A Chiropractor Who Understands Moms, Kids, and Families
Pregnancy and childhood are incredible seasons of growth, change, and joy — but they can also bring unique challenges for the spine, muscles, and nervous system. At HealthSource Chiropractic Southwest Fort Worth, we believe those seasons shouldn’t be about “just getting through.” Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care, including Pediatric Chiropractic Care.
That’s why we’re proud to have Dr. Kyara Martinez on our team — a chiropractor who not only specializes in pregnancy and pediatric care but has also been on the journey herself. As a former doula, a new mom, and a bilingual provider (English & Spanish), Dr. Martinez connects with families from all walks of life and communicates in the language they feel most comfortable with.
She understands the physical demands of pregnancy, the recovery after childbirth, and the unique needs of growing children — all while ensuring patients feel heard, respected, and cared for.
Why Dr. Martinez Specializes in Pregnancy & Pediatric Chiropractic
Pediatric Chiropractic Care is essential for ensuring the well-being of children as they grow and develop.
Dr. Martinez’s passion for this specialty began during her time as a doula. She witnessed firsthand the toll pregnancy and birth can take on a woman’s body — and how gentle chiropractic care could help. She also saw how adjustments could make a difference in newborns struggling with feeding, sleeping, or tension from the birthing process.
She has completed extensive training in:
- Webster Technique – A specialized approach that balances the pelvis and may improve comfort during pregnancy and labor.
- Pediatric Chiropractic Adjusting – Gentle, low-force methods safe for newborns, toddlers, and older children.
- Postpartum Recovery Support – Care designed to restore core strength, stability, and spinal alignment after childbirth.
“Pregnancy and childhood are such formative stages for the spine and nervous system. My goal is to support moms and children so they can enjoy these seasons with less pain, better function, and more joy — and being bilingual helps me make those connections with more families in our Fort Worth community.”
Chiropractic Programs for the Entire Motherhood Journey
One of the most unique things about Dr. Martinez’s approach is that she creates complete chiropractic care programs for moms — designed to carry them through their entire pregnancy and into postpartum recovery.
These programs include:
- First Trimester: Relieving early pregnancy discomfort, supporting spinal and pelvic alignment to adapt to changing posture.
- Second Trimester: Maintaining flexibility, addressing mid-back strain from breast changes, and preventing sciatic nerve irritation as the belly grows.
- Third Trimester: Using Webster Technique to encourage optimal pelvic alignment for delivery and easing hip, pelvic, and low back pain.
- Postpartum Recovery: Restoring pelvic balance, supporting core stability, easing neck/shoulder tension from nursing and baby care, and helping moms regain mobility and energy.
Patients appreciate having a personalized, trimester-by-trimester care plan instead of just “coming in when it hurts.” This proactive approach helps moms stay active, improve sleep, and recover faster after birth.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Southwest Fort Worth
Pregnancy is beautiful — but it can also bring aches, pains, and mobility challenges. Hormonal changes loosen ligaments, weight shifts forward, and posture adapts to a growing belly. These changes can strain the lower back, hips, and even the neck.
Benefits of seeing Dr. Martinez during pregnancy include:
- Relieving lower back pain, hip pain, and sciatica
- Supporting optimal pelvic alignment for labor and delivery
- Reducing tension headaches and upper back strain
- Improving mobility and balance as the body changes
- Potentially shortening labor times by supporting proper fetal positioning
Local moms from Overton Ridge, Mira Vista, and Benbrook trust Dr. Martinez to help them stay comfortable and active throughout all three trimesters — and beyond.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care — Gentle Support for Growing Bodies
Children may bounce back quickly from bumps and tumbles, but their spines and nervous systems are still developing — and they’re not immune to stress or misalignment.
Common reasons parents bring their children to Dr. Martinez:
- Infants: Torticollis, colic, latching/feeding issues, sleep disturbances
- Toddlers: Frequent falls, balance concerns, ear infections, digestive discomfort
- School-age kids: Heavy backpacks, posture problems from screens, sports injuries
- Teens: Rapid growth spurts, athletic performance care, tension headaches
All pediatric adjustments are extremely gentle — often using only fingertip pressure or specialized tools that require no twisting or popping.
Postpartum Chiropractic Care for New Moms
The postpartum period is one of the most physically demanding stages for mothers — yet it’s often overlooked in traditional healthcare. Dr. Martinez knows this well, both professionally and personally.
She helps new moms by:
- Restoring pelvic balance after delivery
- Addressing back, neck, and shoulder pain from nursing and baby care
- Improving core strength and stability
- Reducing tension headaches from sleep deprivation and posture strain
Why Chiropractic Care is Safe for Moms & Kids
When performed by a chiropractor with specialized training — like Dr. Martinez — pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic care is both safe and comfortable.
At HealthSource Chiropractic Southwest Fort Worth, we use:
- Special pregnancy tables and pillows for expecting moms
- Gentle, low-force techniques for newborns and children

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association supports chiropractic care as a valuable part of a wellness lifestyle for mothers and children.
