Care for Expecting Mothers
Prenatal Chiropractic in Littleton, CO
Pregnancy places unique demands on your body. Gentle chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can reduce back and hip pain, improve pelvic alignment, support optimal fetal positioning, and help your body prepare for a smoother delivery.
The Importance of Prenatal Chiropractic
During pregnancy, women go through significant physiological and endocrinological changes as the body creates the right environment for the developing baby. The increased weight, shifting center of gravity, hormonal changes that loosen ligaments, and altered posture all contribute to spinal misalignments that can cause considerable discomfort.
Common pregnancy-related complaints include lower back pain, hip and sacroiliac joint pain, round ligament pain, sciatica, pubic symphysis dysfunction, headaches, and general discomfort from poor posture. Many women are told these symptoms are just a normal part of pregnancy that they have to endure. That is not true.
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association states that chiropractic care is not only safe and effective during pregnancy, but can also help with labor, delivery, and recovery. Regular adjustments throughout pregnancy help maintain proper pelvic alignment, which supports optimal fetal positioning and can contribute to shorter, less complicated deliveries.
“I wish I could come here every day! I always feel welcomed, cared about, and understood. Any problem I have, Dr. Dody has been the biggest cheerleader and helper to get it resolved.”

Safe, Gentle Technique During Pregnancy
Dr. Dody’s KST technique is particularly well-suited for expecting mothers. Because the ArthroStim instrument delivers precise, low-force corrections, there is no forceful manipulation, twisting, or cracking. The technique can be performed with you in any comfortable position, including standing or sitting, so there is never any need to lie face-down.
KST analyzes you in the position of distress, which is especially valuable during pregnancy. If your pain occurs when standing, walking, or transitioning from sitting to standing, Dr. Dody evaluates you in that exact position to find the precise correction needed.
Care is safe throughout all three trimesters and can be continued right up to delivery. Many patients find that regular adjustments during the third trimester help with comfort, sleep quality, and preparation for labor. Post-partum adjustments support recovery and help your body return to its pre-pregnancy alignment.
