PREGNANT MUMS
You are growing an incredible little miracle inside you, and your deepest wish is that this tiny being gets the best possible start at life.
Or maybe it’s that your lower back aches, you’ve got heartburn and your pelvic pain is starting to interrupt your sleep. There’s a good chance it’s all of the above…
The changes that take place in a woman’s body during pregnancy are nothing short of miraculous. Such changes might be the most poignant example of the brilliance of our human bodies and the intelligence of nature itself.
These rapid changes to an expectant mother’s pelvis, abdomen and organs, and her spine can very often lead to discomfort, pain, or other related symptoms. The severity of pain varies greatly from woman to woman and even pregnancy to pregnancy.
Common challenges during pregnancy include:
back pain (lower, middle or upper back)
pelvic and/or pubic pain
pelvic floor issues
digestive problems
heartburn or reflux
muscle and joint aches
fatigue
Chiropractic care, when provided by trained and skilled chiropractors, can be an incredibly helpful tool to help alleviate or manage symptoms naturally(1).
Women who seek chiropractic care during their first pregnancy have been reported to have, on average, a 25% reduction in labour times while those on subsequent pregnancies have been reported experiencing reductions averaging 31% (2).
Our chiropractors and team are not only trained and skilled in caring for pregnant women (and their newborns), we’re also super passionate about it!
Call us today if you have any questions, or simply book online. We look forward to welcoming you and supporting you on your journey through pregnancy and beyond.
