Integrative Support for Pregnancy

Prenatal Treatment Options at Anatomica

Pregnancy can bring a wide range of physical and emotional changes, many of which benefit from a supportive and individualized approach to care. At Anatomica, our integrative team of manual and natural health practitioners offers safe, gentle, and effective treatment options to help relieve discomfort, support healthy function, and improve overall well-being throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Our prenatal care services are guided by current clinical research, with careful attention to positioning, practitioner qualifications, and the unique needs of each pregnant patient. We work collaboratively across disciplines to ensure that care is not only effective, but also respectful, inclusive, and comfortable.

Osteopathy for Pelvic Health

Osteopaths with specialized training offer prenatal care and (external) pelvic health treatments. This gentle, hands-on approach focuses on improving alignment, mobility, and the function of structures throughout the body. During pregnancy, osteopathy can help ease many common concerns, including low back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, rib restriction, and changes in posture.

Treatments are always adapted to the changing physiology of pregnancy and performed by experienced practitioners with specialized training in prenatal care. Attention is given to safe and supported positioning, with techniques designed to accommodate each trimester while supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal.

Webster Technique Chiropractic Care

The Webster Technique is a specific prenatal chiropractic adjustment that targets pelvic alignment and soft tissue balance. By reducing tension in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the pelvis, this technique may help create more space and ease for both the patient and the growing baby. When the pelvis is well-aligned, there is a reduced likelihood of intrauterine constraint, and many patients report improvements in comfort and mobility.

This technique is provided by a chiropractor with certification in the Webster Technique, ensuring that care is tailored specifically to the needs and safety of pregnant individuals.

Massage Therapy for Pregnancy-Related Discomfort

Registered massage therapists with training in prenatal care can provide safe, effective relief for many of the physical complaints that arise during pregnancy. These may include swelling in the legs and feet, muscle tension, joint pain, and headaches. Massage can also support better sleep and reduce stress levels by calming the nervous system.

Sessions are conducted with proper bolstering and positioning to ensure comfort and safety, and all treatments are adjusted to suit each stage of pregnancy.

Acupuncture and Naturopathic Support

Our naturopathic doctor and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners offer holistic prenatal care that includes nutrition guidance, herbal support when appropriate, and acupuncture. These services can be especially helpful for managing symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, constipation, heartburn, and fluid retention.

Acupuncture during pregnancy is considered safe when provided by trained professionals. It may also help regulate sleep, reduce anxiety, and support energy levels. Our team ensures that all treatments are coordinated with your broader healthcare plan, with open communication between practitioners and patients at every step.
