About This Treatment
Chiropractic care during pregnancy
Pregnancy places significant physical demands on the body. Our chiropractors have extensive experience supporting patients through pregnancy — from the early weeks through to the final trimester. We use techniques specifically suited to pregnancy to help manage the musculoskeletal discomforts that commonly arise at each stage.
What to expect
Treatment is adapted to each stage of pregnancy using techniques that are appropriate for both mother and baby. We use specialised positioning and low-force methods throughout — no technique that places pressure on the abdomen is used. Sessions are gentle, supportive and unhurried. Where relevant, our chiropractors are happy to liaise with your midwife or obstetrician.
We also see patients from across greater Sydney who are looking for a pregnancy chiropractor with experience in prenatal care closer to home.
Conditions we may help with
Our chiropractors commonly see patients during pregnancy presenting with:
- Back and lower back pain
- Pelvic girdle pain and pelvic instability
- Hip pain and sciatica
- Round ligament pain
- Pubic symphysis dysfunction (SPD)
- Upper back and rib discomfort
- Postural changes and associated muscle tension
- General musculoskeletal discomfort associated with the physical demands of pregnancy
When can I start?
Chiropractic care may be appropriate at any stage of pregnancy. Many patients begin in the first trimester when postural changes and discomfort first appear, though care can commence at any point. At your first appointment our chiropractors will take a full history, assess your specific situation and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
