Pregnancy

Possibly one of the most important times to receive chiropractic care for a woman is during pregnancy. From conception the body can undergo quite the change with changes in posture, muscle tone and ligamentous stability/tension – the result can be undesired discomforts and even pain.

The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae all of which attach to various muscles and ligaments and other bony anatomy. The spine is also a vitally important anatomical structure which carries the nervous system and all its relevant communication. Chiropractors believe keeping the body in balance and making sure all of the above are working harmoniously is important to health and what better time to take care of this than when you are pregnant.

Chiropractic has the upmost regard to safety and recognises the important of taking care of pregnant ladies with gentle techniques. We can even adjust the bench accordingly with professionally designed pregnancy pillows to suit your needs.

Common symptoms we come across in pregnant ladies present with discomforts relates to the back/pelvis, groin, hip, ribs, head and neck.

If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.
