Pregnant Women
Chiropractic Care Through Every Trimester
Roughly a third of the people in our waiting room on any given morning are pregnant or have been recently. It's one of the things we're known for locally, and it means nobody here is going to be surprised by anything you turn up with.
Mostly talking. How far along you are, what’s sore, what your midwife has said, what you’ve already tried, what you’re worried about. Then a physical assessment.
Treatment is adapted for pregnancy. We use a table with a section that drops away, or we work with you lying on your side, so there's never any pressure on your bump. If you've had chiropractic before, this will feel gentler than you're expecting.
Back pain, neck pain, sciatica, hip and joint pain, muscle spasm, and the general achiness of carrying a load your frame hasn't carried before. Usually somewhere between the second and third trimester, though plenty of people come earlier.
The building is buggy friendly with baby change, which becomes relevant sooner than you think. Appointments can be booked online or by phone, and you're welcome to bring someone with you.
A lot of people carry on seeing us after the birth. The aches change shape rather than disappear, and there's a new set that comes from feeding and carrying a growing baby around. There's no expectation either way.
Midwives, GPs, obstetricians, doulas, physios. We're one part of the team around a pregnancy, not the centre of it. If something we find needs one of them rather than us, we'll say so.
