Our prenatal chiropractic care is designed to support your body through every stage of pregnancy—naturally, safely, and effectively.
At Your Family Chiropractic, we specialize in individualized chiropractic care for expecting mothers. Our goal is to help you experience a more comfortable pregnancy, prepare your body for birth, and support a smoother postpartum recovery.
Every pregnancy is different, which is why our care is individualized to meet your body’s specific needs.

Alleviate round ligament pain and pubic symphysis dysfunction

Prenatal Stories From YFC Moms
-
Megan T.
I tried out YFC and have never looked back! I was looking for a prenatal and postpartum chiropractor when I was pregnant with our first child. I wanted our homebirth to go as smoothly as possible, and I knew chiropractic care would help that! From my first visit 4 months before I was due with our first child, I have felt nothing but cared and advocated for since walking through the doors of YFC. I fully believe that it was the prenatal adjustments that helped my first homebirth go as successful as it could, and it was the postpartum adjustments that helped my body heal that much faster afterwards.

Kelsey C.
I was experiencing significant back pain during my recent pregnancy. After only a couple of visits I was pain free. Dr. Connor really took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored my appointments to fit my individual needs. Both Dr. Connor and Dr. Jaime care about their patients as a whole and provide exceptional care. The office has a calm and welcoming environment and is extremely family friendly.

Taylor T.
Dr. Jaime was a life saver throughout my second and third trimesters of my pregnancy, and now my son is under her care. I was having a lot of round ligament and lower back pain and every week after an adjustment with her I would instantly feel relief. I could not be more thankful for her flexibility with scheduling, her wealth of knowledge, her recommendations, and her caring, warm, welcoming personality! Her experience with caring for pregnant women was a huge part of my healthy and successful home birth.
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PREGNANCY
At Your Family Chiropractic, we view pregnancy as an opportunity to connect deeply with your body’s innate wisdom. Chiropractic care during pregnancy not only relieves discomfort—it supports your body’s ability to function at its best so you can enjoy this season with more calm, balance, and confidence.
We’re honored to support women throughout preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, creating a holistic foundation for long-term health and wellness for you and your growing family.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST PRENATAL APPOINTMENT:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your prenatal history, current concerns, and pregnancy + birth goals. We'll perform our INSiGHT nervous system scans to understand how your body is responding to stress and how your nervous system is adapting during your pregnancy.
After your first Webster Technique adjustment, Dr. Jaime or Dr. Connor will explain their findings from the exam, adjustment, and your nervous system scans to create a personalized care plan to have you feeling your best heading into birth and postpartum.
THE PATH TO AN EASIER LABOR AND DELIVERY:
Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care may help reduce labor time, support more comfortable births, and decrease the need for birth interventions. When your pelvis is balanced and your nervous system is functioning optimally, your body can do what it's designed to do. We're not promising miracles, but we've seen countless Kansas City area moms report easier labors, fewer interventions, and faster recoveries after being under our care during their pregnancy.
We never replace the expertise of your birth provider, but more complement your prenatal care team with a holistic approach focused on spinal balance and nervous system function.
FAQ:
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Yes! Chiropractic care is safe throughout all stages of pregnancy. Our doctors are Webster Certified with specialized training and use pregnancy-specific techniques and tables designed for your comfort.
Will adjustments hurt my baby?
Absolutely not. The adjustments are gentle, safe, and effective for balancing the pelvis and releasing tension surrounding these structures, allowing expecting moms to feel more relief and calmness during their pregnancy.
When can I start prenatal chiropractic care?
The best time to start is long before you're in pain and ideally in your first trimester or even during preconception, so we can get ahead of any imbalance and nervous system dysregulation that might come. However, it's never too late to begin. We've helped moms find relief at 36 weeks pregnant and beyond.
Whether you're in your first trimester dealing with hormone-related headaches, navigating the rapid growth of the second trimester, or preparing your body for birth in the third trimester, specific chiropractic care with the Webster Technique supports your body's innate intelligence to heal and adapt.
