Pregnancy
Supporting You Through Every Stage of Pregnancy
Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it also brings significant changes to your body. As your baby grows, your posture, centre of gravity and movement patterns naturally adapt to accommodate these changes. It's common to experience aches and pains throughout pregnancy, particularly in the lower back, pelvis, hips and ribs.
At The Chiro Studio, we provide gentle, tailored chiropractic care to help you move more comfortably and support your body as it adapts throughout each stage of pregnancy.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, hormones such as relaxin help prepare your body for birth by allowing the ligaments to become more flexible. Combined with your growing bump and changes in posture, this can place additional stress on the spine, pelvis and surrounding muscles.
Many women choose chiropractic care to help manage pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomfort, improve mobility , optimise fetal positioning and support overall wellbeing during this special time.
Some common reasons pregnant women visit us include:
Lower back pain
Pelvic girdle pain
Hip pain
Sciatica
Round ligament discomfort
Rib pain
Neck and shoulder tension
Postural changes
Optimise fetal positioning / help with Breech positioning
General pregnancy-related aches and stiffness
Every pregnancy is unique, and your care will always be tailored to your individual needs and stage of pregnancy.
Gentle, Comfortable & Safe
Pregnancy chiropractic care is specifically adapted for both you and your baby. We use gentle techniques and pregnancy-specific positioning to ensure you're comfortable throughout your appointment. Special pregnancy cushions and positioning allow you to lie comfortably, even later in pregnancy.
Your chiropractor will complete a thorough assessment and explain your care plan, ensuring you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
The Webster Technique
Our chiropractors are trained in the Webster Technique - a specific chiropractic assessment and adjustment approach designed for pregnancy. The Webster Technique focuses on improving the function and movement of the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments, helping to reduce tension and support optimal pelvic balance throughout pregnancy.
Rather than attempting to "turn babies," the Webster Technique aims to improve the biomechanics of the pelvis, allowing both mum and baby to have the best possible environment for pregnancy and birth.
Caring for You Beyond Birth
Your body continues to recover long after your baby arrives. Feeding, carrying, lifting and the physical demands of caring for a newborn can place new stresses on your spine and muscles.
Postpartum chiropractic care can help support your recovery, improve comfort and help you return to the activities you love while caring for your growing family.
Whether you're newly pregnant, preparing for birth or navigating life with a newborn, we're here to support you every step of the way.
