Pregnancy care at The $35 Chiropractor means using gentle chiropractic adjustments, prenatal massage, acupuncture and supportive therapies to help expectant people manage common discomforts and maintain mobility during pregnancy.
What pregnancy care is and what we do
Pregnancy care combines noninvasive hands on therapies and movement guidance that respect the changing body during pregnancy. We focus on safe, low force chiropractic adjustments, massage techniques adapted for pregnancy, and acupuncture when appropriate. These approaches aim to reduce joint and muscle tension, support pelvic comfort and help you move more easily as your body changes.
We explain options clearly, coordinate with your primary care provider when needed, and adjust techniques as pregnancy progresses. Our goal is to provide supportive, conservative care that complements prenatal medical care.
Why pregnancy care matters locally
Pregnant people in Queen Creek and San Tan Valley often juggle work, family responsibilities and travel across the East Valley. A local clinic that understands how to adapt care for pregnancy reduces travel time and keeps treatment practical for daily life.
We see pregnancy related back and pelvic discomfort linked to changes in posture, ligament laxity and activity patterns. Addressing those issues with safe manual therapies and home guidance helps people remain active and comfortable during pregnancy.
Key concepts in pregnancy care
- Pelvic stability and sacroiliac joint function. The pelvis changes during pregnancy. Gentle balancing techniques can relieve uneven load on joints.
- Low force spinal adjustments. We adapt chiropractic techniques to be comfortable and safe during pregnancy.
- Prenatal massage approaches. Positioning and pregnancy pillows support circulation and reduce muscle tension without pressure on the abdomen.
- Acupuncture for symptom relief. When appropriate, acupuncture can be part of a multimodal plan to ease nausea, headaches or localized pain.
- Movement and self care. Simple, evidence based stretches and exercises help maintain mobility and prepare the body for labor and postpartum recovery.
How we structure a pregnancy visit
- Intake and safety check. We review your pregnancy history, prenatal care status and any restrictions from your obstetric team.
- Gentle assessment. We observe posture, pelvic alignment and movement patterns to target the most relevant areas.
- Adapted treatment. We choose low force adjustments, pregnancy massage or acupuncture based on your needs and trimester.
- Home guidance. You leave with simple stretches, positions and self care recommendations to use between visits.
We do not replace prenatal medical care. We work with your prenatal providers and adapt treatment to recommendations from your obstetric team.
What to expect during pregnancy care
Expect a calm clinic environment and practical positioning so you are comfortable on the table. Treatments are shorter and more focused on comfort and function than on forceful techniques. We tailor timing and technique to the stage of pregnancy, and we explain each step before we begin.
Pro tip: Bringing a note from your prenatal provider that lists any activity restrictions speeds intake and helps us coordinate care.
