Prenatal chiropractic care in Toronto

Pregnancy places significant demands on the spine and pelvis. Dr. Lauren Stethem offers gentle, pregnancy-adapted chiropractic care to support comfort and mobility throughout all trimesters.

Prenatal chiropractic

Gentle chiropractic support through pregnancy

As the body changes during pregnancy — shifting posture, loosening ligaments, growing belly — the spine and pelvis take on new demands. Many pregnant women experience lower back discomfort, pelvic tension, hip pain, and changes in how they move and sleep.

Dr. Lauren Stethem offers chiropractic care specifically adapted for pregnancy. Positioning is modified for comfort and safety at every trimester, and techniques are chosen based on your stage of pregnancy and individual presentation.

Prenatal chiropractic assessment and care may support improved spinal and pelvic function, reduced discomfort, and better mobility during pregnancy. Care is provided within the scope of chiropractic practice and does not replace obstetric care.

Common reasons pregnant patients seek chiropractic care

  • Lower back pain during pregnancy
  • Pelvic and sacroiliac joint discomfort
  • Hip tension and altered gait
  • Mid-back and rib discomfort
  • Difficulty sleeping due to physical discomfort
  • Postural support as the body changes

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

When provided by a licensed chiropractor using pregnancy-adapted techniques and positioning, chiropractic care is generally considered appropriate for pregnant patients. Dr. Stethem will review your history and current pregnancy status before recommending any care.

Do you use the Webster Technique?

Dr. Stethem is experienced in prenatal chiropractic care including gentle techniques adapted for pregnancy. Please discuss your specific care goals during your consultation.

Can I see a chiropractor in the first trimester?

Many patients begin prenatal chiropractic care in the first trimester. Your doctor will assess your situation and recommend care appropriate to your trimester and individual presentation.

Do I need to tell my OB or midwife that I'm seeing a chiropractor?

We recommend informing your obstetric care provider. Prenatal chiropractic care works alongside, not instead of, your primary obstetric care. Good communication between providers supports coordinated care.
