Safe Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

We know you might have questions about safety or what to expect—and you’re not alone. Dr. Kehoe is certified in the Webster Technique, a chiropractic approach made just for pregnancy. The Webster Technique gently balances the pelvis and surrounding ligaments, helping both mom and baby remain comfortable.

Our office is equipped with pregnancy pillows and an adjustable table to ensure your comfort every step of the way.

Helping You Feel Better

Why consider visiting us during your pregnancy? When your pelvis and sacrum are properly aligned, you may experience:

Less sciatic and pelvic pain
Improved sleep
Easier mobility and greater comfort
Reduced chance of breech positioning
Smoother, quicker, and more comfortable birth

Many expectant moms choose us because of our reputation for gentle, effective support tailored precisely to your needs. During your visits, care is always gentle—even the adjustments themselves typically use a comfortable pelvic drop technique. Dr. Kehoe also addresses tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, with special attention to the round ligament to further support your body’s balance.

Most moms visit once or twice a week, but your plan is tailored just for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Absolutely. Dr. Kehoe has never seen any documented issues with chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy, and care is always personalized with your comfort and safety in mind. Every step is focused on making sure you and your baby are safe, and all adjustments and techniques are adapted for pregnancy.

How will I be positioned during my appointment?

With our adjustable table and pregnancy pillows, you’ll always be comfortably supported—even when lying face down. Most moms are pleasantly surprised by how relaxed and at ease they feel throughout their session. Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities each time you visit.

How does the Webster Technique benefit pregnancy?

The *Webster Technique* is a specialized chiropractic adjustment used to optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics. By reducing stress on the pelvic ligaments and balancing the alignment of the sacrum, we create an environment that allows the baby the greatest amount of room to move and settle into the best possible position for birth. For the mother, this often results in significantly reduced pelvic pressure and a more comfortable third trimester.

Can chiropractic care lead to shorter labor and delivery times?

Research suggests that women who receive regular chiropractic care during pregnancy may experience shorter labor times and fewer medical interventions. When the pelvis is properly aligned and the nervous system is functioning without interference, the body can communicate more effectively during the labor process. Our goal in Orland Park is to ensure the “power, passage, and passenger” are all in neurological harmony for a smoother birth experience.

Why is postpartum chiropractic care important for new mothers?

The “Fourth Trimester” involves massive physical and neurological shifts as the body recovers from birth and adapts to the demands of nursing and carrying a newborn. Postpartum adjustments help realign the pelvis and spine after the hormone *relaxin* leaves the system, while also addressing the “upper cross” tension (neck and shoulder pain) common in breastfeeding
mothers. This support helps regulate the mother’s nervous system, aiding in energy restoration and emotional well-being.
