Pregnancy is a lot. Your body is doing something extraordinary and doing it fast. The physical changes that occur over this time can place significant strain on the pelvis, lower back and hips. For many women, this means experiencing pain, which is often dismissed as just part of pregnancy. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Gentle Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on maintaining the movement of the pelvis and spine as your body evolves. When joints move freely and surrounding muscles aren’t overloaded, Pregnancy can be significantly more comfortable.
It’s about more than just pain relief
A well balanced pelvis supports more than just your comfort during pregnancy. As you approach labor, pelvic alignment and mobility may also play a crucial role in creating space for your baby and enhancing your body’s ability to give birth effectively. This isn’t about putting pressure on yourself to do everything right; it’s about giving your body the best chance to do what it’s naturally designed to do.
Care across every trimester
Pregnancy changes week by week, and so does our approach to care. What’s appropriate in the first trimester differs from what’s effective in the third. We adapt each treatment to your current state, how you’re feeling, how your body is responding and what’s most beneficial at each stage. Every woman’s pregnancy is unique and our Pregnancy Chiropractic care is tailored specifically to you.
Gentle and specific techniques
All care during pregnancy is designed to be safe and comfortable. We utilize gentle hands-on techniques, activator-assisted adjustments, soft tissue work and cranio-sacral therapy, carefully selected based on your body’s responses. There’s no heavy pressure, no high-velocity adjustments and no positions that feel uncomfortable for your bump. Our treatment table accommodates your belly, allowing you to lie comfortably on your front during your treatments.

We work alongside your existing care team, whether that’s a midwife, obstetrician, GP or other healthcare provider. We believe that collaborative care is the best care!
