How Ali Prepared Her Body for Birth and Found Relief Through Chiropractic Care

When Ali found out she was pregnant for the first time, she knew she wanted to do everything she could to support her body naturally. She wasn’t in crisis or battling severe pain, just starting to notice the subtle shifts that come with pregnancy. Rather than wait for discomfort to grow, she chose to be proactive and begin chiropractic care early.

“I wanted to be as proactive as possible so I could have the best pregnancy I could.”

At Radiant Waves Chiropractic, we see so many moms like Ali. Those who want to stay ahead of tension, prepare for a smoother birth, and support their growing baby every step of the way. For Ali, the first signs that care was helping came quickly: better sleep, improved mood, and a noticeable difference in how she felt overall.

“I’d hear all these horror stories about how uncomfortable pregnancy can be, but I never felt that way.”

The Science Behind Ali’s Care

Ali’s care began with our INSiGHT scans, a non-invasive technology that shows how the nervous system is adapting to stress. Care at Radiant Waves highlights the value of these scans during pregnancy: when nerve tension and subluxation are present, they can disrupt the connection between brain and body, increasing the likelihood of pain, fatigue, and even labor challenges. Scans help us track patterns of stress and make targeted adjustments to restore balance.

Ali’s scans showed areas of tension, but as care progressed, those patterns shifted. Her nervous system began functioning more efficiently, setting the stage for the biggest milestone in her third trimester—when her breech baby turned head-down.

This is one of the most exciting outcomes we can see in prenatal chiropractic. Proper alignment of the pelvis and decreased tension in the ligaments and surrounding tissues can create more room for baby to move into an ideal position. While chiropractic doesn’t directly “turn” babies, it absolutely helps restore the balance and mobility needed for optimal fetal positioning.

Postpartum and Beyond

Now that baby girl is here, Ali continues to prioritize her nervous system with postpartum care, and her daughter has already begun her own chiropractic journey with us. We love caring for both mama and baby—watching their nervous systems stay connected, calm, and resilient through every stage.

“Definitely do it. It’s so worth the investment.”

If you’re pregnant or planning to be, take Ali’s story as encouragement. Whether you’re experiencing pain, preparing for birth, or simply want a healthier start, chiropractic care is a powerful, science-backed way to support your body through the entire journey.
