Pelvic-girdle pain
SI-joint and pubic symphysis pain from relaxin-softened ligaments + growing load. Worst pattern by member report in T2/T3. PelviSync is the primary response.
Trimester-adapted low-force protocols for pelvic, lumbar, and thoracic discomfort through pregnancy. Delivered safely through all three trimesters. Positioning is trimester-specific; force profile is always paediatric or light; obstetric clearance is required before we begin.
Pregnancy changes load-bearing, ligament laxity, and nervous-system state all at once. Some discomfort is unavoidable; a lot of it is unnecessary.
SI-joint and pubic symphysis pain from relaxin-softened ligaments + growing load. Worst pattern by member report in T2/T3. PelviSync is the primary response.
Increased lumbar lordosis from belly-weight shift. Typically T2/T3. Side-lying correction, light-force only. Responds well to zone-V + VI dual work.
Increased breast weight + postural rounding. Often presents as mid-back fatigue or shoulder pain, especially in T3. Zone-III upper thoracic focus.
Cadence, force, and positioning all change with the trimester. The clinical framework is the same - the execution adapts.
Prone positioning ends at ~14 weeks. T2 onwards uses side-lying with pillow support; T3 uses birth-ball or semi-reclined.
Adult-setting force disabled on the SpinaliQ throughout pregnancy. Clinically unnecessary and safer to stay low.
Sessions compress in third trimester. Fewer pulses per session; more focus on positioning comfort and breath.
We do not image pregnant members. Assessment is clinical-exam + CellSync only. If imaging is unavoidable, we coordinate through obstetrics.
Trimester-specific drills, low-effort, designed for the reality of being pregnant.
Obstetric team remains primary. We pause or defer SpinalSync at any of these flags.
Low-force, instrument-assisted chiropractic (which is what SpinalSync is) is routinely regarded as safe throughout all three trimesters, provided the clinician is specifically trained for pregnancy positioning and technique. High-velocity manual manipulation is a different question; we do not offer that style, so the question doesn't arise with us.
Yes, always - before your first session. We share our intake form with your obstetric team on request; once they have signed off, we continue through pregnancy without asking for re-approval unless the obstetric picture changes.
Typically not unless you have a specific complaint. T1 is a watchful window - we take a baseline scan, confirm clearance, and only intervene if symptomatic. Most members begin regular sessions in T2.
We wait 8–12 weeks post-C-section and require written clearance from your obstetric surgeon. The post-natal arc is then nearly identical, just starting a little later.
There is no evidence that SpinalSync - or chiropractic care generally - induces labour. There are techniques in the chiropractic literature (Webster Technique) specifically designed to balance pelvic biomechanics in T3, which is standard in our T3 protocol.
Yes, always. Every treatment room has space for a second chair. Many members bring their partner to T3 sessions as we also teach the breath-cadence drills together.
Obstetric clearance before your first session. Side-lying positioning from T2. Paediatric force only, throughout.
