Pregnancy Care

The team at the Australian Children’s Chiropractic Centre will guide you from preconception care right through to the fourth trimester and beyond. Providing care and support as your body changes and your baby grows.

Although pain is not ideal and disruptive to life,  it is not the problem! Pain is your body's message that something underneath needs attention. We help you find the functional cause for long-term change so you can enjoy your pregnancy. 

Back & Pelvic Pain during Pregnancy

As your baby grows, there is additional stress on your spine and pelvis. This will be reflected in your posture and may exacerbate underlying spinal and pelvic dysfunction.  Just like in the non-pregnancy population, chiropractic care may help you reduce back pain by restoring optimal function to the spine and nervous system. 

As your baby grows, your pelvis will start to change thanks to the pregnancy hormones and expansion of tissues around your baby. Your ligaments will lengthen, and you may find that you feel very different when you sit, stand, move and bend.

Our chiropractors have extensive collective knowledge supporting you and the specific changes that occur during all trimesters of pregnancy. During our Pregnancy Assessments, we will look at your pelvic alignment and how it relates to the soft tissues attached to it, including the ligaments that attach to the uterus. We use the Webster Technique along with other pregnancy-specific techniques and adjustments that adapt and modify through every stage of pregnancy.
