Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Located in Middleton, Idaho, Serendipity Chiropractic provides prenatal chiropractic care for expectant mothers while supporting families through every stage of life. We proudly serve patients from Middleton, Caldwell, and Star.
Pregnancy brings remarkable and necessary changes to the body. As your baby grows, posture shifts, the pelvis adapts, and the nervous system works continuously to coordinate movement, balance, and function.
Prenatal chiropractic care is designed to support these changes—not fight against them. At Serendipity Chiropractic, care is thoughtful, gentle, and guided by experience, with the goal of supporting comfort, balance, and adaptability throughout pregnancy.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care Guided by Experience
Dr. Julie Restad has over 20 years of clinical experience caring for expectant mothers and families.
Her professional training is complemented by personal experience with pregnancy and two amazing home births. In her 20+ years in practice, she has extensive hands-on care for newborns, infants, and children — including minutes after birth.
This depth of experience shapes every visit. Care is calm, attentive, and responsive, with a clear understanding of how the pregnant body changes and what it needs for support.
Why Chiropractic Care Can Be Helpful During Pregnancy
As pregnancy progresses, changes in posture, weight distribution, and ligament flexibility can place added stress on the spine and pelvis. These changes may contribute to discomfort in the lower back, hips, pelvis, or surrounding areas.
Prenatal chiropractic care helps support:
• Pelvic balance and mobility
• Healthy joint movement
• Nervous system communication
• Reduced physical strain as the body adapts
The goal is not to “correct” pregnancy, but to support how the body is designed to change and respond during this season.
Pelvic Balance and Preparation for Birth
The pelvis is designed to move and adapt during pregnancy and birth. As the body changes, the joints of the pelvis, sacrum, and hips respond to shifts in posture, weight distribution, and ligament flexibility. When these joints move well and the surrounding tissues remain balanced, the body can better accommodate the physical demands of pregnancy and the process of labor.
Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on supporting this natural balance and mobility. By addressing areas of tension or restricted movement, care helps reduce unnecessary strain and support efficient pelvic function. This approach allows the body to adapt and move as it was designed to during this important season.
The Webster Technique®
The Webster Technique® is a pregnancy-specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that supports pelvic balance and helps reduce tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Chiropractors with additional training in prenatal chiropractic care commonly use this gentle approach. The technique avoids forceful adjustments and is adapted to the changing needs of the pregnant body.
The Webster Technique® is sometimes misunderstood as a method used to “turn” a baby. Rather, it focuses on the mother’s pelvis and surrounding structures, with the goal of supporting balance and mobility as the body adapts throughout pregnancy.
Rather than serving as a single adjustment or outcome-based method, the Webster Technique® is best understood as one part of an individualized approach to prenatal chiropractic care. When appropriate, it may support comfort, mobility, and balance during pregnancy.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
When provided by a chiropractor trained in prenatal chiropractic care, chiropractic care is considered safe for most expectant mothers.
Prenatal chiropractic adjustments are gentle and adapted to each stage of pregnancy. Positioning, technique, and pacing are chosen with comfort and safety in mind, and care is individualized to each patient’s needs.
Many expectant mothers appreciate care that supports comfort and movement while respecting the body’s natural changes during pregnancy. Questions are encouraged, and care decisions are made collaboratively.
Care for Pregnancy, Postpartum, and the Entire Family
Care does not end with birth. Postpartum chiropractic care can support recovery as the body adjusts after delivery and adapts to new physical demands.
Serendipity Chiropractic also provides gentle chiropractic care for infants and children, supporting nervous system function from the earliest stages of life. Many families value the continuity of care as their needs evolve over time.
