Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
Dr. Kristin is certified in Webster Technique; a technique that involves specific analysis of the pelvis, sacrum and sacroiliac joint to allow for proper baby positioning.
Optimizing Your Body for Pregnancy
As you know now growing a little human is hard work! Your body goes through a number of changes especially in the alignment of your body that causes discomforts. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Chiropractic care plays a big role in optimizing your body’s alignment to decrease lower back pain as well as relaxing uterine ligaments allowing baby to have more space to get into the best birthing position.
What does this mean?! It means, mom-to-be feels better, sleeps better, and functions better and baby is less stressed for their entrance into the world. Decreased delivery pain, delivery time and lesser chance of C-section….YES PLEASE! 😊
We love to empower mothers and give them support they need during this incredible time.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy
Decreases aches, pain and headaches (especially lower back pain and sciatica)
Improve sleep
Increase overall comfort
Increase space for baby… letting you breathe a little easier
Relieve heartburn
Correct ligament tension to give baby more space
Encourage a head down position for baby
Decrease pelvic and sacral pain during delivery
*Added bonus: you get to lie face down on the table…we’ll even let you take a little nap if you need it. 😊
Care can start as early as you find out you’re expecting, all the way through delivery.
The 4th Trimester (Postpartum Care)
This is the time that doctors sometimes forget to tell us. As much of a miracle bringing your new baby into this world is, the next few days to weeks can be tough. Don’t worry! We are here for you and your little bundle of joy! As your body adapts to going back to normal and your babe is trying to understand the world your nervous systems are working in overdrive. This can cause everything from postpartum pain, anxiety and depression as well as a not so happy baby struggling with breastfeeding, colic, constipation and poor sleep.
At this time our first priority is to put your body back together, by using chiropractic care, to get it moving and functioning properly. Taking that bit of stress off your plate lets you focus on building a healthy relationship with your baby.

“Our little Kai is all DONE with visits to the ENT. Her tubes fell out last week, and routine check-up today showed her ear drums have completely healed with very minimal scarring. We’re so thankful for Dr. Haller and his team at Rocky Mountain ENT in Missoula, and for Kristin Grote at Rocky Mountain Chiropractic for helping to get our girl back from these nasty infections that plagued her for so long!”
