Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential ingredient to your prenatal care choices. At Putney Chiropractic Centre we see lots of pregnant mums-to-be and strive to offer you more information about your body, your choices and how to be on your best form during your pregnancy and birth.

Webster's pregnancy technique is practiced by all the Chiropractors at Putney. This technique is designed to ensure there is minimal uterine/pelvic constraint which can be a factor in your baby being in the breech position. The technique is gentle and does not attempt to physically turn the baby but works on the mum to promote a relaxed pelvis, lower back and uterine ligaments.

Personal recommendations
Many widwives refer their clients to us, and also their new babies. We are proud that many midwives also visit us for chiropractic care. Natalie van Rooyen is an independent midwife with Yours Maternally:

As a Midwife I recommend chiropractic treatment to all of my client's. In my experience, antenatal adjustments promote general well being, manage common pregnancy ailments and improve birth outcomes. Postnatal treatment aids a smooth recovery for mothers and treatment for babies can improve feeding and facilitate a calmer child.

The benefits of chiropractic are numerous. I not only advocate chiropractic treatment for childbearing but as a continuous lifestyle choice for the entire family. Putney Chiropractic Centre specialises in pregnancy and newborns and will provide a professional and family friendly service.

If you would like to read a personal experience of a client who enjoyed a great pregnancy and birth with regular chiropractic care please see Rebecca's story.

Restore pelvic balance
Doctors of Chiropractic work on your spine and pelvisduring pregnancy attempting to promote balanced movement and alignment, together with relaxed muscles and ligaments.

So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted, causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus.
