Pregnancy Chiropractic in Sioux Falls

Thrive Through Every Trimester

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, exciting, overwhelming, uncomfortable, amazing experiences you’ll ever have. Your body is doing something miraculous—creating life—but that doesn’t mean it has to hurt. When your back aches, your pelvis feels misaligned, or you can barely sleep because nothing feels comfortable, it’s hard to enjoy these precious months.

Here’s something important: back pain during pregnancy is common, but it’s not normal. And the solution, while simple, isn’t always easy to find. That’s why we’re here. At Envive, we’ve helped countless mothers navigate pregnancy with less pain, easier labor, and better outcomes for both mom and baby. You deserve to feel good while growing your little one.

Why Pregnancy and Chiropractic Are a Perfect Match

Your body is changing at an incredible rate—adding pounds weekly, shifting your center of gravity, loosening ligaments, expanding your pelvis. All of this creates stress on your spine and nervous system. But here’s what really matters: your pelvis and your baby are directly connected through four ligaments (one on each pelvic wall) that attach to your uterus. When your pelvis is aligned and moving properly, baby has more room to get into optimal position. When baby is positioned well, labor tends to be shorter and easier.

Research backs this up. Studies show that chiropractic care during late-term pregnancy correlates with decreased labor time, easier deliveries, and better outcomes overall. We’re not just helping you feel more comfortable (though that’s wonderful)—we’re actually supporting your body’s natural ability to birth your baby.

Gentle, Effective Care for Every Stage

During your first and second trimesters, we typically recommend visits once or twice a month if you’re feeling good. Our goal is to address any issues before you enter the unpredictable third trimester. As you get closer to your due date—around 36 or 37 weeks—we usually see patients weekly to make sure everything’s aligned and ready for the big day.

Our approach is gentle, safe, and specifically adapted for pregnancy. We’re not Webster certified, but we use those techniques along with our standard care approach. Many of our expecting mothers tell us they feel relief right away—less back pain, better sleep, easier movement. And when labor day comes, they’re grateful their bodies were prepared and supported through the entire journey.

You’re Not Alone in Wanting a Natural Approach

If you’re someone who wants to avoid unnecessary medical interventions, you’re in the right place. We understand that desire to let your body do what it was designed to do, with support rather than interference. Our doctors bring personal experience too—Dr. Cole Snyder’s wife had four pregnancies resulting in four healthy children, three through home births, all while receiving regular chiropractic care.

We’re here to support your choices, whatever they may be. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth with all the medical support available, or you’re leaning toward a more holistic home birth experience, chiropractic care supports your body’s natural process. We’ll never judge your decisions—we’re here to empower them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Absolutely! Chiropractic care is gentle, non-invasive, and specifically adapted for pregnancy. Our doctors have extensive experience working with expecting mothers and understand exactly how to provide safe, effective care throughout all three trimesters.

When should I start chiropractic care during pregnancy?

The sooner, the better! Many women start in their first trimester, but it’s never too late to begin. Even if you’re in your third trimester and just learning about pregnancy chiropractic, we can still help you prepare for labor and find relief.

Will adjustments hurt my baby?

Not at all. Chiropractic adjustments focus on your spine and pelvis—nowhere near baby. In fact, when your pelvis is properly aligned, it creates more room for baby and helps them get into the best position for birth.

How can chiropractic care help with labor?

When your pelvis is balanced and moving properly, baby can descend more easily during labor. Research shows that women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy often experience shorter labor times and report easier deliveries overall.

Will my insurance cover pregnancy chiropractic care?

Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care during pregnancy, and we’re in-network with most major carriers. We’ll verify your coverage before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises.
