PREGNANCY, MOTHERHOOD & BABY CHIROPRACTIC
The journey to and through motherhood is challenging for even the most straight-forward pregnancy, birth and feeding journey. It can be taxing on the body in many ways and Chiropractic care can be a great option to support you and ensure you don't have to suffer through without prioritising your own wellbeing. Additionally, baby and toddler chiropractic can help to support the growth and development of a healthy spine and ensure musculoskeletal function.
PREGNANCY CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic techniques aim to help ease musculoskeletal aches and pains that pregnancy commonly brings.
Working harmoniously with your Obstetrician, Midwife and women's health Physiotherapist, chiropractic care addresses the musculoskeletal causes of rib, pelvic, back and spine pain during pregnancy. Additionally, for some people, may provide adequate relief to reduce the need for pain medication for those musculoskeletal conditions.
