Gentle prenatal chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO — safe relief for back, hip, and pelvic discomfort during pregnancy, including the Webster Technique.
Full Circle Health
Prenatal Care in Chesterfield
Pregnancy brings remarkable changes to your body — and for many expectant mothers in Chesterfield and the St. Louis area, those changes also bring pelvic discomfort, low-back aching, or a sense that things just feel "off." The Webster Technique is a specific, gentle chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to balance the pelvis and ease tension in the ligaments and muscles that support it, helping you stay as comfortable as possible through every trimester.
Your first visit includes a thorough review of your pregnancy history, trimester, and current concerns, plus a gentle orthopedic and pelvic assessment. We confirm chiropractic is appropriate for you and share your plan with your OB or midwife so everyone is on the same page.
Step 2
A personalized, trimester-aware plan
Your care plan is tailored to where you are in your pregnancy — techniques, positioning, and visit frequency all shift as you progress. We give you a plain-English explanation of what we're doing and why at every step.
Step 3
Gentle adjustments and pelvic support
Each visit uses pregnancy-safe, low-force techniques — including the Webster Technique for sacral and pelvic alignment — to ease back, hip, and pelvic discomfort and keep you moving comfortably through your pregnancy.

The basics
About prenatal care
During pregnancy, hormonal changes loosen the ligaments that support your pelvis and sacroiliac joints, while the growing baby steadily shifts your center of gravity forward. This combination places new, uneven loads on the lumbar spine, hips, and pelvis — often showing up as low back ache, hip tightness, pelvic girdle discomfort, or sciatic nerve irritation that runs into the buttock or leg. These are among the most common physical complaints of pregnancy, and they tend to worsen with each passing week if left unaddressed.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on restoring gentle, balanced motion to the spinal and pelvic joints so your body can adapt more comfortably to the changes ahead. The Webster Technique — a specific chiropractic analysis and low-force adjustment — addresses sacral and pelvic alignment and the surrounding soft tissue. All techniques used during pregnancy are adapted for safety and comfort; we never use high-velocity forces over the abdomen, and our tables accommodate a growing belly at every stage.

Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor While Pregnant
Spinal health is extremely important during all stages of life, but pregnancy brings its own set of challenges to your body that requires extra care. Seeing a chiropractor during your pregnancy is going to help minimize symptoms that you’ll experience and keep you on the path to optimal spinal health.
Common symptoms that chiropractors can help with during pregnancy include:
Low back pain
Neck pain
Ligament pain
Morning sickness
Breech babies
Pelvis and sacrum pain
Length of labor
During pregnancy, your body is much more susceptible to subluxations and misalignments in your joints. All the changes and additional pressure can cause a lot of issues. You’ll benefit greatly by seeing a chiropractor during your pregnancy and beyond.

Prenatal Care FAQ
Still have questions? Contact us — we're happy to help.
What is prenatal chiropractic care?+
Prenatal chiropractic uses gentle, pregnancy-adapted adjustments to restore balanced motion to the spine, pelvis, and sacroiliac joints. The goal is to ease the musculoskeletal discomfort that commonly comes with the physical changes of pregnancy — back pain, hip tightness, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica — using techniques specifically modified for expectant moms.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?+
Yes, when provided by a chiropractor trained in prenatal care. Dr. Noonan uses low-force, pregnancy-specific techniques and specially designed positioning that supports a growing belly at every trimester. High-velocity forces over the abdomen are never used. We review your pregnancy history and confirm appropriateness before beginning any care.
What is the Webster Technique?+
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis, combined with soft-tissue work on the associated ligaments. It is designed to reduce tension in the pelvic region and restore balanced sacral motion — commonly used to ease pelvic and low back discomfort during pregnancy.
Will you coordinate with my OB or midwife?+
Absolutely. We believe collaborative care is best during pregnancy. We're happy to communicate with your OB, midwife, or any other member of your care team so everyone is informed and aligned on your plan.
Does it hurt?+
No — prenatal adjustments are gentle by design. Many expecting moms find the visits deeply relieving, especially for low back and hip tension that builds with each trimester. We use light, controlled force and check in with you throughout every visit.
How many visits will I need?+
It varies by trimester, your specific discomfort, and how your body responds. After your first visit, Dr. Noonan gives you a clear, time-bound plan — not open-ended care. Many patients visit once or twice a month and adjust frequency as their pregnancy progresses.
When in my pregnancy can I start care?+
Chiropractic care can be appropriate in any trimester, including the first. The earlier we address developing imbalances, the better your body tends to adapt as pregnancy advances. We assess your individual situation at your first visit and tailor everything to your current stage.
Will insurance cover prenatal chiropractic?+
Many plans cover chiropractic care, though prenatal-specific coverage varies. We verify your benefits before your first visit and walk you through what's covered. Affordable self-pay options are available for patients without coverage.
Can chiropractic help with sciatica during pregnancy?+
Often, yes. Sciatic nerve irritation is common in pregnancy as the pelvis widens and the baby's position shifts loads onto the lower back and buttock. Gentle pelvic and lumbar adjustments can reduce the joint and tissue tension contributing to that pain. We're transparent about what to expect and refer out if needed.
Do you see patients after birth, too?+
Yes. Postpartum care — including pelvic realignment and assessment after delivery — is a natural extension of prenatal chiropractic. We also offer pediatric chiropractic for your newborn if you'd like a gentle wellness check after birth.

“The Full Circle Health team is wonderful! Dr.Noonan is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about chiropractic care. I began seeing her when I was 7 months pregnant. After my initial adjustment, I felt immediate relief from the lower back pain I had been experiencing throughout pregnancy. Shortly after my daughter was born I began taking her to Full Circle Heath as well. Dr. Noonan is very proactive in educating her patients on the adjustments she is making each visit and why it is important to the body. Beyond grateful that I found Full Circle Health!”

“Dr. Noonan is amazing! I'm 24 weeks pregnant have have only been seeing her for a few weeks so far, but she's totally changed my life for the better. I came to her with daily headaches/migraines, round ligament pain, and some other ailments and my way of life improved pretty immediately. She's super attentive and caring, and I literally haven't had one headache since she started helping me. I wish I came to see her when I was pregnant with my first kid. 100% recommend, especially for expecting mamas!”
