Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Rochester, MN
Your Body Is Changing Fast. We Can Help It Keep Up.
Pregnancy is one of the most physically demanding things the body ever goes through. The center of gravity shifts. The pelvis expands. The ligaments loosen. The lower back curves more deeply to accommodate a growing belly. All of that happens fast, and for many expecting moms it comes with real discomfort that only gets harder to manage as the pregnancy progresses.
Low back pain, pelvic pressure, round ligament pain, sciatica, hip tightness, rib pain. These are not just things to push through. They are signs that the body’s structure needs support to keep up with the changes happening inside it.
Why Pregnant Patients Come to RAK Chiropractic
Dr. Ryley and Dr. Katie are both Webster Technique certified and hold CACCP credentials through the Academy of Chiropractic Family Practice and the Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics. They see expecting moms regularly throughout all three trimesters and are among the most specifically trained prenatal chiropractors in the Rochester area.
Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant patients focused on the sacrum and pelvis. It addresses sacral misalignment and the tension in surrounding ligaments and muscles that can restrict pelvic balance and contribute to discomfort throughout pregnancy.
Adjustments are fully adapted for each trimester using gentle, modified techniques and specialized positioning to ensure comfort throughout.

After Baby Arrives
The postpartum period brings its own physical demands. Carrying, nursing, and the repetitive postures of caring for a newborn create their own spinal and pelvic challenges. RAK Chiropractic provides postnatal care for new moms and also sees newborns for evaluation of birth-related spinal stress.
