Pregnancy and birth are powerful windows for transformation—not only for improving physical health and habits, but for deepening self-awareness, relationships, and a sense of purpose. 

When birth is honored as a meaningful, community-centered experience rather than a purely clinical event, it has the potential to heal not just individuals, but families and cultures. By bringing presence, intention, and reverence to these moments, we reconnect with a deeper wisdom about life, growth, and belonging.

Chiropractic care supports this transformation by helping the body function with greater balance and ease during pregnancy and birth, creating the conditions for a more connected, empowered, and physiologically supported experience.

“The child becomes more and more conscious of himself and his surroundings. Each new accomplishment brings more challenges and responsibility to the child, and a little less work for the parent.

With time, the body’s energy increases and the child becomes more energetic. As this energy increases, chronic health symptoms begin to recede. Toxins are eliminated from the body as it gets stronger. These typically manifest as skin rashes, diarrhea, vomiting, fevers and seizures. As the body regains its strength and performance, a retracing of interrupted development begins. Retracing means going back to the original pattern of development and re-experiencing correctly the stages of sensory intake and motor output, and the integration of emotional well-being and higher intelligence. Retracing is part of the body’s healing process.” – Bobby Doscher, DC

Chiropractic philosophy centers on the body’s innate intelligence—the built-in ability to heal, adapt, and self-regulate when supported and free from interference.

“One aspect of birth that’s particularly relevant is the topic of dystocia, or the cause for birth to slow down and stop progressing. Williams Obstetrics defines dystocia as being related to three aspects of birth: power, passage, and passenger.

Power is how the uterus is functioning and the ability of the cervix to dilate. It’s an intelligent physiological process that’s coordinated through the activity of the nervous system. If a pregnant mom’s spine is out of alignment, or if she is experiencing undue stress and perceived danger in her environment, her nervous system will shift out of its ideal physiological state for giving birth.

A subluxation, or misalignment of the spine, can cause the body to signal a fight-or-flight response, just as external stressors in the birth environment can and often do. Going back to the importance of the autonomic nervous system, if the mother is in this state of fight-or-flight during labor, the cervix won’t dilate effectively, and the uterus’s function will begin to shut down.” – Jeanne Ohm, DC

Dystocia, or stalled labor, can occur when the body’s natural birthing processes are disrupted—particularly when nervous system stress interferes with uterine function and cervical dilation.

Chiropractic care aims to support proper nervous system function and spinal alignment, helping create the optimal physiological state for the body to progress through labor more efficiently.

“In a nutshell, each time a chiropractor adjusts someone’s spine, we replace the negative information that is flooding the brain with positive information. This recalibrates the brain to help stop the release of chronic stress hormones and allows overall health and healing to occur. Every time a person receives a chiropractic adjustment, it positively affects the brain and nervous system. This positive effect on the brain promotes a state of ease and well-being within the body.” – John Minardi, DC

Chiropractic adjustments influence the brain and nervous system by reducing stress signals caused by spinal misalignments, helping shift the body out of chronic fight-or-flight and back into a state that supports healing, regulation, and optimal function.

By restoring this balance, chiropractic care may improve overall physiological processes—including reproduction, digestion, and immune function—which helps explain the wide-ranging health changes people experience under care.

“Research shows that how women feel about their control over the decisions made during their births impacts how they reflect on their birth experiences. Many independent childbirth classes gear their content and approach toward this, providing expectant parents with the tools needed to be as in control of their birthing process as possible and how to feel empowered and confident throughout, regardless of how they choose to cope with the labor discomfort. When women come out of their births feeling like they were in control, they have an easier time integrating the experience into their postpartum reality and transitioning into the new role of mothering.” – Brittany Sharpe McCollum, CD(DONA)

Childbirth education is an essential part of preparing for birth, but the wide range of options—especially between hospital-based and independent classes—can feel overwhelming for expectant parents.

While hospital classes tend to focus on standard procedures and what to expect in a medical setting, independent classes often offer a more holistic approach, emphasizing informed choice, hands-on coping techniques, and empowerment in decision-making.

Ultimately, independent childbirth education can help parents feel more confident, supported, and in control of their birth experience, leading to a more positive transition into postpartum life.

“Crawling helps the baby measure the world that surrounds him; the distance between his eyes and his hand when he is in the crawling position will become fundamental in everything he does and will have an impact in his future development. This is called optical convergence, which helps us to know at what distance an object is located, its volume, and its size. It helps the baby to know how the distance from the sofa to the floor and if it is safe to go down face or feet first. This ability will be important in the future in order to clearly see things that are near, such as letters and pictures in a book, or things which are far away, such as words or drawings in the classroom and be able to accommodate far and near objects instantly.” – Bernardo Sañudo-Diez, DC

Crawling supports balance, coordination, vision, and even future skills like reading, writing, and problem-solving. It also helps shape the natural curves of the spine and prepares the body for upright posture and walking.

