You Deserve to Feel Good During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one of the most incredible things your body will ever do. It is also physically demanding in ways nobody warns you about. At Lumina Chiropractic, Dr. Lacy specializes in prenatal care that meets you exactly where you are, whether you are newly pregnant, deep in the third trimester, or navigating the postpartum season.
Her approach is gentle, specific, and designed with you and your baby in mind.
-
Dr. Lacy is certified in the Webster Technique, a chiropractic method specifically developed for pregnancy. It focuses on balancing the pelvis and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments to create a more comfortable environment for both mom and baby.
Webster Technique care is commonly sought for pregnancy-related back pain, hip discomfort, and supporting optimal fetal positioning as your due date approaches.

-
The work doesn't stop at delivery. Birth, regardless of how it goes, is physically intense. The pelvis, sacrum, and spine go through significant changes during labor and delivery, and postpartum recovery is a time when chiropractic care can be especially supportive.
Dr. Lacy sees postpartum patients as early as a few days after birth and tailors care to wherever you are in your recovery. And if your baby needs to be seen too, they're welcome at the same visit.
-
Yes. Prenatal chiropractic care is safe throughout all three trimesters when provided by a chiropractor with proper training and technique. Dr. Lacy uses gentle, pregnancy-specific approaches and positioning throughout every visit. She does not use techniques that put pressure on the abdomen.
-
Any trimester is a good time to start. Some patients come in during the first trimester for nausea support and early pelvic care. Others start in the second trimester when back pain begins. Many come in the third trimester for positioning support and birth preparation. Earlier is generally better, but it's never too late.
-
The Webster Technique is not a method for turning babies, but by optimizing pelvic balance and reducing soft tissue tension, it supports the conditions in which babies are more likely to find their optimal position. Many midwives and OBs recommend Webster care as part of a broader approach when positioning is a concern.
-
Pregnant patients are positioned with pregnancy-specific cushioning and support so there is never pressure on the abdomen. Techniques are modified throughout each trimester to match where you are in your pregnancy. Everything is gentle and adapted to your body's current state.
-
Yes. Dr. Lacy sees postpartum patients and welcomes newborns at the same visit if your baby also needs to be seen.
-
It depends on your symptoms, goals, and how your body is responding to care. Many patients come in every two to four weeks throughout pregnancy and increase frequency in the third trimester. Dr. Lacy will make a recommendation based on your individual needs.
