Prenatal Chiropractic
Prenatal Chiropractic Care in Aurora, Ohio
Pregnancy aches you have been told to just live with do not have to be the norm. Dr. Lauren Mayes provides gentle, non-invasive prenatal chiropractic care for pelvic balance, back pain, and a smoother labor and delivery, adapted to every trimester.
Why Expecting Moms Come In
What Can Prenatal Chiropractic Care Help With?
Prenatal chiropractic care is a gentle, drug-free way to manage the strain pregnancy places on the spine, pelvis, and supporting muscles across all 3 trimesters. Dr. Lauren Mayes examines each expecting mom individually at the Aurora office, then uses pregnancy-safe adjustments and hands-on techniques aimed at restoring balance rather than just easing symptoms. In our practice, these are the most common reasons an expecting mom books a first prenatal visit.
Lower back pain and pelvic pain as posture shifts
Sciatica and nerve irritation from pregnancy weight shifts
Headaches plus neck and shoulder muscle tension
Joint pain and general muscle tension in later trimesters
Led by Dr. Lauren Mayes
A Doctor Who Made Prenatal Care Her Focus.
Dr. Lauren Mayes completed Life University's full advanced pediatric and prenatal coursework track under a nationally respected instructor, and prenatal care has been a genuine focus of her practice ever since. She adapts her exam table, her technique, and her adjustments to your specific trimester and comfort level, using pregnancy-specific positioning so you are never asked to lie flat on your back in a way that feels wrong. The goal throughout is better pelvic balance and nervous system function, supporting both your comfort during pregnancy and, for many moms, a smoother path toward labor and delivery. Once your baby arrives, Dr. Mayes also provides gentle pediatric chiropractic care, so the same doctor can continue caring for your child from their very first visit.
Gentle, Trimester-Specific Care
A Pregnancy-Safe Table and Technique.
Dr. Mayes uses a specialized pregnancy-safe table and pregnancy-specific positioning, so you are never asked to lie flat on your back in a way that feels wrong. Every adjustment is adapted to your current trimester and comfort level.
Your First Prenatal Visit
Gentle From the First Appointment On.
Your first prenatal visit starts with a real conversation about your pregnancy, your history, and any discomfort you are managing, followed by a thorough exam. Dr. Mayes uses a specialized, pregnancy-safe table and pregnancy-specific adjusting techniques, including approaches used to help support optimal fetal positioning as your due date approaches. Nothing is forceful, and every technique is adapted to what feels comfortable for you at your current stage of pregnancy. Many patients continue care through delivery and return afterward for their own postpartum recovery alongside their newborn's first pediatric visits.
