Chiropractic during Pregnancy🤰
Why do patients choose to seek Chiropractic care during Pregnancy 👇
1. For a general assessment
Many pregnant patients choose to come in for an assessment without any pain at all, sometimes referred by their midwife or self referred - to ensure they have good movement and function in preparation for the rest of their pregnancy, labour and post-partum! Both giving birth and caring for a newborn are very physically demanding, so Chiropractic care can help to ensure you are functioning at your best throughout this time!
2. To manage pregnancy-related discomfort or dysfunction.
Common complaints include:
• Postural changes
• Restricted movement
• Lower back and hip pain
• Pelvic girdle dysfunction (PGD)
• P***c symphysis dysfunction (SPD)
• Sciatica
• Neck and shoulder dysfunction
The issues listed above are very common during pregnancy due to changes in posture, weight distribution, and ligament laxity caused by hormonal changes, for example the increased presence of hormones such as relaxin and progesterone.
HOW Chiropractic can Help 🙌🏼
- Gentle adjustments, joint mobilisations, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation to help the body adapt to pregnancy, alleviating dysfunction, reducing pain and improving mobility and strength.
❓Ever wondered how you can have Chiropractic treatment whilst you’ve got a bump? - We have specialist pregnancy treatment pillows which allow space for your bump so you can lie comfortably on the bed from early pregnancy right through to full term at 40+ weeks! (See the picture below!)
When can I see a Chiropractor during pregnancy?
You can see our chiropractors anytime from when you first find out you are expecting up until your baby is born – there is no cut off point for care and Chiropractic care is simply adapted to your stage of pregnancy to be very safe, gentle and effective throughout.
