Pregnancy is an exciting and demanding time, and it places new physical stresses on the body as it adapts to support a growing baby. At Knoxville Family Chiropractic in Knoxville, TN, Dr. Eric Lundgren, DC, provides pregnancy-safe chiropractic care designed to help expectant mothers stay comfortable, mobile, and supported throughout each trimester. His approach centers on reducing strain, improving alignment, and helping you feel more at ease as your body changes.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters During Pregnancy
As pregnancy progresses, the spine and pelvis must adjust to shifts in weight, posture, and joint mobility. Hormonal changes also loosen ligaments, making it easier for joints to become strained or misaligned. These factors can create discomfort in the lower back, hips, and pelvis, and many women notice increased tension as their center of gravity shifts.
Pregnancy chiropractic care helps restore balance and relieve pressure on joints and surrounding muscles. When the spine and pelvis move well, mothers often experience improved comfort and better support.
Techniques Designed for Expectant Mothers
Dr. Lundgren uses safe, low-force techniques for pregnant patients. These adjustments are performed with specialized positioning to avoid pressure on the abdomen, allowing you to relax throughout your visit. The goal is to reduce discomfort, support normal joint function, and help your body adapt more easily to changes.
Care may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments
- Pelvic alignment to improve comfort and movement
- Soft-tissue work to ease muscle tension
- Guidance on posture and daily movement
Because pregnancy affects each woman differently, every treatment plan is personalized to meet your needs and stage of pregnancy.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Many women seek chiropractic support at our Knoxville, TN, practice to help with:
- Lower back pain

Proper alignment also promotes better function of the pelvic muscles and ligaments, supporting overall comfort as your body prepares for birth. When tension is reduced, it can be easier to move, rest, and stay active throughout pregnancy.
Supporting a More Comfortable Pregnancy
Dr. Lundgren encourages expectant mothers to take an active role in their comfort. He offers practical guidance on body mechanics, stretches, and simple habits that help reduce day-to-day strain.
