Pregnancy & Postpartum

Webster Chiropractors

Growing a human is hard enough — including how your back, hips and pelvis feel.

Whether you're dealing with low back pain, pelvic discomfort, tight hips or simply don't feel like yourself when you move, we're here to help. Our prenatal chiropractic care is gentle, personalized and adapted to what your body needs throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Our prenatal care includes the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and approach commonly used during pregnancy to address pelvic biomechanics and related musculoskeletal concerns.

After birth, we help moms address common concerns such as back pain, neck and shoulder tension, hip and pelvic discomfort, and the physical demands of feeding and caring for a newborn.

Common Reasons Expecting Moms See Us

Pregnancy can change how your whole body feels and moves. Here are some of the most common reasons expecting moms come to see us.

  • Breech Baby & Optimal Baby Positioning

    Webster technique is a specific technique to help improve optimal position of baby for an easier labor.

  • Low Back Pain
    Aching, stiffness or discomfort as your body changes.

  • Pelvic & SI Joint Pain
    Discomfort with walking, standing, rolling over or changing positions.

  • Hip Tension
    Tight, sore or restricted hips during pregnancy.

  • Round Ligament Discomfort
    Support for the musculoskeletal tension that can accompany a growing belly.

  • Neck & Shoulder Tension
    Because pregnancy doesn't only affect your low back.

  • Staying Comfortable & Mobile
    Helping you keep moving and feeling your best throughout pregnancy.

Breech Baby & Optimal Fetal Positioning Support

If your baby is breech or not yet head-down, we can discuss supportive care options, including the Webster Technique and approaches informed by Spinning Babies® principles. These approaches focus on maternal movement, balance, and comfort with the goal of supporting space and mobility as your body adapts during pregnancy.

We encourage collaboration with your OB-GYN or midwife when a baby is breech and can work alongside your maternity care team to help you understand your options. The Webster Technique and Spinning Babies® activities cannot guarantee that a baby will turn head-down and are not substitutes for obstetric assessment or evidence-based breech management.

Our goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and comfortable throughout pregnancy, with care tailored to your individual needs.

Pelvic Floor & Postpartum Recovery

Pregnancy and childbirth can affect your pelvic floor, hips, and surrounding muscles. If you're experiencing pelvic discomfort, pressure, or difficulty returning to exercise, you don't have to navigate recovery alone.

At LiveSmart Chiropractic & Rehab, we address musculoskeletal concerns involving the pelvis, hips, and low back. When appropriate, we collaborate with pelvic floor physical therapists to support a more comprehensive approach to postpartum recovery.

Chiropractic care and pelvic floor physical therapy can complement one another. While we focus on joint mobility, musculoskeletal function, and movement, pelvic floor physical therapists provide specialized assessment and rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles, including coordination, strength, relaxation, and functional control.

Our goal is to help you connect with the right providers for your needs and feel supported as you recover, return to exercise, and navigate the physical demands of motherhood.

We welcome collaboration with pelvic floor physical therapists and other providers who support women's health throughout pregnancy and postpartum.

Breastfeeding Support & Therapeutic Ultrasound in San Diego

Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience, but the physical demands of feeding, holding, and caring for a newborn can take a toll on your body. From neck, back, and shoulder pain to postural strain from frequent feeding sessions, new moms deserve support, too.

At LiveSmart Chiropractic & Rehab in Mira Mesa, San Diego, we provide individualized Chiropractic care to help breastfeeding mothers manage musculoskeletal discomfort associated with pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and caring for a newborn.

Support for Breastfeeding Discomfort

Alongside care for neck, back, and shoulder tension, we offer therapeutic ultrasound as an optional adjunct for selected cases of breast discomfort, breast engorgement support and blocked/clogged duct support associated with lactational inflammation. This noninvasive treatment uses high-frequency sound waves applied to the skin and may be considered as part of an individualized care plan.

We understand that breastfeeding challenges can involve more than one factor, which is why we value collaboration with International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) throughout the San Diego community. Lactation consultants can help with latch, positioning, milk transfer, pumping, and feeding concerns, while we address musculoskeletal needs within our scope of practice.

Our goal is to help you feel supported and comfortable as you navigate the physical demands of postpartum life and breastfeeding.
