Written and medically reviewed by Dr. Gerry Nastasia, DC, DABCO, DIANM — Last reviewed: June 2026
When you’re pregnant, the structures and tissues of your body can experience a great deal of strain and stress due to issues like your shifting center of gravity and growing uterus. While traditional allopathic medicine can’t offer much in the way of relief, chiropractic care is a drug-free approach that has been shown to be safe for both expecting mom and baby.

Why Pregnancy Causes Back and Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy places significant strain on the body. As the uterus grows, your center of gravity shifts forward, changing your posture and increasing the load carried by your lower back and pelvis. At the same time, the body’s normal hormonal changes during pregnancy loosen the ligaments that support the spine and pelvis, preparing the body for childbirth — which can also contribute to joint strain and instability.
This combination of postural change, added weight, and ligament changes is why so many women experience back, hip, or pelvic discomfort at some point during pregnancy.
Our Approach to Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Dr. Gerry Nastasia has over 36 years of experience providing chiropractic care to pregnant patients, using safe, gentle techniques tailored to each woman’s specific needs at this stage of life. Care is never one-size-fits-all — every treatment plan is built around a thorough history, a detailed mechanical assessment, and a clear explanation of what’s found before any treatment begins.
Along with customized chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Gerry may recommend massage therapy to help relieve pain, relax strained tissues, support optimal pelvic mechanics ahead of birth, and restore normal function to joints under stress from the growing uterus.
What to Expect at Your Pregnancy Consultation
Your first visit starts with a complete history and a thorough mechanical assessment, so Dr. Gerry fully understands what’s going on before recommending anything. He’ll explain everything he finds, talk through your options, and get your informed consent before any treatment begins.
From there, your care plan is built specifically around you — whether that means chiropractic adjustments, pregnancy massage, a support brace, postural guidance, or some combination of these — always adapted to keep you and your baby comfortable and safe.
