Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Canberra
Pregnancy is a remarkable life-changing time, but it also brings about significant changes to a woman’s body. The shifting centre of gravity and added strain on the spine, pelvis, joints, ligaments, and muscles often result in discomfort and pain. Chiropractic care during this period aims to address these issues, providing relief and promoting overall wellbeing of mum and bub(s).
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
As the body changes throughout pregnancy, especially from around 20 weeks onward, the increased weight and shifting centre of gravity can lead to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care supports the body through these changes by maintaining flexibility, stability, and strength. This care may help to reduce complications and ensure a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
Many expectant mothers experience lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica as their pregnancy progresses. Regular chiropractic adjustments can provide natural pain relief without the need for medication, making it a safe option for both mum and baby.
What to Expect During Pregnancy Chiropractic Visits
Chiropractic visits typically involve a thorough history and examination, followed by gentle adjustments focused on the ligaments and pelvic area. These adjustments create room for the baby to move freely and help open up the pelvis, facilitating an easier delivery. Ensuring proper alignment also allows for easier movement of the baby into the optimal head-down position for delivery.
Your chiropractor will use specially designed tables and techniques that accommodate your growing belly, ensuring comfort and safety throughout each session. Treatment plans are tailored to your specific needs and adjust as your pregnancy progresses.
