Pregnancy Chiropractor in Mission Calgary
Prenatal chiropractic care for the back, pelvis and hips, so you can keep moving well while your body adapts to pregnancy.
What Prenatal Chiropractic Care Is and Who It's For
Pregnancy asks a lot of your body in a short time. Your centre of gravity moves forward, the curve in your low back changes, and hormones loosen the ligaments around your pelvis so it can make room. Most of the time your body adapts well. When the load outpaces that adaptation, it usually shows up as discomfort in the low back, pelvis or hips. That discomfort is a message, not a malfunction.
Prenatal chiropractic care at Philo is gentle, hands-on care built for this stage. It suits anyone who is pregnant and feeling back, pelvic or hip discomfort, or who wants support to keep moving well as their body changes. Care is adapted to each trimester, and you're never asked to lie on your belly.
Your body is doing the work. Our role is to create the conditions that make that work feel more manageable.

When to Come in During Pregnancy
You can start at any point in pregnancy. Some people come in during the first trimester, when their back first sends the message. Others come in later, when the load is at its peak.
Let your midwife or physician know you're seeing a chiropractor, and Dr. Courtney is glad to work alongside them. If anything feels sudden, severe or unusual, such as bleeding, leaking fluid, strong cramping or pain that doesn't change with position, contact your midwife, doctor or labour and delivery unit first.
