Prenatal Care
Throughout pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes structural, emotional, and hormonal changes. A properly aligned pelvis can make pregnancy more comfortable, enjoyable, and delivery less complicated. With our prenatal chiropractic care we aim to provide a happy and healthy pregnancy in the St. George community.
Prenatal Conditions We Treat!
Our Approach to Prenatal Chiropractic
Dr. Kati Smith provides quality prenatal care during pregnancy, making your journey more enjoyable for you. With this in mind, we will assess your pelvic biomechanics to decrease your pregnancy aches and pains. We utilize a gentle chiropractic method called Webster Technique.

How Often Do We Treat During Pregnancy
We promote individualized treatment plans based on patients’ needs and wants. If you’re not dealing with severe pain or discomfort, this would be a typical treating frequency.
1st Trimester- 1 Visit
2nd Trimester- 1x/Month
3rd Trimester- 1x/2 Weeks
Last Month- 1x/Week
During your new patient visit, your chiropractor will indicate how often you should schedule your office visits. If you are dealing with severe pain or discomfort, this can lead to more adjustment or far fewer. As your pregnancy progresses, your treatment plan can change due to new aches and pains. When you are near your due date, we recommend frequent visits to help your body be in proper alignment for labor and delivery.
Your Visit With Us
We create treatment plans based on how your body is adjusting to pregnancy and consider any symptoms you are experiencing, and factor in how far along you are in your pregnancy. We offer muscle release technique, Webster Technique, and rehab based on your individual needs and preference.
