Pregnancy - an amazing journey

If you’ve recently become pregnant, congratulations. You’re about to embark on a nine-month journey with plenty of emotions and ups and downs. There are many approaches you can take along the way, but the goal is the same for everyone to be your healthiest and to give your child the best possible start to life. We love supporting women through this time.

Pregnancy brings significant hormonal and physical change. As your baby grows, the extra weight increases the load on your body, while hormonal changes relax the ligaments of your spine and pelvis. Your centre of gravity shifts, your posture adapts, and the lower back and pelvis take on extra work.

Our goal is to help your body function without interference. We see pregnancy as a natural, wonderful process, and we’re passionate about supporting you through it. We use chiropractic tables that let us care for you comfortably as you grow through each trimester and X-rays are never used in pregnancy care.

Increased load on your body as your baby grows.
Relaxing spinal and pelvic ligaments.
An increased lower-back curve as weight moves forward.
Low back discomfort as pregnancy progresses.
Extra stress on the sacro-iliac (pelvis) joints.
Pelvic hypermobility and instability.
The need for comfortable, supported movement.

Chiropractic seeks to help your body function without interference, so you can move and feel more comfortably through your pregnancy.
