Pregnancy & Postpartum

Support From Bump to Baby

What Is Prenatal & Postpartum Care?

Pregnancy and postpartum care focuses on helping your body adapt to the physical changes of carrying and caring for a baby. As your center of gravity shifts and hormones relax connective tissue, the pelvis, low back, and hips often take on extra strain. Gentle, specialized chiropractic care can ease discomfort and support better alignment throughout each stage.

Dr. Melnick is Webster Certified and a member of the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). The Webster Technique is a specific sacral analysis and adjustment approach used to reduce pelvic imbalance, supporting comfort during pregnancy and creating a strong foundation for postpartum recovery.

Who Can Benefit?

• Low back, hip, or pelvic pain during pregnancy
• Round ligament discomfort and pubic symphysis irritation
• Neck and upper back tension from postural changes
• Postpartum moms recovering from delivery, whether vaginal or C-section
• Diastasis recti, core weakness, and nursing-related posture strain

What to Expect

Prenatal visits use pregnancy-safe positioning and gentle techniques tailored to your trimester and comfort. There is no one-size-fits-all adjustment. Each session accounts for how your body is changing that week.

Postpartum care addresses the new demands on your body: feeding positions, carrying your baby, sleep deprivation, and the gradual return to exercise. In-home visits are especially helpful for new parents who cannot easily get to a clinic with a newborn in tow.
