During pregnancy, your body goes through a lot of changes. This is a crucial time in your health as your body prepares for carrying and delivering your new child. As your body goes through these changes, you want to make sure you are doing everything you can to support your health and maintain a healthy pregnancy. This is where prenatal chiropractic care comes in.
Chiropractic care is an all-natural gentle way to keep your body aligned and functioning properly during pregnancy. When your spine and pelvis are out of alignment, it can lead to a number of problems including pain, muscle tension, and reduced mobility. This is why prenatal chiropractic care is so important. It helps to correct any alignment issues so that you can function at your best during pregnancy, reduce pain and discomfort, and stay healthy.
Our chiropractic services in San Leandro specialize in helping pregnant women with their unique needs.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help During Pregnancy?
There are a lot of benefits to prenatal chiropractic care in San Leandro. Every pregnancy is different, but most women can experience a lot of improvements in their pregnancy experience by working with our chiropractor in San Leandro, Dr. Ernest Luong.
Some of the most common benefits include:
Fewer aches and pains: One of the main reasons women seek chiropractic care during pregnancy is to relieve pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help to ease backache, neck pain, joint pain, and more.
Improved sleep: Many pregnant women have difficulty sleeping due to discomfort and pain. Chiropractic care can help you get a good night’s sleep so you can feel refreshed and energized during the day.
Reduced stress: Pregnancy can be a very stressful time. Chiropractic care can help to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.
More comfortable birthing experience: When your body is properly aligned, it can be easier to go through the birthing process. Chiropractic care may help to shorten labor time and reduce the need for pain medication.
Boosts immune system: prenatal chiropractic care helps to keep your body functioning at its best, which can help boost your immune system and improve overall health.
Reduce back pain, neck pain, and hip pain: these common prenatal complaints can be treated by a chiropractor with gentle adjustments and stretching to relieve pressure on joints and ligaments.
Reduced nausea or vomiting: studies have shown that prenatal chiropractic care reduces morning sickness in some cases – but it’s important to speak with your healthcare provider first to make sure this is safe for you.
Reduced Braxton hicks contractions: these false labor pains can often be reduced or eliminated through prenatal chiropractic care; in fact, chiropractors are actually trained to help start labor when it’s time.
Potentially help breech position: a baby in the breech position (head down, but butt or feet up) can often be corrected through chiropractic care.
Overall posture improvement: as your body changes and grows during pregnancy, you may find that your posture suffers. Chiropractic care can help to improve your posture and make you more comfortable.
As you can see, prenatal chiropractic care offers many benefits for pregnant women. If you are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant, make sure to speak with our chiropractic team in San Leandro to see if prenatal chiropractic care is right for you.
Is Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Safe?
Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to support your health during pregnancy. When performed by a qualified chiropractor, prenatal chiropractic care is gentle and can help to correct any alignment issues, relieve pain and discomfort, and improve your overall health.
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to adjust the spine and other joints and will tailor their care to your specific needs. Usually, this includes gentle, low-force adjustments to your spine, as well as massage, stretching, and other therapies.
Chiropractic care is considered safe for both you and your baby. In fact, prenatal chiropractic care is often recommended by doctors and midwives as a way to improve pregnancy health.
Before any treatments or adjustments are performed, Dr. Ernest Luong will assess your individual situation, health history, and pregnancy, to ensure that prenatal chiropractic care is safe for both you and your baby.
Risk of Seeing a Chiropractor While Pregnant
While chiropractic care is considered safe for both pregnant women and their babies, there are a few things to consider before starting prenatal chiropractic care.
First, it’s important to speak with your chiropractor about any health concerns you may have. Some prenatal conditions may preclude you from receiving chiropractic care.
Second, be aware that some chiropractors may use techniques that are not safe for pregnant women. Always make sure that your chiropractor is qualified and experienced in prenatal care, and ask questions if you’re not sure what will happen during your appointments.
Finally, contact your doctor or midwife if you experience any problems after starting prenatal chiropractic care. It’s important that all healthcare parties involved in your pregnancy are on the same page to ensure you are on the right path to a completely healthy pregnancy.
If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, make sure to disclose this to Dr. Ernest Luong during your appointment.
What to Expect When Seeing a Chiropractor When Pregnant
Chiropractors use gentle adjustments and stretching to relieve pressure on joints and ligaments. These adjustments are safe for both you and your baby, and can often provide relief from pregnancy-related pain or discomfort. These are hands-on adjustments that are non-invasive, non-addictive, and all-natural. That means you can get pain relief without any medications or surgeries that can interfere with your pregnancy.
Your prenatal chiropractic appointments will be tailored specifically for you, based on your individual health needs and your pregnancy.
After the initial assessment, Dr. Ernest Luong will develop a treatment plan which may include gentle adjustments, stretches, massage, or other therapies to help further reduce pressure on your nerves, achieve optimal spinal alignment, and improve your health during pregnancy. These treatments are designed to improve your overall health and well-being during pregnancy for you and your baby.
