Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Charlotte
Are you pregnant and dealing with aches and pains? Pregnancy brings a ton of changes to your body. As your body grows your child and prepares for birth, it needs to move things around to make space. The movement, additional weight, and added fluids can easily throw off your musculoskeletal alignment leading to pains and aches.
How it works
What to expect with prenatal chiropractic care
- Step 1
Pregnancy-focused consultation & exam
We review your health history and stage of pregnancy, then assess your spinal and pelvic alignment with a gentle exam adapted for expecting mothers.
- Step 2
A trimester-appropriate care plan
Dr. Schulman recommends a plan matched to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level, adapting techniques and positioning as your body changes from month to month.

The basics
About prenatal chiropractic care
Prenatal chiropractic care is gentle, pregnancy-specific chiropractic treatment designed for expecting mothers. Techniques and positioning are adapted for each stage of pregnancy and always avoid pressure on the abdomen, focusing instead on the spine and pelvis — the areas that carry the most change as your baby grows.
Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity, adds weight to the low back, and releases hormones that loosen ligaments throughout the pelvis. Those changes make misalignments more common, which is why so many expecting mothers deal with low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort. Gentle, specific adjustments may relieve that discomfort by restoring balanced alignment as your body changes.
At Chiropractic Fitness in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Craig Schulman uses pregnancy-safe methods such as the Webster Technique and tailors every visit to your stage of pregnancy and comfort level. Expecting moms visit us from across south Charlotte and the surrounding area.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care is very safe during pregnancy and highly recommended. We focus on gentle, specific adjustments that help reduce pain and improve spinal function. Many women find chiropractic care helpful in relieving morning sickness, reducing back and neck pain, and improving overall health.
Since chiropractic care is natural and noninvasive, you can be thankful to avoid any medications or surgeries to help alleviate your aches and pains.
Chiropractors focus on spinal health, which directly impacts the nervous system. When your body is going through all the changes during pregnancy, it puts a lot of pressure on your spine and misaligned vertebrae is very common. With gentle adjustments, we focus on keeping your spine aligned, hips in place, and promoting natural healing and processing during your entire pregnancy. This minimized aches and pains that you would experience otherwise.
Why should I have chiropractic care during pregnancy?
Women experience a lot of body changes during pregnancy which can cause a lot of pressure on the spinal column. Our chiropractic team wants you to enjoy the experience of being pregnant with minimal pain and discomfort while keeping your baby safe and developing properly.
By seeing a chiropractor throughout your pregnancy, you are promoting natural healing, relieving tensions on nerves, and allowing your body to change to support the pregnancy without causing you more pain and discomfort than is necessary.
Chiropractic care is a safe and healthy way to approach your prenatal health. There is no downside to chiropractic care and plenty of upsides. We want you to feel your best during this important time in your life.
Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor while Pregnant
Spinal health is extremely important during all stages of life, but pregnancy brings its own set of challenges to your body that requires extra care. Seeing a chiropractor during your pregnancy is going to help minimize symptoms that you’ll experience and keep you on the path to optimal spinal health.
Common symptoms that Chiropractors can help with during pregnancy include:
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Ligament pain
- Morning sickness
- Breech babies
- Pelvis and sacrum pain
- Length of labor
During pregnancy, your body is much more susceptible to subluxations and misalignments in your joints. All the changes and additional pressure can cause a lot of issues. You’ll benefit greatly by seeing a chiropractor during your pregnancy and beyond.

“Definitely recommend him 100%”
“Quick service. Extremely nice and professional.”
“I came into Dr. Schulman's office with severe sciatica pain, heel pain on right, and such a tight neck that I couldn't sleep at night from throbbing aches and pains. Now that I've been seeing Dr. Schulman for 3 months now, I'm running with my dogs again, and getting back into the gym without any back or neck pain. Best decision I ever made for self care! Highly recommend!”
