WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

google review for prenatal chiropractic in San Francisco

I started seeing Dr. Dan after experiencing really painful sciatica for a month, or so. Best decision I ever made! After two or three visits, the pain was pretty much gone. He was great at explaining what was going on and how and why he was doing what he was doing. He gave me simple exercises to maintain the relief from pain. His easy going, friendly and often funny demeanor makes going to see him a joy, rather than a chore. He's a truly gifted chiropractor!

Dr. Dan is our go-to chiro for RoCo dance teachers, and we love him! I’ve been seeing him on and off for a few months and I’ve definitely noticed improvements. My body feels lighter when dancing and teaching my classes. His professional and attentive approach has really helped me feel more balanced and mobile. Highly recommend!

How Prenatal Care Works

According to the American Pregnancy website, if your pelvis is misaligned, there is not enough room for the developing baby. Chiropractic care can help establish balance in your pelvis and align your spine.

At Shapero Chiropractic, we apply adjustments to the neck, back, and pelvic area to improve any skeletal issues you have developed. Our chiropractor is trained in working with pregnant women and use tables adjusted for a pregnant body. When performing chiropractic techniques, they avoid unnecessary pressure on the belly.

Visiting a chiropractor at Shapero Chiropractic in the Financial District, Downtown San Francisco can help you determine if your pregnancy is causing your pain. Our chiropractor will perform a detailed examination and check if the spine could benefit from an adjustment.

Prenatal Chiropractic Clinical FAQs
We address shifting center of gravity, increased lumbar curve, pelvic ligament laxity, and postural adaptations that can lead to discomfort. Care focuses on supporting the body through these natural changes at Shapero Chiropractic in San Francisco.
First trimester focuses on general wellness, second trimester addresses emerging postural changes, and third trimester prepares for delivery. We use specialized tables and positioning for comfort throughout pregnancy at our San Francisco chiropractic clinic.
Low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica-like symptoms, and certain types of round ligament discomfort often improve with appropriate care. The approach focuses on optimal alignment and nervous system function.
Many patients benefit from monthly visits early in pregnancy, increasing to every 2-3 weeks in later trimesters as biomechanical demands increase. Individual schedules are based on symptoms and activity levels.
Beyond standard training, many complete certifications in prenatal and perinatal care covering pregnancy physiology, safe adjusting techniques, and birth preparation approaches.
We use specialized pregnancy pillows, side-lying techniques, and other methods that avoid abdominal pressure. Patient comfort and safety guide all positioning decisions throughout care.
