Pregnancy care
We support women in caring for themselves during pregnancy and in preparing for childbirth. The common experience of pain and discomfort in pregnancy is usually due to musculoskeletal imbalances which respond well to chiropractic treatment. By restoring and maintaining balance during pregnancy, we improve physical ease and guide women towards a more confident childbirth experience.
After the birth we help the mother to return to her pre-pregnancy state: recovery is quicker when the pelvis is balanced. We advise on posture when lifting, carrying and feeding the baby. We help with problems with breastfeeding.
Some typical conditions for which we provide care:
Back and neck pain
Leg pain/sciatica
Pins and needles or numbness in the lower extremity
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Heartburn & indigestion
Shortness of breath
Rib pain
Difficulty walking
Symphysis pubis dysfunction
Back labour

Haemorrhoids
Coccyx pain
Difficulty sitting
Premature contractions
Recurrent mastitis related to problems with latching on
