Prenatal Chiropractor in Surprise, AZ

Prenatal chiropractor in Surprise, AZ for the back pain, hip pain, and pelvic discomfort that come with pregnancy. Dr. Derek M. Legg adjusts pregnant patients gently, with support for your belly and pressure adapted to each trimester, and he coordinates with your OB or midwife. The goal is your comfort and your mobility through pregnancy, and every visit is adapted to where you are.

Is Chiropractic Safe During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is generally considered safe during pregnancy when it is performed by a trained chiropractor who adapts to your body. Tell us you are pregnant and we change everything to suit it: a table and pillows that support your belly, gentler pressure, and positions that keep you comfortable. If anything about your pregnancy is high risk, we ask you to check with your OB or midwife first, and we are glad to coordinate with them.

What Prenatal Chiropractic Helps With

Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity and loosens the ligaments, and that often shows up as back pain, hip and pelvic pain, and sciatica and radiating pain down a leg. Gentle adjustments and soft tissue work may ease that discomfort and help you move more easily. We are honest that results vary, and the aim is to keep you comfortable and mobile, not to promise a particular outcome. See the full list of conditions we treat.

Gentle Pelvic Balance During Pregnancy

A gentle, specific pelvic adjustment can help balance the pelvis and ease the tension in the muscles and ligaments that support the uterus, and many pregnant patients simply find it more comfortable. Pelvic adjustments are sometimes brought up in connection with a breech baby, and it is important to be clear: they do not turn a baby. What they may do is reduce tension in the pelvis so there is more room, and any decision about a breech presentation belongs with your OB or midwife. Dr. Legg works with your birth team, not around them.

How We Adjust During Pregnancy

Everything is adapted. We use a table and pillows made to support a pregnant belly, we adjust with lighter force or a handheld instrument instead of a strong twist, and we position you so you are never uncomfortable. Dr. Legg explains each step, and if a position does not feel right for you, we change it. Nothing is forced, and you are always in control of the visit.

Insurance and Cost

We accept most major insurance plans for chiropractic care, and we verify your benefits and quote any cost in writing before your visit. Medicare rarely applies during pregnancy, but for completeness. We do not take X-rays during pregnancy unless there is a compelling medical reason and your OB agrees. More detail is on our insurance page.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Your first visit is a consultation and a gentle examination suited to pregnancy, followed by care when it is appropriate. Dr. Legg asks about your pregnancy, your due date, and anything your OB or midwife has flagged, and he builds a plan around your trimester. New self-pay patients can start with the $49 first visit, and more detail on the day is on the first visit page. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Thursday.

Prenatal Chiropractic: Common Questions

Is it safe in every trimester?

Care is adapted to each trimester, and it is generally considered safe when performed by a trained chiropractor. If your pregnancy is high risk, we ask you to clear it with your OB or midwife first, and we coordinate with them.

Can a chiropractic adjustment turn a breech baby?

Possibly. A gentle pelvic adjustment may reduce tension and create more room and possibly put your baby in a better position.

Will you take X-rays while I am pregnant?

No, not unless there is a compelling medical reason and your OB agrees. We avoid imaging during pregnancy.

Do I need a referral?

No. Arizona allows you to see a chiropractor directly, and we are happy to coordinate with your OB or midwife.
