What conditions can chiropractic care help with?

Chiropractic care can address a wide range of issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint discomfort, sciatica, and mobility problems. Regular adjustments also promote overall wellness by improving spinal alignment and nervous system function.

How often should I visit a chiropractor?

The frequency of visits depends on your individual needs and treatment plan. For acute conditions, you may need more frequent visits, while maintenance care could involve monthly adjustments. At Ballas Chiropractic & Nutrition Centre, we tailor care to your specific goals.

What Is Pregnancy Chiropractic Care?

Pregnancy chiropractic care uses gentle techniques to keep your spine and pelvis balanced as your body adapts to a growing baby. Dr. Wipperman uses manual or instrument-assisted adjustments, chosen based on your comfort and stage of pregnancy, to ease nervous system interference and promote healthier movement as your posture shifts trimester by trimester.

What Pregnancy Symptoms Does Chiropractic Care Address?

Pregnancy places new demands on the spine, pelvis, and surrounding soft tissue. Patients often come to us for:

Low back and pelvic girdle pain
Sacroiliac (SI) joint discomfort
Sciatica like pain in the hip or leg
Round ligament discomfort
Rib and mid back pain
Hip pain and trouble sleeping comfortably
Postural strain in the neck and shoulders

What Can You Expect at Your Appointments?

Your first visit includes a conversation about how you’re feeling and a gentle exam of how your body is adapting to pregnancy. We use a specialized table with a cutout for your belly, so you can lie face down safely and comfortably for your adjustment. Early on, we typically see patients a few times a week until symptoms ease, then space visits out until your due date nears, when we may see you more often to help your body prepare for delivery. Bring the kids along if you need to. Our play area gives them something to do while you get your adjustment.

What Results Can Patients Expect?

Many patients notice less back and pelvic pain, better sleep, and easier movement as care continues. Keeping the pelvis and spine balanced may also encourage more favorable positioning for your baby as delivery approaches, and some patients report smoother labors with fewer interventions.

Care doesn’t have to stop at delivery either. Many moms continue with postnatal visits to help their bodies recover after birth, and we offer a complimentary newborn wellness checkup.

Working Alongside Your OB or Midwife

Pregnancy chiropractic care is meant to complement your existing prenatal care, not replace it. We’re glad to coordinate with your OB, midwife, or maternal-fetal medicine specialist whenever it’s helpful, sharing updates on your care with your authorization so everyone involved in your pregnancy is on the same page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Pregnancy chiropractic care uses gentle techniques designed specifically for pregnant bodies, and adjustments are modified based on your trimester and comfort level. Published research indicates that serious complications from chiropractic care during pregnancy are rare when it’s provided by a trained practitioner who screens for standard contraindications.

When should I start chiropractic care during pregnancy?

There’s no single right time. Some patients start as soon as they learn they’re expecting, while others wait until discomfort begins, often in the second or third trimester.

Can chiropractic care help with baby positioning?

Many patients find that a balanced pelvis promotes better positioning for the baby as the due date approaches. We’re happy to talk through what care could look like for your situation.
