Pregnancy Chiropractic in Riverside South
Gentle Care for a More Comfortable Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings meaningful changes to your body, and some of those changes can make daily life feel harder. Lower back tension, pelvic discomfort, trouble sleeping, and general aches may affect how you move, rest, and feel throughout the day.
Ottawa Family Chiropractic offers prenatal care with chiropractor Dr. Hester Potts, who brings more than 20 years of experience caring for expectant mothers and growing families. Her approach is gentle and personal, adapting to your changing body with a focus on comfort, mobility, and helping you move and function more comfortably throughout pregnancy.
Prenatal Care Adapted to Your Body
Dr. Potts uses modified chiropractic techniques for pregnant patients, including pregnancy pillows that allow you to lie comfortably on the table. Many expectant mothers appreciate this small but meaningful part of the visit, especially later in pregnancy when comfortable positions may be harder to find.
Care may focus on the pelvis, spine, and surrounding joints as your body adapts to postural changes, weight shifts, and the physical demands of pregnancy. Dr. Potts takes time to listen, explain what she is doing, and adjust her approach based on your comfort level.
When to Begin Your Care
Some patients start their visits before becoming pregnant, while others visit during the first, second, or third trimester. Dr. Potts welcomes patients at any stage and can discuss what may be appropriate based on your needs and health history.
Your first visit typically takes 35 to 45 minutes. Dr. Potts will review your concerns, ask about your pregnancy, answer your questions, and, when appropriate, provide a gentle adjustment during that appointment. You do not need special clothing, though loose, comfortable clothing may be helpful.
Postpartum visits are also available for mothers adjusting after delivery and caring for a newborn.
