Prenatal Chiropractic in Mount Pleasant
In addition to pediatric and family chiropractic care, Lighthouse Family Chiropractic specializes in providing chiropractic services for expectant mothers and their precious unborn babies.
Together, Dr. Devin and Dr. Liv focus on ensuring a safe and natural approach to maintaining the well-being of both Mom and Baby throughout pregnancy—ultimately promoting comfort and facilitating smoother labor and delivery.
Why Chiropractic Care?
With pregnancy comes significant changes in a woman’s body as her baby grows and develops. We also know that the health of mom directly impacts the health of the baby. Baby’s nervous system is developing under the control of mom’s nervous system. By removing interference from mom’s nervous system, we are not only positively influencing her health, but also the baby’s health! A healthy nervous system is incredibly important during pregnancy.
Our Gentle Approach
A pregnant woman’s body undergoes rapid shifts to accommodate her growing baby, which can lead to symptoms such as pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in keeping the pelvis aligned and maintaining optimal pelvic position. This helps in preventing undue stress that could negatively impact both Mom and Baby.
Dr. Devin and Dr. Liv utilize the Webster Technique, a specific method of adjusting designed to cater to the needs of soon-to-be mothers. This technique is both safe and gentle, calming the mom’s nervous system and creating a relaxed gestational environment for the baby.
Our practice proudly features adjustment tables tailored for expectant mothers, complete with pillows that allow you to lie on your stomach without compromising your little one’s comfort.

Libby’s Story: A Different Second Pregnancy
Libby’s first pregnancy was incredibly challenging. Despite being in her mid-20s, working in the fitness industry, and living an active lifestyle, she struggled with SPD, lower back pain related to a car accident more than 10 years earlier, and other symptoms that affected her career and everyday life. What made the experience even more discouraging was that she had already sought chiropractic care without seeing improvement.
Libby first found Lighthouse Family Chiropractic while searching for relief for her son’s severe reflux. Over time, the relationship she developed with Dr. Liv gave her a different perspective on what her second pregnancy might look like.
Libby began nervous system-focused chiropractic care as part of her preconception wellness and continued throughout her pregnancy.
Care Focused on Libby and Her Goals
During her initial visit, Libby sat down with Dr. Liv for an in-depth health consultation. They discussed how she was currently feeling, what she had experienced during her previous pregnancy, and what she hoped would be different this time around.
Nervous system scans were also performed to look at areas of tension and nervous system stress. Libby initially came in twice a week and later transitioned to weekly visits.
As her second pregnancy progressed, Libby noticed a striking difference from her first experience.
Even her husband noticed the change. Libby says he felt relieved and encouraged knowing Dr. Liv would be there throughout the remainder of her pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
