or swelling, or fewer baby movements. These need medical care, not chiropractic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when it’s provided by a registered chiropractor who adapts treatment for pregnancy. We avoid pressure on the abdomen, use side-lying and supported positions, and adjust techniques as your pregnancy progresses.
When can I start treatment?
At any stage of pregnancy. Many people come in during the second and third trimesters, when back and pelvic pain are most common, and again after delivery.
Can I come in after giving birth?
Yes. Postpartum back, neck and wrist pain from feeding and carrying are common. You’re welcome to bring your baby to your appointment.
