Prenatal & Postpartum Chiropractor Toronto & Newmarket
Pregnancy and postpartum can change how your back, hips, pelvis, ribs and neck feel, sometimes from one week to the next. At Oona Wellness Group, our chiropractors provide individualized prenatal and postpartum chiropractic care in Toronto and Newmarket for concerns including lower-back pain, pelvic girdle pain, hip discomfort, sciatica, rib pain, neck tension and the physical demands of feeding, carrying and caring for a baby.
Every appointment begins with a detailed assessment of your concerns, health history, movement and goals. Treatment may include gentle adjustments, joint mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, exercise guidance and practical ways to move more comfortably at home. Your care is adapted throughout pregnancy and postpartum, and nothing is done without your agreement.
Oona’s chiropractors can also collaborate with our pelvic floor physiotherapists, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors and other practitioners when connected care would be helpful. No referral is needed, new patients are welcome, and direct insurance billing is available whenever possible at our Toronto and Newmarket clinics.
Prenatal and Postpartum Chiropractic Care at Oona
Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy-Related Pain
Pregnancy changes how your body carries weight and moves through everyday life. As your centre of gravity shifts and the physical demands on your muscles and joints change, you may notice pain or discomfort in your lower back, pelvis, hips, ribs or neck.
At Oona Wellness Group, prenatal chiropractic care begins with an individualized assessment of your movement, joint function, muscular tension, concerns and goals. Your treatment may include gentle adjustments or mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, exercises and practical guidance for moving more comfortably. Care is adapted to your pregnancy and preferences, with no fixed treatment plan applied to everyone.
Gentle Care Adapted for Pregnancy
Many people searching for a prenatal chiropractor want to know whether they will need to lie flat, twist or receive a forceful adjustment. At Oona, positioning and treatment techniques are adapted throughout pregnancy. Specialized tables and supportive positioning can help you remain comfortable, while different treatment options allow your chiropractor to work within your preferences.
Your chiropractor will explain the proposed assessment and treatment before beginning. Depending on what is appropriate for you, care may include gentle joint mobilization, drop-table techniques, soft-tissue therapy, exercise guidance and strategies for daily movement.

Postpartum Chiropractic Care for Everyday Movement
After birth, recovery happens alongside feeding, lifting, carrying and spending long periods in positions that may leave your neck, shoulders, back, hips or wrists feeling sore. Postpartum chiropractic care can assess how your joints, muscles and movement patterns are responding to these new physical demands.
Treatment may include gentle manual therapy, soft-tissue techniques, exercises and practical changes to feeding, carrying or lifting positions. Whether you gave birth recently or your postpartum concerns have continued for months or years, your care plan should reflect what is happening now. Oona provides postpartum chiropractic care in Toronto and Newmarket with no referral required.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first chiropractic appointment starts with a detailed conversation about your health history, current concerns, pregnancy or postpartum recovery, daily activities and goals. Your chiropractor will then complete an appropriate assessment, which may include posture, movement, joint function, muscle tension and the activities that are currently difficult or uncomfortable.
Once the assessment is complete, your chiropractor will explain what they found and recommend a personalized care plan. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the potential benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment begins. Nothing is done without your agreement, and your care can be adapted as your body, pregnancy and goals change.
Connected Perinatal Care in Toronto and Newmarket
Pregnancy and postpartum concerns do not always fit neatly within one type of care. Back or pelvic pain may overlap with pelvic floor function, muscular tension, scar recovery, sleep, feeding positions or the physical demands of caring for a baby. At Oona, your chiropractor can collaborate with other practitioners when a connected care plan would be helpful and you would like your care coordinated.
Appointments are available at our Toronto clinic on The Queensway and our Newmarket clinic on Gorham Street. No referral is needed, new patients are welcome, and direct insurance billing is available whenever possible.
