- Your center of gravity shifts. As your belly grows, your weight moves forward. This puts extra pressure on your lower back, hips, and pelvis.
Pregnancy & Webster Technique Care in Suwanee, GA
If you're expectant mother and searching for supportive chiropractic care, welcome.
Pregnancy is a beautiful season, but it asks a lot of your body. As your baby grows, your posture shifts, your joints loosen, and your lower back and hips often take on new strain. At Suwanee Family Chiropractic, Dr. Laura Russo, DC, offers gentle, drug-free prenatal care designed to help you feel more comfortable and balanced through every trimester.
Certified in the Webster Technique
Prenatal care calls for special training, and Dr. Russo has it. She is Webster Technique certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), with focused education in caring for expecting mothers.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment created to balance the pelvis during pregnancy. It's not a forceful or high-impact approach. Instead, it uses light, precise care to ease tension and support alignment—so you can move through your days with greater comfort.
How pregnancy affects your spine & pelvis
Your body works hard to adapt as your baby grows, and those changes can create real discomfort.
- Your ligaments loosen. Pregnancy hormones relax the ligaments around your joints to prepare for birth. That flexibility is helpful, but it can also leave your pelvis and lower spine less stable.
- Your posture changes. These shifts often lead to lower back aches, hip tension, pelvic pressure, and sometimes sciatic discomfort that travels down the leg.
These changes are completely normal. The good news is that you don't have to simply grit your teeth and push through them.
Care That Continues After Baby Arrives
Your body keeps changing after delivery, too. The postnatal period brings its own physical demands—from carrying and feeding your newborn to recovering from the changes of pregnancy and birth.
Postnatal chiropractic care can help you ease back tension, support your posture as you adjust to new movements, and feel more comfortable during those busy early months. Whenever you're ready, we're here to support your recovery with the same gentle, personalized approach.
The Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care:
Gentle chiropractic care during pregnancy is about helping you feel your best while your body does its important work. Many expecting mothers find that regular care can help:
- Ease lower back pain caused by shifting weight and posture
- Relieve hip discomfort and pelvic pressure
- Reduce sciatic tension that radiates into the legs
- Support pelvic balance as your body changes
- Improve everyday comfort and mobility so you can stay active
Every pregnancy is different, so Dr. Russo tailors your care to how you're feeling and what your body needs. Our goal is to support you with safe, gentle methods—never to promise a one-size-fits-all outcome.
What to Expect During Your Session

- Gentle, low-force adjustments. The Webster Technique uses light, precise pressure to help balance the sacrum—no twisting and no high-impact movements.
- Soft tissue care. Dr. Russo also evaluates and gently releases tension in the round ligaments, which often contributes to pelvic and lower belly discomfort.
