Pregnancy and early motherhood bring incredible changes — for your body, your lifestyle, and your family.
Along with these changes can come new physical demands, discomforts, and adjustments as you and your baby grow together. Chiropractic care during this time offers a safe, gentle way to support both you and your little one.
From pregnancy through postpartum and beyond, chiropractic care offers a natural, supportive way to care for both mother and child. Every stage is approached with care, safety, and respect for your body’s needs, helping you and your family thrive.
During Pregnancy
As your baby grows, your posture, balance, and spinal alignment naturally shift. This can place added strain on your back, hips, and pelvis. Our chiropractic care is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, helping to relieve tension, improve mobility, and support optimal alignment — creating more space and comfort for both you and your baby. Many mums-to-be also find care helpful in preparing for birth.
For Your Newborn
Birth is a big journey for babies too. Gentle chiropractic care can help support your baby’s developing spine and nervous system, encouraging healthy movement, comfort, and growth right from the start. Our approach is gentle, safe, and always adapted for newborns and infants.
After Birth
Postnatal recovery is a time of healing and adjustment. The demands of feeding, lifting, and caring for your newborn can place new stresses on your spine, shoulders, and core. Chiropractic care helps restore balance, stability, and strength so you can feel more comfortable and confident in your recovery.