Seeing a Chiropractor After Pregnancy
Some people choose to see a chiropractor after they give birth, to help with the healing process. This can be very beneficial for new mothers, as the added stress of pregnancy and childbirth can often lead to back pain or other problems.
Postnatal chiropractic care can help to realign your spine, improve your posture, and relieve any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing from childbirth. It’s important to note that postnatal chiropractic care is different from prenatal care, as your body is going through different changes after you give birth. Be sure to disclose all relevant information to Dr. Ernest Luong so that they can best tailor your postnatal care.

Dr. Earnest and his staff provide excellent care. I'm a long-standing consumer of chiropractic treatment and greatly appreciate Dr. Earnest's skills -- both chiropractic and listening. My pain levels are down substantially, and my functionality is way up. I particularly appreciate that Dr. Earnest does not push pre-payment plans.
8/14/26 Update. I've been seeing Dr. Earnest for several months now. He remains a valuable member of my vare team. He's a great partner on my project to get my head screwed on straight.
Great experience at Resilience Chiropractic! The doctor was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The office is clean, modern, and has a very comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dr Ernest and staff are always so kind, they greet you very warmly when you first walk in and when you leave too. Dr Ernest listens to your pain and works with you to help you get better. After an adjustment I always feel a lot better than I walked in and am ready for work, being a dad, and life.
Was nervous to start going to a chiropractor and spent a lot of time researching educated doctors- so happy I found Resilience Chiro! Been coming here for about a year and Dr Luong is the best. I always feel better after my adjustments. The staff is friendly and always kind!
First time attending chiropractor and don’t know what to expect. So far my first appointment my consultation with Dr. Ernest went well, he listen and he had given me information. Right now just looking for alternative solution and have some kind of relief to my pain. I’m looking forward to my next appointment and hoping this will aid in my future wellness.
Super professional facility! They always have a warm greeting. I’ve been coming here for over 2 years on and off whenever I feel I need an adjustment. I’ve also brought my pregnant wife and my son for adjustments. I’ve recommended a lot of family and friends here. They all have great outcomes!
Dr. Ernest is amazing, and I highly recommend him! He's been a tremendous help whenever I've needed treatment and is just as great for keeping your body feeling its best with regular maintenance. This is your sign to book an appointment!
Went to the office for the first time to make an appointment and Dr. Luong made time for me that day. Friendly, relaxed environment. Clean and efficient operation. Walked out feeling younger. Will visit regularly going forward.
I been going to Resilience Chiropractic good amount of years now. It's great Chiropractor. Try it and give sometimes to see the results. You're body will be appreciate it.

Yesterday, my son and I had a great first visit to Resilience Chiropractic. The office was welcoming and professional, and Dr. Ernest was especially thoughtful and attentive. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel comfortable throughout. We’re looking forward to coming back!
Visit was quick and thorough! Extremely efficient and effective! Ernest was able to identify the issue and fix my complications! Will see Dr Luong again!
Dr Ernest Luong is an exceptional chiropractor and individual. He cares for your needs, is extremely understanding and patient, and wants to help you get back to where you were before and even more. 6 Stars if possible
Dr. Luong is a miracle worker!<br>I don’t know exact how he does it, but I know that he makes the pain go away. I’ve always been very leery about Chiropractic procedures, especially neck, cracking, but Dr. Luong does it in such a gentle and confident way, that I feel at ease and relaxed,, and the bottom line is when I walk out of his office I always feel better. His office is clean and comfortable, and his prices are quite reasonable.I have recommended him to several of my friends and family, and will continue to do so.
Such a knowledgeable, efficient and attentive chiropractor and staff. I’ve been treated with kindness and respect every time I’ve visited over the past several years, and left with feeling much better. 10/10 would recommend
I went to bed last night feeling better. My back pain had eased. I love the massage table and the decompression tables. I will be back next week for decompression.
Français venu pour travailler et pas de chance, je me fais mal au dos. Perdu, je prend rendez-vous le matin pour l'après-midi, incroyable. L'accueil est super et le médecin est d'un professionnalisme a tout épreuve, il m'a sauvé 😅. Merci beaucoup.
This is my first Chiropractor spot. I been going there since it first open. It help my body through alot pain. The work I do, it came with alot pain. Resilience Chiropractor is the place to recovery and tune up🙌.
I was in a car accident and have never been to a chiropractor. I realized I needed it bad. Saying I was terrified is an understatement. The staff and Chiropractor were amazing. Made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety. Another chiropractor i spoke to on the phone creeped me out. 10/10 definitely recommend!!!!

Dr. Ernest is an excellent chiropractor—professional caring, and very effective. I felt real relief after just a few visits. I always recommend him to my friends and families.
It was very professional and exactly what I needed. I haven’t been to a chiropractor in a while and i was very impressed with how cheerful the staff was and how attentive the Dr. was before, during and after the session. My wife was the one who went here first and I followed her lead after a few weeks. I’m glad I did. I will recommend this establishment to anyone in need of this service.
