Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Newport News, Virginia: Support for the Aches, Alignment, and Anxiety of Pregnancy

Dr. Keitza Garavito, a prenatal and family chiropractor in Newport News, VA, gently supports a pregnant patient during a chiropractic session.

Hi! I’m Dr. Keitza Garavito, a certified prenatal chiropractor, Webster Technique provider, and BirthFit leader here in Newport News, VA! 💜

So… Why in The World Would You Get a Chiropractic Adjustment during pregnancy?

Well, let’s start here: just because it’s common for pregnant moms to experience aches and pains doesn’t mean it’s normal. Chiropractic care during this sacred time can help you move through all the major changes pregnancy and postpartum bring with more ease and support.

Pregnancy transforms your body. As it prepares to welcome a new life, those changes can create physical stress. Long hours sitting at work or home, past injuries that resurface, and rapid weight shifts can trigger muscular tension and alter your center of gravity. This can affect how you sit, stand, walk, and even rest and making it very uncomfortable.

So, How Does Prenatal Chiropractic Care Supports Your Body Through The Changes of Pregnancy? 

With intentional movement, exercises, bodywork, and prenatal chiropractic care✨.

When you visit a prenatal-certified chiropractor or Webster Technique provider, you’ll notice we focus deeply on the pelvis and sacrum. We check that bone structures are properly aligned, muscles are engaged (but not too tight), and ligaments are supporting you…not working against you.

We help restore balance to the biomechanics of the pelvis and spine, release tight muscles like the psoas and piriformis, and reduce tension that shows up when the body tries to compensate for posture changes. We work with the round ligaments (those sharp belly pains when you move too quickly), and we check the tailbone and pubic bone, which can become sore due to misalignment or baby’s position.

We also assess your full spine to reduce restrictions and improve communication between your brain and nervous system by addressing any subluxations (misalignments that may be putting pressure on your nerves).

So yes, beyond helping relieve tension, improving range of motion, and supporting your body’s alignment, we help you THRIVE✨ through pregnancy, set you up for a smoother postpartum recovery, and support your baby’s optimal environment along the way.
