Chiropractic During Pregnancy
Chiropractic can help you adapt to these changes and make the pregnancy journey a little less challenging.
Expecting mothers need all systems working at 100% to help make sure a baby’s development is not hindered.
Potential benefits for pregnant mums include:
- Less back or spine pain or discomfort, which can occur as a result of physiological and postural changes and due to the fact that all your ligaments become more lax.
- Improved pelvic floor control. The pelvic floor muscles are known to have active roles in pregnancy and childbirth, as well as in spinal stabilisation.
- Improved pelvic alignment, this becomes especially important towards the later stages of pregnancy and then delivery.
- Shorter labour times
- All will help towards better, more comfortable, pregnancy and birth.
We have very modern, comfortable and specially designed tables that allow expecting mums to lay comfortably on their tummy while getting their spine and nerve system checked.
