Pregnancy Chiropractic
Ensuring our mums-to-be are healthy and pain-free during pregnancy is very important. Chiropractic is gentle, all natural care, which may help mum’s body stay comfortable.
The first question everyone asks about pregnancy chiropractic is how safe is it? Chiropractic care focuses on the maintenance and adjustment of joints in the spinal column. Without using surgery or drugs, chiropractic may reduce stress on the spine, which increases during pregnancy, allowing the body to maintain proper alignment.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care?
Pregnancy makes major changes to the body. The belly grows, weight increases, sway in the back gets bigger, curvature of the chest increases, and abdominal muscles lengthen.
How Chiropractic May Help
- Reduces tension—when mum’s ligaments relax, it allows the baby to be in the right position when she’s moving around. Sometimes, too much stress is placed on the ligaments, preventing the baby from moving. Adjustment can reduce stress and allow the baby to move.
- Reduces lower back pain—the extra weight women have to carry can cause pain. Chiropractic care may improve the posture of the spine as the baby grows, and prevents discomfort. Our mums have also reported relief from headaches, back, chest, and neck pain, and tight hip muscles.
What to Expect
The chiropractor examines each woman extensively to find the root cause of their symptoms. After the consultation and examination, we create a customised care program for your situation. If multidisciplinary care is necessary, we’ll refer you to someone in our network. We work in cooperation with many health professionals, including massage therapists, general practitioners, and psychologists.
We understand it can be hard to find comfortable positions as your pregnancy progresses. At West Perth Chiro, we have extra facilities for your comfort. These include special pregnancy pillows, and tables that adjust for your belly, allowing you to lie on your stomach or side. We also provide pregnancy massage.
