Pregnancy Care
Safety Comes First at Every Stage of Pregnancy
Pregnancy changes your posture, your center of balance, and how your joints and ligaments move, which is exactly why care during pregnancy should never be treated as a smaller version of regular chiropractic care. At Blue Ridge Health Chiropractic, Dr. Robert Maurer evaluates every expectant mother individually, taking into account your pregnancy history, your current stage, and how you are feeling that day before recommending any adjustment. Positioning and technique are adapted for comfort and for the changes your body is going through, and the pace of care is set by you, not by a fixed routine.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is meant to work alongside your prenatal medical care, not replace it. Dr. Maurer encourages every expectant mother to stay in contact with her OB or midwife throughout care, and he is glad to communicate about your care plan if your provider would like that context.
- Adjustments modified for the postural and balance changes of pregnancy
- Positioning on the table adapted for comfort at every stage of pregnancy
- Every visit starts with how you are feeling that day, not a fixed protocol
- Care intended to complement your OB or midwife's prenatal care, not replace it

Common Reasons Expectant Mothers Seek Care
As pregnancy progresses, the added weight and shifting center of gravity place new demands on the low back, hips, and pelvis. Many of the expectant mothers who visit Blue Ridge Health Chiropractic in Greenville are looking for a gentle way to stay ahead of the discomfort that can come with those changes, rather than waiting until it becomes hard to manage.

What to Expect at a Pregnancy Chiropractic Visit
Your first pregnancy visit starts with a conversation, not an adjustment. Dr. Maurer will ask about your pregnancy history, your current stage, any symptoms you are dealing with, and any guidance your OB or midwife has already given you. From there, he performs an exam that looks at your posture, movement, and the areas where you are feeling discomfort, and explains what he finds in plain language before recommending anything.
If a gentle, pregnancy-appropriate adjustment is a good fit for where you are, Dr. Maurer will walk you through what to expect before making any adjustment, and the visit is paced to your comfort throughout. You are never obligated to continue care after a first visit, and you are always welcome to loop your prenatal provider in on what we discussed.
