Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Dumont
Pregnancy asks a lot of your back and hips. Our prenatal care is low-force, comfortably positioned, and shaped around exactly where you are, so you can move and rest a little easier.
Prenatal chiropractic care is gentle, low-force care shaped around a changing body. As posture and weight shift through pregnancy, the low back, hips, and pelvis take on new strain. Careful adjustments and comfortable positioning help ease that strain, so you can move, sleep, and rest more comfortably through every trimester and after birth.
Pregnancy changes how your body carries weight, and the low back and pelvis feel it first. Prenatal chiropractic care is one gentle way to stay more comfortable through it. Here is what the care is, who it is for, how it can help, and exactly what a visit looks like.
Who is prenatal chiropractic care for?
It is for anyone feeling the aches of a changing body during pregnancy, or working to stay ahead of them. Care is always matched to the person in front of us, so it is gentle enough for a first pregnancy and familiar territory for parents who have been here before. Many people also come in during recovery after birth.
- Low back ache that builds through the day
- Hip and pelvic discomfort
- Sciatic-type aching down the leg
- Trouble getting comfortable to sleep
- Postpartum recovery and realignment
- Any trimester, whenever aches begin
- Early on, to stay ahead of the strain
- The busy third trimester, for comfort
- After birth, for recovery
- Whenever pregnancy starts reshaping your day
How can it help during pregnancy?
Prenatal care works on comfort and movement. Gentle adjustments help keep the joints of the low back, hips, and pelvis moving well as your body changes, which takes pressure off the tissue that is working overtime. Alongside the hands-on care, you get simple positioning and movement tips so the comfort holds between visits.
- Ease common low-back and pelvic aches that pregnancy tends to bring.
- Keep the hips and pelvis moving comfortably as your center of gravity shifts.
- Rest and sleep a little easier, with positions that take the load off.
- Gentle support after birth, as your body settles back.
Care is about comfort and movement, not promises. We will always give you an honest sense of whether it is helping and adjust as your pregnancy moves along.
What is a prenatal visit like?
We start with where you are
Your trimester, what is aching, how you are sleeping and moving. We listen first, every visit.
You are positioned comfortably
Pregnancy pillows and an adjusted table mean you are never lying on your belly. Comfort comes first.
Gentle, low-force care
Adjustments are matched to your body and your trimester. Light and specific, never forceful.
Simple tips to take home
A few positions and gentle stretches for between visits, so the comfort lasts.
Nearly half of pregnant people have low back pain by the third trimester, and it climbs steadily as pregnancy goes on. If your back is talking to you, you are in very good company, and it is one of the most common reasons parents come in.

“The doctors, the staff the entire team is exceptional! I highly recommend the back care center! Is a place where you walk in and you feel like at home they truly care about your health and well-being, if anyone has back issues please come here ! AMAZING I HAVE NO MORE PAIN !! THANK YOU!”
“I’ve had an excellent experience at The Back Center. I first came in with significant pain and several complications, but after just a couple of months, I’m feeling so much better and my back has improved tremendously. Dr. Schwartz is truly amazing—he takes his time to explain everything clearly and always makes sure I fully understand my treatment. I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received!”
“The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The doctors take their time assessing you and thoroughly inform you of their findings. My shoulder was bothering me since the spring. I started seeing Dr. Schwartz at the end of August and I’ve seen a huge improvement. Almost back to normal.”
Prenatal Chiropractic Care FAQ: Dumont
For most people with a healthy pregnancy, gentle prenatal chiropractic care has a strong safety record, and adjustments are especially low-force and carefully positioned. Your first visit includes a thorough history so care is matched to you, and we are happy to coordinate with your OB or midwife. If anything suggests you should be seen medically first, we will tell you.
Any of them. Some parents start early to stay ahead of the aches, others come in during the third trimester when comfort gets harder to find, and some begin after birth for recovery. There is no wrong time, and care is matched to wherever you are.
No. We use pregnancy pillows and an adjusted table so you stay comfortable and supported the whole time, never face down on your belly. Comfort and safe positioning come first, and we will walk you through it before anything begins.
Yes. The postpartum months ask a lot of your body too, from carrying and feeding to simply recovering. Gentle care can support that transition, and many parents keep coming in for a while after birth.
Completely. Many prenatal patients are brand new to chiropractic. Your first visit is mostly a conversation, we explain everything in plain language, and nothing happens until you are comfortable with it.
