Pregnancy Chiropractic in Abbotsford
Pregnancy is remarkable, and it can also come with back pain, pelvic discomfort, and questions about what’s ok. At Abbotsford Family Chiropractic, Dr. Wanda Nyvall provides gentle, non-invasive, drug-free prenatal care to help you feel and function better.
As a Torque Release Technique® (TRT®) practitioner and Webster certified chiropractor, Dr. Nyvall adjusts the mother’s spine and pelvis, not the baby. You’ll find a calm environment, clear explanations, and care tailored to your changing body.
How Our Prenatal Care Works
Your visit begins with a pregnancy-specific assessment and individual screening. Dr. Nyvall uses TRT (an advanced, instrument-assisted method using the Integrator™) to deliver quick, precise, low-force adjustments that support nervous system function. When appropriate, she may use gentle, sustained-contact finger adjustments with the same light touch used for infants.
Potential Benefits During Pregnancy and Postpartum
While results vary and no guarantees are made, moms often report meaningful improvements with chiropractic care. Research and experience suggest chiropractic may be associated with:
- Better pelvic alignment and balance
- More room in the womb for baby (via improved pelvic/hip alignment)
- Reduced back pain and “back labour”
- Lower need for pain medication during labour
- Shorter labour times
- Postpartum: more comfortable breastfeeding
Moms Trust Our Gentle, Evidence-Informed Approach
Our approach is used during pregnancy, and adverse events are very rare. Dr. Nyvall explains and demonstrates the gentle instrument so you can feel how light it is. A hospital study associated prenatal chiropractic with a 50% decrease in the need for painkillers during delivery. Simple analogies, like “closing the safety pin,” make chiropractic easy to understand.
