Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body—many of them uncomfortable. From back pain and sciatica to hip and joint tension, it’s no wonder expecting mothers often seek relief. At Heiss Chiropractic, our prenatal chiropractic care in Lincoln, NE offers gentle, pregnancy‑safe spinal and pelvic adjustments tailored to the changes your body undergoes. As your body adapts to the growing baby, your spine and pelvis shift — prenatal chiropractic helps maintain alignment, relieve stress on joints, and support healthy posture throughout pregnancy.

How Our Care Plan Works
1. Find The Root Cause
We begin with a detailed consultation, examination, and X-rays when needed to understand exactly what is causing your pain or dysfunction. We will identify the underlying structural, muscular, and neurological issues affecting your health.
2. Restore Proper Movement With Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and joint motion, reduce pressure on nerves, and help your body function the way it was designed to. When your spine and nervous system work properly, your body can heal and perform better.
3. Accelerate Healing With SoftWave TRT
SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic wave technology to improve circulation, activate healing cells, reduce inflammation, and repairs tissue. This therapy is helpful for chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, joint problems, and patients who feel like they’ve “tried everything.”
4. Relieve Pressure With Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
For patients dealing with disc problems, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or chronic neck and back pain, spinal decompression gently stretches and unloads the spine. This can help reduce pressure on discs and nerves while promoting healing and function.
5. Help You Stay Healthy Long-Term
Our goal is not just temporary relief; we want to help you stay active and healthy long-term so you can continue doing the things you love with confidence.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Pregnancy
As your body prepares for birth, the center of gravity shifts forward, adding extra strain on the lower back, hips, and pelvis. This natural progression leads to an increased curve in the lower spine (lordosis), which puts stress on joints like the sacrum and vertebrae.
These changes can lead to:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatic nerve irritation
- Hip discomfort
- Muscle tension and fatigue
The spine is also home to nerve bundles that travel throughout the body. When the spinal alignment is disrupted during pregnancy, these nerves can become compressed or irritated—leading to pain that travels from the lower back into the legs, or even affecting posture and mobility.
Sciatica and Pregnancy
One of the most common issues we treat in pregnant patients is sciatica. The sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower spine down the backs of both legs, can become compressed due to misalignment or extra pressure during pregnancy. This can lead to:
- Sharp pain in the hips or buttocks
- Numbness or tingling in the legs
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sleeping
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe, drug-free way to ease this pressure and restore comfort.
Postpartum Support
After giving birth, many new moms experience ongoing discomfort. Activities like nursing, bending, and lifting a baby can put even more strain on the spine and pelvis. Chiropractic care can help you realign after delivery, speed up recovery, and support your body through the physical demands of new motherhood.
