Many women will experience back and spinal problems during their pregnancy. We are trained in gentle techniques tailored for Mum and baby.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Many women experience pain and discomfort during pregnancy. This is not surprising since Mum must accommodate the constantly shifting volume of extra weight, most of which is carried in front of her.
It is important to maintain pelvic balance and alignment during your pregnancy, so there is enough room for your baby to grow. This may also help your baby get into the best possible position for delivery.
Your expanded uterus may be pushing against internal organs, causing physiological stress. This, in turn, can trap various nerves and impinge upon structural and muscular systems resulting in a variety of pregnancy related back, muscle and joint pains. Chiropractic care is a great way to manage this pain.

Pregnancy Chiro:
The Webster Technique
Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More women and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care in pregnancy and recognize this area of expertise through Webster Certification.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated. Pregnancy need not be a time of pain and discomfort. It is possible to have a pain-free pregnancy.
