🌿 How Prenatal Chiropractic Care Supports a Successful VBAC

What Is a VBAC?

A VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) means giving birth vaginally after having a previous C-section.
Many moms choose a VBAC to recover faster, avoid another surgery, and feel more in control of their birth experience.

But a successful VBAC requires preparation — and that’s where prenatal chiropractic care makes a difference.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with VBAC

Dr. Jesse treating a pregnant patient

1. 🩷 Improves Pelvic Alignment

A balanced pelvis gives your baby the best space to move into the head-down position.
Using the Webster Technique, chiropractors gently align the pelvis and release tight ligaments, reducing stress on the uterus and improving baby’s positioning.

2. 🌬 Supports the Nervous System

Your spine and pelvis protect the nerves that control uterine and pelvic muscles. When those nerves work freely, contractions and movement during labor are more effective — which can support a smoother VBAC.

3. 🤰 Helps with Scar and Muscle Tension

C-section scars can create tightness through your abdomen and hips. Gentle muscle work and adjustments can help release this tension, restoring balance to your core and pelvis.

4. 🧘♀️ Prepares the Body for Birth

Prenatal chiropractic care keeps your joints mobile, helps reduce back and hip pain, and supports better posture — all key for a strong and flexible labor.

Is It Safe?

Yes. When performed by a Webster-certified prenatal chiropractor, VBAC chiropractic care is gentle, safe, and supportive.
There’s no twisting or high force — just calm, precise adjustments made for pregnant bodies.
