Dr. Thompson is excited to be a part of your journey into motherhood.  Pregnancy is a very exciting time in a woman’s life; keeping the spine, pelvis and nervous system free from interference, can help create the best experience throughout pregnancy and delivery.  Dr. Thompson and her staff love meeting a new baby after they have worked with their mother during pregnancy.

Why is it important to have chiropractic care during pregnancy?

Many changes take place in a woman’s body during pregnancy.  Your center of gravity changes as the abdomen starts to protrude causing an increased curve in the lower back.  Numerous changes take place in the pelvis and the entire body makes postural adaptations for the increased weight and shape.
