Understanding Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy changes posture, balance, and the way your muscles and ligaments work. Prenatal chiropractic care gently supports the pelvis, spine, and ligaments so your body can move and rest with less strain as your baby grows.
Dr. Eileen Denny is ICA board‑certified in pediatric and prenatal chiropractic—the only practitioner with this credential in New Haven County—providing safe, gentle, pregnancy‑specific care for moms in Hamden, CT and surrounding towns.

Your Prenatal Visits, Step by Step
Your visit begins with a conversation about how you’re feeling, followed by a pregnancy‑specific exam of posture, movement, and pelvic balance. Dr. Denny uses pregnancy‑safe tables, belly‑support cushions, gentle low‑force prenatal adjustments, and soft‑tissue work where you need it. You leave with practical home tips to support comfort between visits.
How you’re feeling: We review your pregnancy so far, where you feel discomfort, and any notes from your OB or midwife.
Pregnancy‑specific exam: Posture, mobility, and pelvic balance assessed on pregnancy‑safe equipment.
Review of findings: We explain what we found and how it relates to your symptoms, then outline a plan matched to your trimester and goals.
Gentle care begins: Low‑force, trimester‑appropriate adjustments, soft‑tissue work, myofascial work, breathing and mobility support, and home tips for comfort.

How Prenatal Chiropractic Supports Pelvic Balance
Many moms search for the Webster Technique — a gentle, pregnancy‑specific chiropractic method that reduces tension in the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding ligaments. Webster is one of several pelvic‑balancing techniques that help your body move and function more comfortably as your baby grows.
Webster and Pelvic Balancing are not baby‑turning techniques.
Webster and Pelvic Balancing Techniques Do Help With :
-
Pelvic and low‑back discomfort
-
Round‑ligament tension
-
Sacral and SI joint mobility
-
Easier, more comfortable movement
-
Reduced stress on hips and lower back
-
They’re especially helpful as hormonal and postural changes create pelvic imbalance and discomfort.
