Pregnancy Pain Relief in North Raleigh
Pregnancy is powerful, exciting, and demanding. Your body changes quickly—your posture shifts, your center of gravity moves, hormones affect connective tissues, and your pelvis adapts for growth and delivery. For many moms-to-be, those changes come with discomfort that can be hard to ignore.
Pregnancy pain can show up in the low back, hips, pelvis, tailbone, and even the mid-back or ribs. Some women feel soreness after walking. Others feel sharp pain with rolling in bed, standing up, or climbing stairs. If you’re dealing with any of that, you’re not alone—and you’re not “just supposed to suffer through it.”
At Gray Family Chiropractic, we offer supportive chiropractic care for pregnancy with a focus on comfort, pelvic balance, and helping your body adapt more smoothly through each trimester.
Why Pregnancy Pain Happens
Pregnancy pain is often linked to the way your body is adapting. Common contributors include:
- A shifting pelvis and changing posture
- Increased stress on the low back and hips
- Ligament laxity from hormonal changes
- Muscle tension from compensation patterns
- Pelvic imbalance that affects comfort and movement
When the pelvis is not balanced, the supporting muscles and ligaments may become strained. That can contribute to discomfort and may also influence how you move and rest.
How Pregnancy Chiropractic Care Works
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is gentle, specific, and adapted for your stage of pregnancy. The goal is to support spinal and pelvic function so your body can handle the physical changes of pregnancy with less strain.
At Gray Family Chiropractic, care is based on a detailed assessment and a tailored approach. We use the Gonstead Method of Chiropractic and may incorporate pregnancy-specific techniques, including the Webster Technique, which focuses on reducing pelvic stress and supporting balance.
The Webster Technique And Pelvic Balance
Many moms don’t realize how much pelvic balance can influence comfort during pregnancy. The Webster Technique is designed to address tension and imbalance in the pelvis and surrounding structures. By reducing stress in these areas, the uterus and supporting ligaments may relax, which can help create a more balanced environment for baby to move naturally.
This approach is commonly included as part of supportive pregnancy chiropractic care, especially when a mom is experiencing pelvic discomfort, low back pain, or a sense of tightness or pulling through the hips.
What To Expect At Your Visits
Pregnancy care should feel safe, calm, and respectful. At Gray Family Chiropractic, you can expect:
- A conversation about your pregnancy stage, symptoms, and comfort goals
- A gentle evaluation of posture, spinal function, and pelvic balance
- Adjustments designed for pregnancy, using appropriate tables and positioning
- Ongoing guidance based on how your body is responding week to week
Many patients tell us they notice they move more comfortably, sleep more easily, and feel better supported through daily activities. We also work with the reality that pregnancy changes quickly, so your care plan may shift as your body and baby grow.
How Often Should You Be Seen During Pregnancy?
There isn’t one perfect schedule for everyone. Some moms benefit from periodic checkups throughout pregnancy, while others prefer more consistent visits during times of increased discomfort or rapid change. We’ll talk through what makes sense for you and explain the “why” behind any recommendations.
Supporting Your Pregnancy And Your Birth Experience
Our role at Gray Family Chiropractic is to support your function, comfort, and confidence during pregnancy. When your spine and pelvis are working well, your body often handles the physical demands of pregnancy more smoothly. Many moms also appreciate having a drug-free option as part of their prenatal support team.
