Preconception & Fertility Support
Before pregnancy begins, the nervous system plays a foundational role in hormonal balance and communication throughout the body.
Chiropractic care during the preconception phase focuses on supporting proper pelvic alignment, nervous system regulation, and reduced tension in the sacrum and surrounding ligaments, encouraging optimal communication between the brain and reproductive organs.
While chiropractic care does not treat infertility, many women choose to receive care as part of a holistic approach while preparing their bodies for pregnancy. This phase of care is gentle, specific, and centered on helping your body function at its highest potential.
Prenatal Chiropractic & The Webster Technique
As pregnancy progresses, physical and hormonal changes place new demands on the spine and pelvis.
Dr. Alex is certified in the Webster Technique from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic approach designed to reduce tension and restore balance in the pelvis during pregnancy.
The purpose of the Webster Technique is not to “turn” babies, but to help create a balanced environment so baby has space to move into an optimal position naturally.
Every pregnancy is unique, but supporting nervous system function can meaningfully impact how your body adapts.
Women under consistent prenatal chiropractic care often report:
Improved comfort and mobility
Better sleep
Reduced tension in the hips and low back
Easier movement as pregnancy progresses
Optimal baby positioning
Smoother labor experiences (shorter labor times, less interventions)
Calmer, more regulated newborns
“I highly recommend Dr Alex Skelton. I had never seen a chiropractor before so was apprehensive to go when I started experiencing pain in my pregnancy. I’m so thankful I went. She is amazingly skilled, gentle, and puts you at ease immediately. She has completely resolved the pain I was experiencing. I have also been taking my 3 year old daughter and seen an improvement with her as well. She is truly amazing with the kiddos. You can tell she cares so deeply for her patients of all ages. I will continue to see her through my pregnancy and after! I cannot recommend her enough.”

Postpartum Support
Chiropractic care doesn’t end at delivery.
The postpartum season brings its own physical demands — from nursing positions to lifting, carrying, and recovering after birth.
Supporting the spine and nervous system during this time can help:
Restore balance after delivery
Reduce tension in the back and shoulders
Improve overall mobility
Support recovery as your body transitions
Many women choose to continue care during postpartum to help their body recalibrate after pregnancy and birth.
“Dr. Alex is truly so amazing. I found her when I was having bad round ligament pain in pregnancy and she brought so much relief. My kids see her as well and their care keeps them regulated and healthy! Dr. Alex is attentive and professional, and also so personable. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
