Pregnancy Chiropractic in Jacksonville
Aches, sciatica, or pelvic pressure can make pregnancy more difficult than it needs to be. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Phil Scheets offers gentle prenatal chiropractic to help expecting mothers stay comfortable throughout each trimester.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Prenatal chiropractic focuses on balancing the spine and pelvis to ease strain on muscles, ligaments, and joints. Dr. Scheets often uses the Webster Technique, a pregnancy-specific approach designed to promote pelvic balance and reduce soft-tissue tension so the baby has more space to settle head-down. Many mothers notice:
- Less back, hip, or pelvic pain
- Improved daily comfort and mobility
- Baby is more likely to rest in an optimal position
- Fewer issues with in utero constraint or breech
- Smoother labor and delivery experiences reported
Training, Comfort, and What to Expect
Dr. Scheets trained directly with Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the Webster Technique, and personally saw the difference when his own daughter shifted from a transverse lie after Dr. Webster adjusted her mother—an experience that still informs his care.
Each visit is designed with comfort in mind, using pregnancy pillows and an adjusting table that adapts to a growing belly. At your first appointment, we’ll review your health history and prior imaging, check alignment, discuss your goals, and provide a gentle adjustment if appropriate. From there, you’ll receive a plan tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe while pregnant?
Yes. Dr. Scheets has adjusted expecting mothers for decades, including during his own family’s pregnancies. Each adjustment is gentle and appropriate for your stage, with contraindications ruled out before care.
How often should I come in?
Frequency depends on your needs. Early in pregnancy, visits every two weeks often work well. Later, weekly care may be recommended, and Webster Technique cases may begin with three consecutive visits.
