Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Supporting Comfort, Balance, and Mobility Throughout Your Pregnancy
Surrounding the spine and uterus are a complex system of joints, nerves, muscles, and ligaments that work together to keep the pelvis balanced and stable. During pregnancy, the body produces hormones (such as relaxin) that help loosen ligaments and joints to accommodate the growing baby.
While these changes are natural and necessary, they can also disrupt the stability of the pelvis and spine, leading to postural changes — such as increased curvature in the lower back and rounding of the upper back. These adaptations can contribute to a range of musculoskeletal complaints during pregnancy.

Treatment
Safe and Gentle Treatment for Every Trimester
We use specialised, pregnancy-safe techniques tailored to your stage of pregnancy, allowing you to receive care throughout all trimesters. Our approach is gentle, respectful, and focused on restoring balance in the pelvis, relieving tension, and supporting optimal function.
Following a detailed consultation and physical examination, the chiropractor will determine whether treatment is appropriate or whether a referral (e.g. to a GP or physiotherapist) is necessary.
In most cases, treatment can begin immediately. Using precise chiropractic adjustments, we help support proper pelvic alignment and provide practical advice and exercises to promote a more comfortable pregnancy.
