Prenatal Chiropractic Helps to Optimize Pregnancy
Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby
Mother and child can both receive maximum advantage from our cutting-edge prenatal chiropractic care. The healthier a mom is during her pregnancy, the healthier her baby will be. The stronger the mom’s immune system will be, the stronger the baby’s immune system will be at birth.
Babies also will be able to have more space to maneuver around through the development process. When moms get adjusted through pregnancy, doing so also helps the neurological development and growth of their baby and helps the baby to get into the head-down position for delivery.
The Webster Technique
This gentle, safe and specific adjustment method places a strong emphasis on the stabilization of the sacrum and pelvis. When this occurs, a natural shift takes place in the womb, and the infant automatically gains more space to maneuver and develop. This optimal positioning leads to a safer and ideal birth experience for both the mother and her baby.
We recommend that you come in for a noninvasive evaluation as soon as you know you’re expecting. ViVO Chiropractic ® wants to help you to optimize this wonderful time in your life.

Providing Emotional Support
At our friendly office, our pregnant moms find it easy and comfortable to share their challenges and extend their trust. If you’re struggling with a pregnancy issue, we can help.
As a mom herself, Dr. April Little likes to give mothers emotional support. “I will share my positive birth stories and those of other patients.” Dr. April also guides moms to resources that were helpful to her. “It’s also important for moms-to-be to get into the mindset of ‘you can do this. We don’t want pregnant women to think of pregnancy as a giant, painful hurdle to go through but instead a beautiful experience.”
What to Expect
During your first visit we will sit down and discuss a very detailed history. The doctor will look at what your body has been through prior to the pregnancy and ask if you’ve experienced any issues since the pregnancy.
Then, we’ll talk about your goals and what it will take to reach them. Lastly, we will use the INSiGHT™ tool to perform a safe and non-invasive scan. No radiation is involved.
At this second visit, we will give you the results of the scans. We’ll use those results along with the information you provided at the first visit to put together specific recommendations for your game plan. We’ll discuss how we will address current issues and what we need to do long term to help you reach your goals.
When you come in for regular visits, we will likely perform the Webster Technique. You also may have a spinal adjustment, depending on what we see in the scans. This could include a full-spine adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what point in my pregnancy should I start chiropractic care?
Do you modify your techniques for pregnant women?
How often will I need to come in?
How is your approach different?
Providing safe scanning with INSiGHT technology also sets us apart. As we don’t take X-rays on pregnant women, the information from the scans allows us to assess the function of the nervous system. This tool is particularly helpful during pregnancy because the information from the scans helps to let us know what needs to be adjusted.
How safe is an adjustment during pregnancy?
Chiropractic adjustments are very safe during pregnancy. Most of our doctors are certified in the Webster Technique, designed specifically for pregnant women to help them have the most comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
How often do I need to come in?
It all depends on what you’re experiencing (e.g. aches and pains). Active conditions typically require multiple visits per week. We use the Webster Technique for preventative prenatal care once per week.
Yes. We look forward to working with all members of your birth team!
Do I need a referral from my physician?
In virtually every case, a referral is unnecessary.
