Pre & Postnatal Chiropractic
in Northeast Colorado Springs
Pregnancy changes everything about how your body functions. Your center of gravity shifts, hormones increase joint mobility, and your growing baby places new demands on your spine and pelvis. Many expectant moms are referred to Caplan Chiropractic by their midwife or OB-GYN because they understand that proper spinal alignment directly impacts both comfort during pregnancy and ease of delivery.
Webster Certified Excellence
Dr. Michelle Caplan is certified by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and holds Webster Technique certification, which she has renewed twice with lifetime validity. This specialized method focuses on assessing, balancing and aligning the pelvis and sacrum. When the mother’s pelvis is balanced, it allows her baby to get into the most comfortable position, making pregnancy and labor more comfortable for both Mom and Baby.
Comprehensive Benefits Throughout Pregnancy
Prenatal chiropractic care creates pelvic balance, which prepares the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth. It reduces tension in the uterus, creating increased ease and comfort throughout pregnancy and decreasing the need for interventions during birth. Care also creates the room babies need to get into the best position for birth while optimizing their development and decreasing dystocia and birth trauma.
Gentle, Personalized Approach
Dr. Michelle uses a comfortable pregnancy pillow as your belly grows larger and adjusts her technique, typically starting with the expectant mother in a face-up position rather than face down. She continues to provide soft tissue work throughout pregnancy, making adjustments that are less forceful and more comfortable. Most importantly, she creates a safe space where you can express both excitement and concerns without judgment.
Essential Postnatal Recovery
Care shouldn’t stop after birth. Delivery is traumatic for both you and your baby, and getting your body and nervous system back to optimal function through postnatal care gives you the energy to enjoy time with your new baby and truly bond. Dr. Michelle has helped mothers even at 38-40 weeks avoid hospital transfers and interventions, supporting the meaningful, emotional birth experience you hoped for.
