Pregnancy brings beautiful changes—but it can also cause discomfort, especially in the back, hips, and pelvis. At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro offers safe, gentle chiropractic care tailored specifically for expectant mothers to ease pain, improve posture, and support a healthier pregnancy.
