Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy
Understanding how chiropractic care can help you through pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not just about alleviating pain or discomfort; it’s about optimising the body’s function to ensure a smoother pregnancy experience and preparing for a more natural, and easier birthing process.
With the guidance of our skilled team, we offer chiropractic care tailored to the needs of pregnant women, ensuring safety, comfort, and effectiveness.
Through gentle adjustments, education, and supportive care, we aim to empower expecting mothers, giving them the confidence and health foundation to embrace this beautiful journey.

Improved posture: Helping manage the changes in posture that your body goes through during pregnancy.
Reduced Uterine Constraint: Proper pelvic alignment can give the baby more room to grow and move.
Optimal Baby Positioning: Webster’s technique is a chiropractic technique that addresses the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding musculature and ligament imbalances to reduce tension that could otherwise restrict the baby’s movement in the womb.
How does a pregnant woman get adjusted?
Chiropractic pregnancy pillows are pillows with a hole in the centre, this allows you to lie on your front without putting pressure on your baby.
We can also adjust you lying on your side, or seated, whichever you are the most comfortable with. Ensuring you are comfortable during our appointments is very important to our team.
