The first trimester of pregnancy can feel like a whirlwind—one minute, you’re over the moon, and the next, you’re hit with exhaustion, nausea, and wondering how something the size of a blueberry can throw your whole body out of whack🥴 But here’s the thing—your body is already adapting big time to make space for your little one, and those changes can come with discomfort. That’s where chiropractic care comes in!🙌🏼🤰🏻

A few things to know...

✨ Your body is changing earlier than you think. While you may not be "showing" yet, your pelvis, spine, and ligaments are already adapting to pregnancy, and gentle chiropractic care can help ease discomfort, support your nervous system, and create the best foundation for baby to grow.

✨ Nausea or indigestion? Your nervous system plays a role. Adjustments can help regulate your body’s response and even improve digestion.

✨ Hydration & protein are key. Your body is working overtime—fuel it well!

✨ Fatigue is normal, but movement helps! Gentle stretching and light exercise can keep you feeling your best.

✨ Your pelvic floor matters now. Chiropractic care helps ensure your pelvis is aligned, making a smoother pregnancy (and birth) more likely. Coordinating care with a PT that specializes in pelvic floor care can also be beneficial (throughout and after your pregnancy!)

Mama, you don’t have to navigate this alone! At Awaken, we’re here to support your body through every stage of pregnancy—because when you feel good, baby does too. 💕

Every joint in your body contains thousands of sensory receptors that constantly send information to your brain about movement, position and stability.

When a restricted joint begins moving again, that sensory input changes.

Your brain receives new information. Your nervous system adapts.

Protective muscle tension may decrease, movement can become more efficient, and your body has the opportunity to respond differently.

Pain relief can happen, but it’s often just one piece of a much bigger picture.

Our goal isn’t simply to help you feel better just for today. It’s to help your nervous system receive better information so your body has the opportunity to function, adapt, and recover the way it was designed to.

✨Better input. Better adaptation. Better living!✨

We've had some new faces around our page here, so let's do a quick introduction!

Hi👋🏼☺️I'm Dr. Erica Smothers! I'm the owner and chiropractor at Awaken Family Chiropractic. Our office takes care of patients of all ages, with a special emphasis on chiropractic care for infants, children and expecting moms!👶🏻👦🏽🤰🏼

I knew that I wanted to be a chiropractor by the time I was a teenager! I saw from an early age what an awesome profession it was. I loved the idea of being able to play a role in a family's health and well-being but in a proactive way, with a goal of taking care of the body before things go wrong🙌🏼

I am super close with my family! I have three siblings and six nieces and nephews! I am (obviously) the cool aunt😎 and enjoy getting to go to their activities and sporting events. I also enjoy staying active myself! I love attending kickboxing classes🥊 and playing on adult slow pitch softball🥎and indoor/outdoor volleyball🏐 teams! I am passionate about helping and serving individuals with disabilities and their families, and using my own experience to do so!🧑🏻‍🦽 I like to read, and I try getting through a couple of books a month. And, I think truly nothing beats sitting outside with a warm cup of coffee on a spring or summer morning!

I would love to answer any and all questions about chiropractic care (or our office specifically) that you might have! We are here to help!🤍
