Chiropractic care is health maintenance of the spinal column, discs, related nerves and bone geometry without drugs or surgery. It involves the art and science of adjusting misaligned joints of the body, especially of the spine, which reduces spinal nerve stress and therefore promotes health throughout the body.

Is Chiropractic safe during Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care is safe to undertake throughout the pregnancy. Our Chiropractors are trained to work with women who are pregnant or trying to conceive and tailor the treatment to account for how far a long into the pregnancy you are. Chiropractors that have been trained to work with pregnant women may use tables that adjust for a pregnant woman’s body and will use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen as may provide exercises and / or stretches that are safe to use during pregnancy.

Why should I have Chiropractic during Pregnancy?

Chiropractic addresses the aches & pains due to musculoskeletal changes associated with pregnancy. A common example is low back pain due to the stress on the low back curvature with protruding abdomen as the pregnancy gets further along.  Due to the increased stress on the body throughout pregnancy, maintaining good spinal health will simply help the entire body work more effectively.

What are the benefits of Chiropractic Care during Pregnancy?

Chiropractic can provide a more comfortable pregnancy by addressing any musculoskeletal pain and discomfort you may be experiencing due to the associated changes with your body.
