There’s nothing quite like the moment you find out you’re pregnant.
Whether it’s been a long-awaited positive test or a total surprise, your mind instantly kicks into high gear.
“Boy or girl?”
“Is my body ready for this?”
“Who do I tell first?”
“How are we going to announce it?”
“What about the nursery? Or school? Or college!?”
It’s wild how fast your brain can go from zero to one hundred.
Then come the opinions. The advice. The questions. The noise.
Take a deep breath. It’s going to be okay.
Actually, it can be so much better than okay.
Before you get lost in the to-do lists and the well-meaning (but overwhelming) advice, pause and ask yourself two powerful questions:
- What kind of pregnancy experience do I want?
- Who’s going to help me create that experience?
What Is Prenatal Chiropractic?
Prenatal chiropractic isn’t about “cracking backs.”
It’s about clearing stress and interference from your nervous system so your body can do what it was designed to do—carry and grow new life, regulate hormones, adapt to change, and prepare for birth.
At Wild Roots Chiropractic, we focus on Neurologically-Focused Prenatal Chiropractic, which means two things:
- 🔹 We adjust with intention: Every gentle, specific adjustment supports mom’s nervous system—not just her spine or posture.
- 🔹 We support your journey: Our care includes a safe space to ask hard questions, find trustworthy resources, and feel empowered through this life transition.
Why the Nervous System?
Your nervous system is your body’s master control system—regulating everything from digestion and sleep to hormones and fetal development.
During pregnancy, your nervous system does double duty: managing your own body and supporting the growth of another.
The parasympathetic nervous system—commonly called the “rest and digest” system—is also responsible for growth and development.
You cannot be in “growth mode” and “stress mode” at the same time.
Unfortunately, today’s world keeps many pregnant women in a state of chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
Let’s Talk About Stress (and Subluxation)
That stuck, anxious, short-fused, can’t-sleep, racing-thoughts feeling?
That’s your sympathetic nervous system on overdrive—“fight or flight” mode.
When you stay in that state too long, it may show up as:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Fatigue and insomnia
- Aches, pains, and tension
- Digestive challenges
- Baby not positioned well
- Increased risk of complications
This state is called subluxation—when stress disrupts communication between brain and body.
It’s not just a bone out of place—it’s a nervous system struggling to adapt.
And guess what? We can measure it.
Measuring Stress During Pregnancy with INSiGHT Scans + HRV
At Wild Roots, we don’t guess—we test.
We use cutting-edge technology to see how your nervous system is adapting to stress.
One of our most powerful tools is:
- HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
➤ A non-invasive scan that shows how balanced your autonomic nervous system is.
✅ Higher HRV = More resilient and adaptable nervous system
❌ Lower HRV = Body stuck in survival mode, needs help regulating
We also run:
- NeuroThermal scans
- NeuroEMG scans
These help us create a care plan tailored to the trimester you’re in.
And the best part? The scans are:
- Totally safe during pregnancy
- Take just a few minutes
- Track progress as your body adapts
What Can You Expect from Care?
With consistent chiropractic care during pregnancy, many moms report:
- 🌙 Better sleep
- 😌 Less tension and pain
- 🧘♀️ Calmer emotions
- 🔄 Improved digestion
- ⚡️ Better energy and focus
- 👶 Baby moving more freely
- 💪 Confidence in their birth plan
And beyond that: babies settle into optimal positions, labors often progress more naturally, and fewer interventions are needed.
Because when the nervous system is regulated, everything works better.
You Deserve a Calm, Confident Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting seasons of your life.
But it doesn’t have to include the overwhelm, exhaustion, or stress that’s become “normal.”
You have choices.
You have support.
And you don’t have to walk this path alone.
