Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic Care in Lincoln, NE
Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to a woman's body — and with those changes often come discomfort, back pain, and pelvic pressure. At Kepler Family Chiropractic, we specialize in safe, gentle prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care that supports both mom and baby.
Why Chiropractic During Pregnancy?
As the body adapts to support a growing baby, the spine and pelvis undergo significant shifts. Common pregnancy concerns we help address include:
- Lower back and hip pain
- Sciatic nerve discomfort
- Round ligament pain
- Pelvic misalignment (which can affect baby's positioning)
- Postural strain from a shifting center of gravity
The Webster-Informed Approach
Our care focuses on balancing the pelvis and reducing tension in surrounding ligaments. Properly aligned pelvic structures may support easier labor and optimal fetal positioning in the third trimester.
Postpartum Recovery
Birth — whether vaginal or cesarean — is a major physical event. Postpartum chiropractic care helps:
- Restore pelvic alignment
- Address upper back and neck strain from nursing and carrying baby
- Support recovery of core and pelvic floor function
- Ease tension headaches and fatigue
Gentle Care for Every Stage
Dr. Shane Kepler uses techniques specifically adapted for pregnancy — no aggressive movements, no pressure on the abdomen, just precise, comfortable adjustments.
