Chiropractic Care for Prenatal Pain
Pregnancy brings major changes to the body, often leading to discomfort in the lower back, pelvis, and hips. As the baby grows and posture shifts, many women experience added tension, instability, or nerve irritation that can affect sleep, mobility, and overall well-being.
Epic Life Chiropractic in Wauwatosa offers gentle, effective care tailored to support women during pregnancy. Dr. Jeff Grosskopf uses a neurologically based approach with techniques that are safe for both mom and baby. Our focus is on improving balance in the spine and nervous system to help you feel more comfortable throughout every stage of pregnancy.
Our Prenatal Pain Treatment Approach
Epic Life Chiropractic is known for a care model built on precision, comfort, and results. We specialize in identifying hidden spinal stress and treating it through safe, noninvasive methods. The main technique we use is the Torque Release Technique, supported by MyoVision scanning and digital motion X-rays.
Torque Release Technique (TRT)
Accurate and Gentle
TRT uses the Integrator, a handheld instrument that delivers a precise adjustment with minimal pressure. This allows for care that is both comfortable and effective, especially during pregnancy.
Supports Nervous System Function
By aligning the spine and reducing nerve tension, TRT improves communication between the brain and body. This can ease common pregnancy-related discomforts and support overall wellness.
Safe for Pregnancy
Our technique is ideal for expectant mothers seeking natural relief. There is no twisting or cracking involved, making it a great option throughout all trimesters.
Relieves Common Pregnancy Discomforts
TRT is effective for pelvic pain, lower back aches, sciatica, and postural stress as the body changes during pregnancy.
MyoVision Scanning
MyoVision scanning allows us to measure muscular tension and nerve interference in real-time. This helps us understand how pregnancy is affecting your spine and nervous system, and it gives us a safe and accurate baseline to guide care.
We use this data to track your progress and ensure your body is responding well to treatment. The scan is completely safe for pregnant women and offers insight that many other providers overlook.
Common Pregnancy Discomforts We Treat
Pelvic and Hip Pain
As the body adapts to pregnancy, shifts in posture and ligament looseness can cause discomfort. Our care helps realign the spine and reduce tension.
Sciatica
Many women experience sciatic nerve pain that radiates through the hip or leg. We gently relieve the pressure contributing to this irritation.
Lower Back Pain
As the center of gravity changes, added stress is placed on the lower spine. Our adjustments ease this strain and support better posture.
Round Ligament Pain
This sharp pain in the abdomen is common during pregnancy. Our approach improves pelvic balance and reduces muscle pulling.
General Discomfort and Fatigue
By supporting spinal and nerve health, chiropractic care helps expecting mothers feel more comfortable and energized.
Activities Benefiting from Our Treatment
Prenatal chiropractic care helps with sleep, walking, standing, and preparing for delivery. Our patients include first-time moms, women with past pregnancies, and those under midwife or OB care who want extra support for their changing bodies.
