Pregnancy Chiropractic in Indianapolis
A Gentler Way Through Pregnancy
Carrying new life is beautiful, but it’s also demanding on your body. Shifting hormones, a changing center of gravity, and new weight through your hips and low back ask a great deal of you in a short time. Many moms describe this season as overwhelming, even when everything is going well. We want you to feel cared for and truly heard through every trimester. Our Indianapolis chiropractor, Dr. Christian Amonett, D.C., known to patients as Dr. Blake, takes time to discuss your discomfort, answer questions, and explain your options.
What Pregnancy Chiropractic Care Looks Like
Prenatal care at Amonett Chiropractic focuses on musculoskeletal discomfort and movement as your body changes. Dr. Blake uses the Gonstead method to assess the spine and pelvis, with recommendations based on your symptoms and examination. In the first two trimesters, a visit may look similar to a standard appointment, with adaptations for your needs. In the third trimester, he typically changes positioning to accommodate your growing belly and comfort, using options such as side-lying rather than standard face-down positioning. Your stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances guide those choices.
Comfort as Your Body Changes
You might seek an assessment for:
- Low back or pelvic discomfort
- Stiffness that makes changing position uncomfortable
- Musculoskeletal tension during daily activities
- Questions about movement and posture as your belly grows
Care aims to address relevant joint and soft-tissue findings. We’ll also ask how discomfort affects your rest and routine, so your priorities are part of the discussion.
Webster Technique and Round Ligament Work
Dr. Blake uses the Webster technique, drawing on training in its methods. This approach assesses the sacrum and pelvis and addresses related joint and soft-tissue tension. He has received training in these techniques but does not hold Webster certification. He may also use round ligament work, involving gentle soft-tissue techniques intended to address tension around the ligaments supporting the uterus. Each recommendation considers your presentation and comfort.
Webster care focuses on the mother’s musculoskeletal function. It does not involve turning or “flipping” a baby or promising a particular birth outcome. If another provider would better meet your needs, Dr. Blake will discuss a referral. Chiropractic care is offered alongside, rather than in place of, care from your obstetrician or midwife.