When this stage is skipped or rushed, babies can miss out on key neurological and structural development that sets the foundation for lifelong function. That’s why giving babies time, space, and encouragement to crawl is so important.

This is also where chiropractic care comes in: supporting proper spinal alignment and nervous system function so your baby can move, grow, and develop exactly as they’re designed to.

“The major premise of chiropractic states: ‘A universal intelligence is in all matter and continually gives to it all its properties and actions, thus maintaining it in existence.’

Our decision, therefore, to trust my innate ability to give birth was strong. And the experience of this type of intuitive birthing strengthened our trust in these principles—strength to last a lifetime.

Having a natural, inspired and intuitive birth comes about by surrounding ourselves with those who also hold these principles to be true. But beyond any birth care team we may have and the level of trust they embody on our behalf, it will always come down to the essence of our conscious choices, made from our deepest core values.” – Jeanne Ohm, DC

Trusting in the body’s innate intelligence can empower intuitive, natural birth experiences, guided by conscious choices and supported by aligned practitioners and environments.

“Vitalism assumes that life is self-determining and self-evolving. The basic principle of vitalism is that the body has an inherent (or inborn) intelligence which animates, motivates, heals, coordinates and inspires living beings. This Wisdom Within guides and directs our lives on our individual paths of healing, to be restored to wholeness in mind, body and spirit.” – Donald Glassey, MSW, DC, LMT

Vitalism is at the heart of chiropractic philosophy, recognizing that the body is guided by an innate intelligence that coordinates healing, adaptation, and overall function through the nervous system. Chiropractic care seeks to remove interference within this system so this inherent wisdom can be more fully expressed, allowing the body to heal and regulate itself as intended.

“This happens for several reasons. Dystocia, difficult or obstructed labor, is often caused by what is called in utero constraint, which can be further caused by mechanical restrictions in the pelvic floor and uterus. There are six primary markers that chiropractors look for in addressing in utero constraint: sacroiliac alignment, sacrotuberous ligament tone, piriformis tone, p***c symphysis alignment, round ligament tone, and iliopsoas tone. Each of these biomechanical markers play a role in baby’s positioning and while chiropractors do not turn breech babies, we can facilitate optimal fetal positioning by removing interference.” – Daniel Bronstein, DC, DACCP

Webster chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on aligning the pelvis and reducing mechanical restrictions that can affect comfort, fetal positioning, and the birth process.

When the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments are balanced, babies can engage more effectively for labor.

By gently correcting sacral and pelvic misalignments and addressing soft tissue tension, chiropractors aim to reduce in-utero constraint and support a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy and birth!

“The specific chiropractic adjustment process gradually restores the neurological connection between your brain and your body and takes you out of survival mode, both mentally and physically. And, because of this connection between psychology and physiology, an upward spiral in health and vitality results, including your outlook on life.

A gradual awakening reveals the whole picture of your life and the direction the world is moving; it drives all of your thoughts, words, and actions. No longer do you think strictly about selfish and short–term solutions to immediate problems. You begin to deliberately make choices to change the world for the better in the long run.” – Kevin Donka, DC

When the body is in neurological stress due to subluxation, it can push both the body and mind into survival mode, but chiropractic adjustments help restore greater health, energy, and a more expansive outlook on life.

“Feeding difficulties often involve a complex interplay between the anatomy and function of the tongue, oral structures, and overall body tension. At the center of many feeding challenges is the frenulum, a small band of tissue that connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is too tight or restricted, it is known as a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), which can severely impact an infant’s ability to latch and feed effectively. It can also affect swallowing, speech, and breathing.

However, the frenulum does not exist in isolation. It is part of a broader network of connective tissue and fascia that interacts with muscles like the genioglossus—a key muscle responsible for tongue movement and stability. Tension within this fascial network can restrict the tongue’s range of motion, creating challenges that manifest as breastfeeding difficulties, discomfort, and inadequate milk transfer.

Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in addressing these neuromuscular tensions. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can relieve tightness and restore normal function by focusing on the fascia, cranial bones, and soft tissues that connect to the tongue. This non-invasive approach targets the root causes of some feeding dysfunction, providing a vital step before considering surgical interventions such as frenectomy.” – Naiomi Catron, RN, IBCLC, Jared Poplin, DMD, Stephanie Gessner, DC & Brittany Guelzow, DC

Infant feeding challenges are often connected to tongue-tie and broader fascial and neuromuscular tension affecting tongue movement, and gentle chiropractic care can help restore function and relieve these restrictions to support more effective feeding.
