Pregnancy Chiropractic in Fargo
Rolling over in bed shouldn’t feel like a major undertaking. But as pregnancy progresses, a sore lower back or aching hips can make everyday movements uncomfortable. At Bjorlie Chiropractic, Dr. Kevin Bjorlie, DC, listens to what you’re experiencing and adapts care to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level.
Care That Changes Along with You
Pregnancy changes the demands on your muscles, joints, and pelvis. Your posture shifts, and movements that once felt easy may take more effort. Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on musculoskeletal discomfort and movement, with recommendations based on your health history and examination.
Each visit is a chance to discuss what’s changed. If lying in a particular position feels uncomfortable or a new concern comes up, your chiropractor wants to know. Your feedback helps guide positioning, technique selection, and changes to the plan as the pregnancy progresses.
When Aches Get in the Way
Expectant mothers may seek an assessment for concerns such as:
- Low back and SI joint pain
- Hip or pelvic discomfort, including pain near the pubic joint
- Upper back tension as posture and breast size change
- Neck pain and headaches
- Difficulty getting comfortable in bed because of aches or stiffness
Your chiropractor will assess these concerns and explain whether chiropractic care is suitable. Some symptoms may need assessment by your maternity healthcare provider.
Techniques Adapted for Your Comfort
Care may include hands-on adjustments modified for pregnancy or instrument-assisted options such as Activator Methods® and Impulse IQ®. These instruments deliver controlled impulses to selected areas, offering alternatives when manual adjustments or certain positions feel uncomfortable.
The Webster Technique focuses on assessing and addressing sacral and SI joint function. It may be incorporated into care focused on the mother’s pelvic movement and comfort.
Your chiropractor may also discuss positioning and exercises to help you manage the changing physical demands. This might include talking through movements that bother you at home and ways to make daily activities more comfortable. Recommendations complement your ongoing prenatal care.
