Pregnancy and New Babies

This clinic provides specialist care in this area. Regular chiropractic prior to and throughout pregnancy can help with the birthing process. Partners also can be trained to help at the birth.

During your pregnancy your pelvis undergoes a lot of strain. If you have joint pain at the bottom of your pelvis at the front you may have Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. This is a separation of the joint which can easily be corrected at this clinic. This usually takes 2-3 visits.

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) can be due to any joint around the pelvis or lower back and again can be helped considerably with 2-3 visits. More visits may be necessary if the problem is more complex or you have had previous injuries.

There is a hormone which is released during pregnancy which loosens joints. It is called relaxin. This is to help your body cope with the changes going on and to allow the baby pass through the birth canal. As you go about your daily activities, your joints can easily become very slightly separated and need adjusting by a chiropractor to keep you free of pain and discomfort.

These adjustments are very gentle.
