Supporting Moms Through Pregnancy, Postpartum & Beyond with Dr. Amy

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to a woman’s body. As a baby grows, the body continually adapts to changes in posture, weight distribution, movement, and pelvic positioning. At Babcock Family Chiropractic in Aberdeen, SD, Dr. Amy Munsterman-Wills has a special passion for helping women feel supported and confident throughout pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the transition into motherhood.

As a second-generation chiropractor with specialized training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care, Dr. Amy understands that every pregnancy and every mom is different. Her goal is to provide gentle, individualized chiropractic care that supports the body through each stage of this important season.

A Passion for Prenatal Chiropractic Care

Dr. Amy grew up in Brookings, South Dakota, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from South Dakota State University. She later received her Doctorate of Chiropractic with Sports Emphasis Honors from Northwestern Health Sciences University.

As her career developed, Dr. Amy felt increasingly drawn toward caring for women during pregnancy and after childbirth. She views pregnancy as an incredible season in a woman’s life and is passionate about helping moms feel supported as their bodies prepare for birth.

Her approach centers on helping the body move and function as well as possible while providing compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Pregnancy can place new demands on the muscles, joints, pelvis, and spine. As the body changes, some women experience discomfort or find that everyday movements become more difficult.

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on supporting healthy movement and function throughout these changes. Dr. Amy’s approach includes gentle chiropractic techniques designed specifically with pregnant patients in mind.

She focuses on areas such as pelvic and sacral balance, comfortable movement, and supporting an environment that allows baby to grow and move throughout pregnancy.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, care is individualized based on each mom, her stage of pregnancy, and how her body is responding to the changes taking place.

Webster Certified Chiropractic Care in Aberdeen, SD

Dr. Amy is Perinatal and Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

The Webster Technique is a chiropractic technique commonly used when caring for pregnant patients. It focuses on evaluating and addressing the sacrum and surrounding structures with the goal of supporting proper pelvic function.

For Dr. Amy, prenatal care is about more than addressing discomfort. She enjoys developing relationships with moms throughout their pregnancies and supporting them as they prepare physically for birth and motherhood.

One of the most rewarding parts of her work is hearing from patients after delivery and learning about their positive birth experiences.

Support Doesn’t End After Baby Arrives

A mother’s body continues to experience significant changes after delivery.

The postpartum period can include healing from pregnancy and childbirth while simultaneously adjusting to feeding, carrying, lifting, and caring for a newborn. These new physical demands can affect how the body feels and functions.

Dr. Amy continues to work with moms during the postpartum period, helping them restore movement and function and feel more comfortable as they recover and adapt to caring for their new baby.

Postpartum chiropractic care can be another part of a mom’s overall wellness plan as she navigates this new stage of life.

Chiropractic Care for the Whole Family

Dr. Amy’s additional pediatric chiropractic training also allows her to continue caring for families after pregnancy.

She enjoys working with babies and children and being able to support families as they move from pregnancy into parenthood. This family-focused approach fits naturally with the mission of Babcock Family Chiropractic, where patients range from newborns to grandparents.
