Chiropractic for Pregnancy

So many baby and pregnancy books are focused on the practical aspects of pregnancy and birth as you would expect. What is often overlooked is how tough pregnancy and motherhood is on mums’ spine and nervous system.  From the changes in body shape and hormones it’s a tough gig, but we get you. 

We know that when you are up breast feeding all night constantly looking down, it plays havoc on your neck and mid back.  We know that if you’ve had a c section and you are running a home and chasing after other kids, you need all the power and support you can get. Skilled chiropractic adjustments assist in this, making your super important job just a little easier. 

We also know how tough a long labour can be on both mum and her newborn baby.  We know through research, along with our own experience, that the longer the duration of labour the more problems babies can have.  Many mums will only bring their babies to a chiropractor as a last resort, but when you know what we know you will get them checked not long after birth.  It’s the greatest start you can give them.  

Pre-Conception

Chiropractic care prepares the body to be as strong, supple and balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy.

During Pregnancy

At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system can help both mother and child. Many pregnant patients often report shorter, more pleasant deliveries when they receive chiropractic care.

Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy appeals to mothers who seek a natural approach to better health in pregnancy and beyond.

Labour and Birth

Many rely on chiropractic care to help assure optimum biomechanics of the hips and spine in the hopes of reducing the need for medical interventions during the birth process.

After Birth

Even natural births can stress a baby’s spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby has a subluxation and is unable to comfortably turn its head to one side. Our team holds advanced training in paediatric chiropractics and we use special approaches to make our adjustments safe and comfortable for you and your child.
