Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Bergen County, NJ
What Is Pregnancy Chiropractic Care?
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care focuses on helping expectant mothers stay comfortable, balanced, and healthy throughout pregnancy. As your body changes, spinal misalignments, pelvic imbalance, and joint strain can occur—leading to back pain, sciatica, or discomfort. Gentle, specialized chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment and improve overall wellness for both mother and baby.
At The Spine & Health Center of New Jersey, our prenatal chiropractors—Dr. Kim DelMage, DC and Dr. Deanna Vallejo, DC—are both certified in the Webster Technique, a specialized method designed to support pelvic balance and reduce tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments. Our care is tailored to every stage of pregnancy, helping you prepare for a more comfortable, healthy experience from conception through postpartum recovery.
We proudly provide pregnancy chiropractic care at our Closter, Park Ridge, and Montvale locations, serving patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic method that helps align the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues during pregnancy. The goal is to restore balance to the pelvic muscles and ligaments, helping the uterus remain properly supported.
This technique:
- Reduces tension in the round ligaments that can cause pelvic or groin pain.
- Improves pelvic alignment to allow for more space and comfort during pregnancy.
- Promotes optimal fetal positioning without manipulating the baby directly.
- Encourages shorter, less complicated labor and delivery for many patients.
Only chiropractors with specialized prenatal training are certified in the Webster Technique—like Dr. DelMage and Dr. Vallejo, who have completed advanced coursework through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
How Chiropractic Care Supports Pregnancy
Our prenatal chiropractors use gentle, targeted adjustments to:
-
Align the Pelvis and Spine For optimal balance and comfort.
-
Reduce Nerve Irritation Caused by shifting joints or pressure on the sciatic nerve.
-
Support Healthy Posture As your center of gravity changes.
-
Ease Tension in the Round Ligaments and Hips Reducing lower back and groin pain.
-
Encourage Proper Nervous System Function Supporting both mother and baby.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes—chiropractic care is widely recognized as safe during pregnancy when performed by licensed professionals with prenatal training. Our chiropractors use gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques, avoiding any pressure on the abdomen or areas that could cause discomfort.
However, patients with specific health concerns such as vaginal bleeding, placenta previa, or risk of preterm labor should consult with their obstetrician before beginning care. Our team coordinates with your healthcare providers to ensure every adjustment supports your safety and comfort.