I've been dealing with a lower back pain for years, and it's been a constant struggle with certain movements. After a few visits here, I can already feel a noticeable difference. Movements that used to be painful are a more manageable, which has been a huge relief.<br>The staff at the office are very friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit a positive experience. The doctor is knowledgeable and takes time to understand what's going on and explain the treatment approach clearly.<br>Overall, I'm really encouraged by the progress of getting a chiropractic adjustment and would definitely recommend this place to anyone dealing with ongoing back pain.
Ernest is an absolute gem. He's kind, attentive, and careful, and I don't trust anyone else with my spine. I needed a good chiropractor after several injuries and after being harmed by other chiropractors. Ernest is great because he listens, will respect your wishes, and adjusts in a manner that is easy on the body. I have seen him regularly for 2 years at least. He also has great suggestions on muscle balancing that you can use in your exercise program. He's been an immense help to me in my recovery.
THE CHIROPRACTOR ABD HIS ASSISTANT ARE VERY NICE AND MAKE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN FOR MONTHS DUE TO A CAR ACCIDENT.WHEN I LEFT THERE I FELT SO RELIEVED FROM JUST ONE SESSION.EXCELLENT CHIROPRACTER
Everyone in the office are very pleasant and professional. I like the experience that I have received. They are always ready and on time for you. Very nice people...
We had such a wonderful experience at Resilience Chiropractic with Dr. Luong. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him and his team.<br><br>We brought our 17-month-old daughter in because she had a very sore arm and we were worried it might be broken. We are visiting from another country and don’t have insurance here, so we were quite anxious about what to do. The reception staff were unbelievably kind and helpful and managed to squeeze us in the same day, which meant so much to us.<br><br>Dr. Luong was incredibly patient and thorough with our daughter. He took the time to really figure out what was going on with her arm and even did an X-ray to rule out fractures and breaks and to make sure everything was okay. He was so gentle, calm, and kind with her, which immediately put us at ease as parents.<br><br>I also ended up getting an adjustment myself, and I felt immediate relief in my hips and back afterwards. It’s clear that Dr. Luong genuinely cares about his patients and the quality of care he provides.<br><br>This is easily one of the best chiropractic experiences I’ve had in a long time. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in the San Leandro area (or in The Bay Area in general) who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Luong and Resilience Chiropractic.
Loved going to Resilience Chiro, Doc always takes good care of his patients. Always a friendliest smile every time we come into their office. Staff is always excellent and the healing is real. Always love coming in for adjustments.
I found Dr. Ernest through a referral from another chiropractor and he has helped me tremendously with my shoulder and lower back issues! From the moment I walk through the door I feel welcomed, cared for and treated well. I highly recommend Dr. Ernest.
Always great 👍 and feel much better. When I go to Resilience Chiropractor, his the best Chiropractor. Go check him out u will feel much better if u have a back pain,shoulder,lower. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏
Dr. Ernest Luong has been very patient and thorough with his explanations! Everyone and the entire staff was very welcoming and friendly! This is the chiropractic center that I would highly recommend! I already even started talking about my experience with my friends and family after!
Resilience chiropractor it’s a great chiropractic center, great customer service from Moesha in the front desk, she is always smiling and make people feel welcome, the chiropractor Dr. Ernest Loung is a great doctor, he has help me to improved my quality of life, thanks to his care, my stiffness and numbness had improved in a 90 %, the pain in my legs and my back had almost completely disappeared, I’ll recommend this business to my family and friends, because they have very good equipment like the decompression machine that helps to gently stretch the spine creating negative pressure<br>That retracts bulging/ herniated discs and reduce nerve pressure. Overall this place it’s a hidden gem in San Leandro CA.
Went to the office for the first time to make an appointment and Dr. Luong made time for me that day. Friendly, relaxed environment. Clean and efficient operation. Walked out feeling younger. Will visit regularly going forward.
I usually go in for chiropractic care once or twice a year as a form of maintenance, and Resilience Chiropractic has consistently been a great experience. The environment is calm and professional, and the team takes the time to understand how your body is moving and functioning rather than rushing you through an appointment.<br><br>Each visit feels intentional and focused on helping me feel more aligned and mobile afterward. I appreciate that the approach is centered on long-term wellness and functionality, not just quick fixes. It’s the kind of place I trust when my body needs a reset and some thoughtful care.<br><br>Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for supportive, well-rounded chiropractic care in a comfortable setting.
I want to state that the office is very clean & the front desk MA is very respectful and sweet . The doctor is the best . I pulled muscle he made sure he explain my treatment and steps on how heal while coming to treatments and adjust me now I can walk without limping .
I have been a patient of Dr. Earnest since before he created Resilience Chiropractic.<br>I have been going to chiropractors since the late 1990's and he is the best!<br>He is knowledgeable and has the skills to help you.<br>Trust me, I am a big guy with multiple issues and he keeps me pain free and flexible.<br>I cannot recommend him enough.<br>He is by far the best.<br>Give him a try. You will be impressed!
Awesome first visit … welcoming / friendly and competent Staff<br>Dr. Luong heard me ,felt me and treated me in our first meeting and I had super positive results .. when I needed it the most . He has become my Chiropractor going forward!
