About This Service
About Our Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Dr. Flemming is certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment of the pelvis used throughout pregnancy to support pelvic balance and comfort.
Care is gentle and adapted to each trimester, using pregnancy-appropriate positioning so you are genuinely comfortable on the table right through to delivery. Many patients continue care postpartum as the body rebalances after delivery.
We also offer pregnancy massage with both of our licensed massage therapists, in any trimester, side-lying with pillows for comfort.

What We See Most
What Expecting Mothers Come In For

Sharp pulling sensations as ligaments stretch and loosen.
Sciatic Symptoms
Radiating leg pain brought on by pregnancy-related changes.
Pubic Symphysis Pain
Front pelvic pain that makes walking and rolling over difficult.

Our Approach
Comfort Through Every Trimester
Relaxin loosens your ligaments to prepare for delivery. That is necessary, and it also means your joints are far less stable than usual. Add a shifting centre of gravity and it is no surprise that so many pregnancies come with back and pelvic pain.
Prenatal chiropractic care works with those changes rather than against them — supporting pelvic balance so your body handles the load with less strain. We also care for infants and children, so many families simply continue with us after the baby arrives.
We are on North Garfield Avenue in Loveland, about 15 minutes from Fort Collins and 10 from Berthoud. New here?
