Understanding the problem
What is chiropractic for pregnant women?
Chiropractic is a health care profession recognized by the WHO which is responsible for the detection and correction of interferences in the spine and nervous system. During gestation, the body undergoes physiological and endocrine changes to create the right environment for the baby: the abdomen protrudes, the lumbar curve increases and postural adaptations occur that misalign the joints.
The Dr. Marc Bony uses gentle, targeted manual adjustments to align the spine and pelvis. This not only relieves pain, but ensures that the nervous system functions properly, allowing all organs of the body to operate without interference during fetal development.
Benefits of chiropractic during pregnancy
Chiropractic care improves the quality of life in each trimester by adapting to the changing needs of the mother:
First Quarter
Helps control common symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and headaches by stabilizing nervous system function.
Second Quarter
As the uterus grows, pelvic ligament pain and back strain occur. Adjustments prevent and relieve sciatica (common from the second trimester onwards) by relieving pressure on the nerve.
Third Trimester and Delivery
Maintaining a balanced and aligned pelvis is crucial. A misaligned pelvis can reduce the space available for the baby (intrauterine constraint).
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Totally. There are no known contraindications for chiropractic care during pregnancy. In our center, we use special tables that adapt to the pregnant woman's body and techniques that avoid any unnecessary pressure on the abdomen.
Dr. Marc Bony and his team have the required advanced training (certifications such as ICPA y Webster) to treat fertility and prenatal well-being with maximum safety. However, if there is unexplained vaginal bleeding or risk of premature delivery, we always recommend prior consultation with your specialist.
When to visit and frequency of visits
Ideally, an early evaluation should begin early in pregnancy to correct misalignments before discomfort appears.
- Recommended frequency: Generally, a monthly visit is recommended until the seventh month, increasing the frequency to every two to three weeks in the last trimester to prepare the birth canal.
- Postpartum: After giving birth, chiropractic is essential to assist the mother in her physical recovery and to realign the pelvis after the stress of childbirth and breastfeeding postures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it safe for my baby?
It's 100% safe. We use stretchers designed for pregnant women (with a space for the belly) and «sustained pressure» techniques that are so gentle you could fall asleep.
When should I start?
Yesterday! The sooner we align your pelvis, the more room your baby will have to grow. However, it's never too late; even at 38 weeks, chiropractic helps make your pelvis more flexible for delivery.
Will it help me after giving birth?
Absolutely. Postpartum is the time to «reposition» everything. We help your body recover from the strain and correct the stooped posture typical of breastfeeding.
