Pregnancy Chiropractic
in Winston-Salem
Pregnancy is a special season, but it can bring aching hips, a tired low back, and worry about labor and delivery. At Erickson Clinic of Chiropractic, you’ll find gentle, specific chiropractic care to help you stay as comfortable and mobile as possible while supporting a healthy birth.
Dr. Rick Erickson has decades of experience caring for pregnant women and is known for being thorough, kind, and easy to talk with.
What to Expect from Prenatal Chiropractic
Prenatal chiropractic focuses on aligning the spine and pelvis so your nervous system and body can work at their best throughout pregnancy. Adjustments are very gentle, highly specific, and most patients say they feel good and relaxing. Dr. Erickson uses a special knee chest table with room for your belly, so you can lie comfortably without pressure on your abdomen. When a breech-turning Webster-style technique is needed, he’ll refer you to a chiropractor who specializes in that, while continuing to support you with general prenatal care.

How Prenatal Chiropractic Helps
When your spine and pelvis move the way they’re meant to, everyday activities and birth itself often feel easier. Prenatal chiropractic care can help with:
- Lower back, hip, and pelvic discomfort
- Sciatica leg symptoms and tight musclesy
- Postural strain as your baby grows
- Difficulty getting comfortable for sleep
- Supporting smoother labor and delivery
When to Start Care—Before and During Pregnancy
The ideal time to start is before you’re pregnant, so Dr. Erickson can perform a complete exam and, when appropriate, X-rays to find long-standing misalignments. Correcting these areas in advance can make carrying a baby more comfortable. There is benefit to beginning care at any stage, even in the third trimester.
Whole-Person Support for Expectant Moms
As you improve, Dr. Erickson teaches simple stretches and exercises you can safely do at home and offers common-sense nutrition guidance and foundational supplement suggestions, coordinating with your other providers whenever needed.
