Prenatal Care
Nurturing Prenatal Chiropractic Care Supporting You and Your Baby Naturally
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings many physical changes that can place new demands on your body. As your baby grows, shifts in posture and balance may bring to light underlying imbalances in your spine and pelvis often leading to common discomforts like lower back pain, sciatica, pelvic pressure, or hip pain.
At Lakeside Chiropractic of Lake Norman, Dr. Joyce Battaglia offers gentle, customized care designed specifically for expectant mothers. Her approach is calm, non-invasive, and free of twisting ideal for supporting your body throughout every stage of pregnancy. Every adjustment is done with intention and care, helping you feel more at ease and better connected to your changing body.
The Webster Technique: Gentle Support for a Smoother Pregnancy
One of Dr. Battaglia’s most trusted tools for prenatal care is the Webster Technique. A safe and specific chiropractic method focused on gently aligning the pelvis and reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments. This helps balance your body and supports ideal space for your baby to grow and move into an optimal position for birth.
The technique involves precise adjustments to reduce sacral subluxation and improve the function of the sacroiliac (SI) joints, key areas that influence posture, comfort, and pelvic alignment. By enhancing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis, the Webster Technique supports both mama and baby in a natural, holistic way.
Dr. Battaglia is certified in both prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), and holds a Webster Certification so you can feel confident knowing you're in skilled, nurturing hands.

Dr. Battaglia believes that personalized care is essential, especially during pregnancy. She never overbooks her schedule and values your time and comfort. You’ll be seen promptly and given the space you need for a thoughtful, unhurried visit focused entirely on your well-being.
