Chiropractic care during pregnancy is to provide mom with the best possible experience of pregnancy, allowing for the best possible environment for your growing baby.
Chiropractic care helps, and gentle chiropractic at our office can give you relief and peace-of-mind, knowing that Dr. Bonnie has been trained and certified in chiropractic specifically for supporting mom during pregnancy.
(Scroll down to videos showing you how it works.)
Dr. Bonnie regularly sees pregnancy chiropractic patients in Carbondale Monday-Tuesday and Friday.
Many women experience relief after one to three visits!
Baby kicking the ribs out of place? With our non-twisting adjustment, we can put your rib back where it needs to be- allowing you to breathe better or not have that pain.
Baby pushing on your pubic bone? We can realign your pubic bones so you can have as much comfort as possible throughout your pregnancy.
Low back aching? We can realign your low back- without any twisting - so that you can be comfortable until it gets moved out of place again.
Dr. Bonnie is trained in the chiropractic Webster Technique, which is the chiropractic specialized adjustment protocol developed specifically to support women in being more comfortable during pregnancy, which reduces mom's stress and helps create a better environment for your growing baby.
What Is Chiropractic Care and How Does It Work?
Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems, with an emphasis on the spine and joints. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat different health conditions. Dr. Bonnie uses the gentle Activator Method so that you can have a gentler experience while getting relief.
This includes a table that gently lowers you down (video 2 below), with a cushion for your belly. This creates a wonderful sense of relief on your low back (especially as you are getting bigger) - and allows you to lie face down with comfort for the short period of time for your adjustment.
In "Pregnancy Chiropractic in Our Office," Dr. Bonnie explains some of what happens in your body when you are carrying a baby, why it hurts, and why you have so much pressure in your low back and pelvic region. She also shares how the chiropractic adjustments in our office can help.

What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care?
You can get relief with neck pain, headaches, pubic bone pain, back pain, foot pain. You might even sleep better!

non-invasive treatment option. It is also drug-free, which means you can do it!
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy
Chiropractic care is generally considered to be safe for most people, but there are some exceptions. For instance, if you've had spinal surgery in the recent past or have metal implants on your spine, you should let Dr. Bonnie know so she can safely work around those areas. Reach out for a consultation with Dr. Bonnie to know if this treatment is right for you.
