Pregnancy is normally a healthy, exciting and cherished time. However, the increased stresses on the female body can cause pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care can help to reduce these symptoms.

Increased demands are placed on the body through:

• Changes in hormone levels, causing ligaments to relax to allow for growth
• Increased weight from the growing baby
• Changes in posture
• Changes in normal pre-pregnancy activity levels
• Abnormal foetal positioning
• Labour and post-birth stresses

Symptoms can include back pain, sciatica, headaches, pubic symphysis pain and many more.  Gentle chiropractic care aims to restore misaligned joints. This can significantly benefit the mother’s experience of being pregnant, reducing discomfort and contributing to a healthier and happier mother and child.
