Pre/Postnatal Chiropractic in Howell, MI
Here at Family Chiropractic in Howell, MI , we offer a gentle, conservative approach to caring for women during and after pregnancy, helping relieve aches and strains while supporting comfort for both mom and baby without drugs.
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to a woman’s body. As the baby grows, the center of gravity shifts forward, the curve of the lower back increases and hormones loosen the ligaments that support the pelvis and spine. These changes can lead to low back pain, hip and pelvic pain, sciatica and difficulty sleeping.
At Family Chiropractic, we take a conservative approach to caring for pregnant women. Our prenatal care is gentle and safe, and it aims to relieve the stresses and strains of pregnancy while improving comfort for both mother and baby, all without the use of drugs.

Safe, Gentle Techniques
Dr. Adam Fasick adapts every adjustment for pregnancy. He uses low-force techniques such as the Activator Method and his Sigma Instrument, along with supportive positioning so you stay comfortable throughout your visit. Kinesio taping can also help support the lower back and belly as your pregnancy progresses.
Postnatal Chiropractic Care
After delivery, your body continues to change as it recovers. Carrying, lifting and nursing a newborn put new demands on your neck, shoulders and back. Postnatal chiropractic care helps restore alignment, relieve neck pain and shoulder pain, and support your recovery so you can focus on your baby. Corrective exercises and massage therapy can help rebuild strength and ease tension.
Care for Mom and the Whole Family
We care for the whole family, so once your little one arrives, we’re here for them too with gentle pediatric chiropractic care. We can also offer nutritional guidance to support your health during and after pregnancy.
