Pregnancy Chiropractic in the North Shore
Expecting mums have a lot going on in their bodies—from weight gain to a shifting centre of gravity to hormonal upheaval—and all of that change is challenging for your skeletal system to adapt to.
Chiropractic care can help alleviate pregnancy-related aches and pains by restoring optimal function and movement to the spine and pelvis. Research shows that pregnant women who receive regular chiropractic adjustments enjoy faster labours with a lower incidence of medical interventions.
Our Approach
Our focus is always on your comfort! We use pregnancy cushions to ensure that you are comfortable lying face-down for your adjustments. We also employ specialised adjusting techniques that can be performed while you are sitting or standing, if lying down is uncomfortable for you.
We also utilise the Webster Technique, which is a specific method of analysis and adjustment to help balance the sacrum and pelvis to reduce uterine constraint. When the pelvis is properly aligned, there is more room for the uterus, which means there is more room for your baby to get into the optimal position for birth. Naturally, we don’t X-ray pregnant women, and our entire examination and adjusting process is very gentle.
Benefits for Baby
By correcting spinal misalignments to reduce nervous system tension, we strive to help reduce overall stress in Mum—and when Mum is feeling less stressed, Baby’s stress is also decreased.
Postpartum Care
We love to see new mums as soon as they’re ready, so we can help restore optimal spinal alignment after the stresses of childbirth. We also check babies soon after birth to ensure their spine is healthy and their nervous system can function as it should.
