Pregnancy & Family Chiropractor at Active Family Chiropractic
Utah
A chiropractor with 20 years in practice on pregnancy pain, pelvic balance, breech positioning, and why recovery continues beyond six weeks.
In this conversation
Dr. Steph Denniston is a pediatric, maternity, and family chiropractor at Active Family Chiropractic. She has practiced chiropractic care for 20 years and developed a focus on pregnancy after receiving care during her own pregnancies, including a difficult pregnancy with a breech baby.
Her work looks at the pelvis, sacrum, ligaments, and spinal alignment throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Steph's conversation with Bree also makes a clear distinction between chiropractic care and pelvic floor physical therapy: one focuses more on structural alignment, while the other evaluates muscle function, tone, pain, pressure, and concerns such as incontinence.
On Healing at Your Core, Steph and Bree discuss pregnancy pain, pelvic balance, and building a more connected care team. They cover common body changes, what an initial chiropractic visit may involve, support around breech positioning, and why functional postpartum recovery often extends well beyond a six-week checkup.

Steph Denniston joins Bree Allred, PT to explain how pregnancy chiropractic care prevents sciatica, pelvic pain, and supports breech babies naturally.
Watch, listen, and read the episodeA few grounded takeaways from Steph’s conversation with Bree.
Steph discusses sciatica, pubic symphysis pain, and low-back pain as concerns worth evaluating rather than simply enduring. The goal is to understand what the body is doing and what kind of support fits.
As the body adapts to more load and a shifting center of gravity, previously manageable imbalances may become easier to notice. Steph recommends seeking help before daily movement becomes severely limited.
Steph describes the aim as improving pelvic and ligament balance so the baby has as much room as possible to move. The distinction matters because it avoids promising a specific positioning outcome.
Chiropractic care and pelvic floor physical therapy overlap, but they are not interchangeable. The conversation explains how coordinated referrals can address both skeletal alignment and the way muscles manage movement, pressure, and symptoms.
