Dr. Hector Martinez, DC is Webster Certified through the ICPA — providing safe, gentle chiropractic care for pregnant patients at every stage of pregnancy in Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, and Palatine.
Dr. Martinez has pursued advanced training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). He is Webster Technique certified — a specific chiropractic protocol designed to analyze and address pelvic balance during pregnancy.
Proper pelvic alignment allows the uterus and surrounding ligaments to function optimally, creating the most room for your baby to move and position for delivery. Many OB-GYNs, midwives, and doulas in the Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg area refer their patients to Dr. Martinez for prenatal chiropractic care.
Prenatal chiropractic at Tri Modern Health is performed using specialized equipment that safely accommodates your growing belly — no pressure on the abdomen at any stage of pregnancy.
Pregnancy places significant stress on the spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles. Chiropractic care addresses the physical changes your body goes through at every trimester.
Your first prenatal visit is approximately one hour. Dr. Martinez will review your health history, OB or midwife care, current symptoms, and trimester-specific needs before designing your care plan.
Treatment uses specialized pregnancy pillows and tables that allow you to lie comfortably face-down without any pressure on your abdomen. Adjustments are gentle and adapted to your body's current stage of pregnancy.
Many patients begin prenatal chiropractic in the second trimester when discomfort typically begins, though care can start at any point during pregnancy — or before conception as part of preconception care.
Book Your VisitDelivery — whether vaginal or cesarean — places significant stress on the body. Many of Dr. Martinez's prenatal patients continue chiropractic care postpartum to support recovery. Postpartum chiropractic focuses on restoring pelvic alignment, addressing posture changes from nursing, and rebuilding core stability.

"Dr. Martinez and staff are so professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. I came in for an adjustment after my pregnancy and I've never felt better. They got me back to normal and feeling like myself again."
"Dr. Martinez has been helping me with pregnancy mood and anxiety issues using acupuncture — it has been amazing! It took two treatments to resolve most of the symptoms."
