Pregnancy

How can we help pregnant women?

Not only are our chiropractors skilled at helping pregnant women, they are also parents themselves, and understand the issues that may arise during pregnancy including:

• Low back pain - very common during pregnancy. One of the major causes of this pain is the change in posture and stress from increased weight pulling on the low back.
• Pelvic instability - is a condition that causes pelvic girdle pain during and after pregnancy. The joints affected include the pubic joint at the front and the two pelvic joints at the back.

Our chiropractic care for pregnant women may include:

• Special pregnancy pillows that enable a fully pregnant woman to lie on their front comfortably
• Modified spinal and muscle release techniques to suit pregnant women
• Gentle techniques

In uncomplicated pregnancies, moderate low impact exercise for 30 mins each day has also shown to be beneficial.
