Safe, Gentle Support for Every Stage of Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most profound physical experiences your body will go through. As your baby grows, your spine, pelvis, and nervous system adapt to significant structural changes, which can create real discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care at Lakeshore Integrated Health offers safe, gentle, and clinically sound support that helps your body move through pregnancy with greater ease, comfort, and alignment.
Dr. Ryan Van Landschoot provides pregnancy-specific chiropractic care from the first trimester through the final weeks before delivery, tailored to where you are in your pregnancy and what your body needs at each stage.
During pregnancy, your body is doing extraordinary work. Chiropractic care supports that work by:
Yes. Prenatal chiropractic care is safe throughout all three trimesters when performed by a provider trained in pregnancy-specific techniques. At Lakeshore Integrated Health, we use gentle, low-force approaches adapted specifically for the pregnant body: no high-velocity manipulation, no positions that are uncomfortable for your belly. Our treatment table accommodates patients in every stage of pregnancy comfortably.
Your first prenatal chiropractic visit begins with a complete health and pregnancy history review. We’ll discuss your symptoms, how far along you are, any complications or considerations from your OB or midwife, and your goals for care. From there, Dr. Van Landschoot will conduct a gentle postural and structural assessment and design a care plan specific to your pregnancy.
Most expectant mothers visit weekly or bi-weekly, with frequency increasing in the third trimester as pelvic balance becomes more important for birth preparation.
Expectant mothers under regular chiropractic care often experience:
Your care doesn’t have to end at birth. The postpartum body goes through its own set of structural and physical changes, and chiropractic care plays an important role in recovery. We offer postpartum chiropractic and our Core to Floor restoration program to help new mothers rebuild core strength, address pelvic floor changes, and feel like themselves again.

Yes, prenatal chiropractic care is safe throughout all three trimesters when performed by a provider trained in pregnancy-specific techniques. At Lakeshore Integrated Health, we use gentle, low-force adjustments adapted specifically for the pregnant body. We never use high-velocity manipulation during pregnancy, and our treatment table is fully adjustable to keep you comfortable at every stage. As always, we recommend letting your OB or midwife know you’re receiving chiropractic care, and we’re happy to coordinate with your obstetric provider if needed.
You can begin prenatal chiropractic care at any point during your pregnancy, first trimester, second trimester, or third trimester. Many patients come to us when symptoms like back pain or sciatica first appear, but starting earlier allows us to support your body through the full range of postural and structural changes that happen as your pregnancy progresses. Third trimester visits are particularly valuable for pelvic balance and birth preparation.
Back pain and sciatica are among the most common complaints we treat in expectant mothers, and chiropractic care is one of the most effective non-medication options available during pregnancy. As your center of gravity shifts and your lumbar curve deepens, the resulting spinal and nerve stress often responds very well to gentle adjustments. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within the first few visits.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic protocol developed for pregnant patients that focuses on sacral alignment and the surrounding soft tissue. It’s associated with improved pelvic balance and is commonly used in the third trimester to support the conditions for optimal fetal positioning. Dr. Van Landschoot incorporates Webster Technique principles into prenatal care. If this is something you’re specifically looking for, mention it when you book, and we’ll make sure it’s part of your assessment.
Yes. The postpartum body goes through significant structural changes of its own, and many of the patients we care for during pregnancy continue with us after delivery. We offer postpartum chiropractic care alongside our Core to Floor program, a combination of chiropractic support, core reconstruction, and pelvic floor restoration designed specifically for new mothers. Whether you delivered vaginally or by C-section, we’ll design a postpartum plan appropriate for your recovery timeline.
