Pregnancy places unique demands on a woman’s body, often resulting in back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, and postural changes. Hormonal shifts and weight gain can affect spinal alignment, joint mobility, and muscle function.

At Mission Chiropractic Santa Clara, we provide safe, evidence-informed prenatal care to support comfort, mobility, and overall wellness throughout pregnancy using chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and acupuncture. Here’s how we help:

Chiropractic Care for Prenatal Support

Chiropractic adjustments are modified for pregnancy to safely restore joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and improve spinal alignment. Prenatal chiropractic care can help relieve back and pelvic pain, support proper posture, and optimize musculoskeletal function to improve comfort during daily activities and labor preparation.

Massage Therapy for Pregnancy Discomfort

Prenatal massage is specifically adapted to support the changing body during pregnancy. Gentle, targeted massage helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve swelling or discomfort in the lower back, hips, and legs, enhancing overall prenatal comfort and relaxation.

Acupuncture for Pain Relief and Wellness

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help manage pregnancy-related discomfort, including back pain, headaches, and pelvic tension. Acupuncture may also support stress reduction, improve sleep, and promote overall wellness during pregnancy.

Individualized, Safe Care

Each treatment plan is tailored to your trimester, symptoms, and functional goals. All care is provided using evidence-based, pregnancy-safe techniques, with a focus on comfort, safety, and measurable improvement.

In short, our goal is to help you move and feel better throughout pregnancy—reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and supporting wellness for both mother and baby.
