Prenatal Chiropractor Sheridan Park, IL

At McKinley Family Chiropractic, the word “family” represents much more than our name—it defines how we care for others. The same expert attention and thoughtful care we give to our loved ones is what we offer every member of the Sheridan Park, IL community.

Whether you came across us while searching for a “prenatal chiropractor near me” or “pregnancy chiropractor near me,” or someone you trust referred you, you’ve arrived at a chiropractic care provider with real experience and dedication.

Dr. McKinley is a proud member of the American Pregnancy Association. In addition, he holds certification from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is fully trained in the Webster Technique, a specialized method used in prenatal chiropractic care.

Our prenatal chiropractor is dedicated to high standards, making every visit a meaningful part of supporting your baby’s start in life. We take time to learn about you, making sure the environment is warm, friendly, and informative about what to expect from us.

Chiropractic care is a unique branch of health that centers on the body’s control hub—the nervous system. Since the brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system, this part of the body plays a vital role in maintaining health for both you and your baby.

When your spine is properly aligned, your body works in unison—making breathing smoother, movements more coordinated, and digestion more efficient. In this kind of environment, both you and your baby can receive the full benefits of improved health.

During pregnancy, however, spinal misalignments can become worse. When the spine shifts out of alignment, it interferes with how nerves connect with the brain, which reduces their ability to function well throughout the body

Among the most frequent concerns our pregnancy chiropractor addresses is back pain and sciatica. As your baby grows and your abdomen expands, your back’s natural curve becomes more exaggerated. This shift in your center of gravity places extra pressure on the lower back, leading to discomfort. Misalignment in this area can trigger sciatic nerve irritation, creating back pain that spreads through the hips and down the legs.

Pregnancy doesn’t just change your center of gravity—it also brings hormonal shifts that affect how your body feels and functions. One important hormone, relaxin, helps loosen the pelvis to make room for your baby and assist with delivery.

However, since relaxin is a hormone, its effects go beyond just the pelvis. It softens connective tissue throughout the body, which can result in pain in areas where those tissues become overly relaxed.

Joints that are normally firm and unmoving can begin to shift due to the effects of relaxin. This often results in pain around the hips, pubic area, and along the sides of the abdomen.

Seeing our prenatal chiropractor can help correct these joint changes as they happen, offering more comfort throughout your pregnancy.

During pregnancy, chiropractic care may also assist with:

• Easing neck pain
• Alleviating nausea
• Supporting better sleep

Although chiropractic adjustments play a key role, our pregnancy chiropractor also focuses on what’s causing your hip pain. Working on alignment, especially when combined with a nutrient-rich diet and a personalized gentle movement routine, can provide even greater relief.

The benefits of visiting a chiropractor go beyond your own well-being—they extend to your baby as well. Receiving consistent chiropractic care during pregnancy is a wonderful way to give your child a healthy start in life.

Although a misaligned pelvis causes you discomfort, it also impacts your baby’s environment. The uterus is the only space your baby knows, and since they can’t take a break or move elsewhere, it’s essential to ensure they have plenty of room.

When our chiropractor helps restore proper alignment for both you and your baby, it allows your little one the freedom to move naturally. This freedom makes your baby more at ease and supports healthy development without the stress of restricted space.

With room to move, your baby can also get into the best position for birth—known as vertex presentation—where the head is down and facing your back. In addition, alignment of the nerves that influence the uterus can help keep contractions consistent and productive throughout labor.
