Chiropractic care in pregnancy
Here to make your journey into motherhood as painless as possible.
Prenatal chiropractic care is a gentle way to promote comfort, minimise pain, and support the natural birthing process.
Chiropractic treatment can play an important role as you and your baby develop together, by ensuring that your spine and nervous system can work to their very best.
How can chiropractic care help me during pregnancy?
Both pregnancy and birth are natural and wonderful processes, however, it is normal that your body will be under new and different stresses during the course of your pregnancy, birth, and beyond. With not only your own health and well-being to think about pregnant women are often reluctant to take any over-the-counter pain relief or medication, they often turn to chiropractic care to help alleviate pains associated with pregnancy.
What does prenatal chiropractic care involve?
We treat lots of pregnant mums to be, having a special interest and completing additional post-graduate training.
Treatment involves specific techniques to encourage realignment of your spine and pelvis. Not only will this reduce pain but will also increase the space the baby has to move around in, encouraging your baby to settle into the best possible in-utero position.
Who can have prenatal chiropractic care?
Expectant mums can have chiropractic care at all stages of pregnancy. Whether you are experiencing pain before you are even showing, or when your bump is so big you cannot see your toes anymore, or even if you are just looking to make sure your body is functioning to its best chiropractic care can help.
