Pregnancy & Postpartum Chiropractic in Wichita, KS

You're growing a human being. Your body is shifting, stretching, and working harder than it ever has — and you deserve care that meets you in every stage of that journey.

At New Beginnings Chiropractic, we provide specialized prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care for moms in Wichita and the surrounding communities. Our doctors are Webster Certified through the International

Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), and Dr. Ashley Thompson holds the CACCP — a pediatric certification requiring 200+ hours of advanced training in pregnancy and pediatric care. She is the only practicing chiropractor in Wichita with this credential.

Whether you're in your first trimester, preparing for labor, or recovering from birth, our goal is the same: help your body feel balanced, supported, and strong.

Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Matters

Pregnancy changes everything about the way your body moves. Your center of gravity shifts forward, your pelvis widens, and the ligaments supporting your uterus stretch to accommodate your growing baby. These changes are natural — but they can create misalignments in the spine and pelvis that lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and added stress on your nervous system.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on maintaining proper pelvic alignment and spinal balance so your body can adapt more comfortably to each stage. When your pelvis is balanced, there's less constraint on the uterus, more room for your baby to move into an optimal position, and less strain on the muscles and ligaments that support your growing belly.

Many of the moms we care for tell us they experience less back pain, better sleep, and greater overall comfort throughout their pregnancies — and some report shorter, smoother labors as well.

How We Support You Through Every Trimester

Every pregnancy is different, and your care should reflect that. During your first visit, we take the time to understand your health history, your pregnancy goals, and any symptoms you're currently experiencing. From there, we create a personalized care plan that evolves with you as your body changes.

In the first trimester, care often focuses on establishing proper spinal and pelvic alignment early, helping your body adapt to hormonal and postural changes before discomfort sets in.

During the second and third trimesters, we address the increasing physical demands on your body — supporting pelvic balance, relieving tension in the round ligaments, and helping maintain comfort as your baby grows.

Our adjustments are gentle, safe, and specifically designed for pregnancy. We use specialized pregnancy pillows and positioning techniques so you can lie comfortably during every visit.

Our Approach — The Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment developed by the ICPA for pregnant women. It focuses on the sacrum — the triangular bone at the base of your spine — and its relationship to the pelvis, uterus, and surrounding ligaments.

When the sacrum is misaligned, it can create tension and constraint in the pelvis that affects your comfort and your baby's ability to move freely. The Webster Technique works to restore balance to these structures, supporting a more comfortable pregnancy and helping create the best possible environment for your baby's positioning.

All of our doctors are certified in the Webster Technique. 

Postpartum Recovery & Healing

Birth is one of the most physically demanding experiences your body will go through — and the weeks and months that follow bring their own set of challenges. Postpartum chiropractic care helps your body recover, realign, and regain strength after delivery.

Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your pelvis, spine, and supporting muscles have been through significant stress. Gentle postpartum adjustments can help address lingering back pain, pelvic instability, neck and shoulder tension from feeding positions, and the general fatigue that comes with caring for a newborn.

You took care of your body during pregnancy. Don't stop now.
