Supporting Prenatal & Postpartum Women with Chiropractic at Performx

Pregnancy, birth, and recovery are some of the most transformative — and physically demanding — seasons of life. At Performx in Independence, Oregon, we believe moms deserve the same high-level support and outcome-driven care that we provide to athletes across the Willamette Valley.

That’s why Dr. Emily Kreifels, a sports chiropractor, triathlete, and mom herself, specializes in perinatal chiropractic care. She’s been through pregnancy and postpartum firsthand and knows just how much the body changes during that time. Her mission: to help women move, feel, and perform their best during every stage of motherhood.

Whether you’re in your first trimester, prepping for delivery, or finding your footing postpartum, chiropractic care can help you:

• Stay active and strong throughout pregnancy

• Relieve common pain points like back, hip, or pelvic discomfort

• Support pelvic balance for smoother labor and delivery

• Recover faster and return confidently to exercise postpartum

At Performx, it’s never just about the treatment itself — it’s about what you’re able to do because of it. That means hiking with your family, training for your next race, or simply moving through daily life with less pain and more confidence.
