Pregnancy, Babies and Children

Pregnancy Care

Seeing a Chiropractor or an Osteopath during your pregnancy is a great way to help keep you and your baby healthy during such a critical time. Due to gravitational and hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy this can often result in back pain and pelvic pain. We use gentle techniques to alleviate your pain that are appropriate for your stage of pregnancy. Chiropractic during pregnancy can not only reduce pain but reduce pain during labour and labour time! We can care for you and your family: during pregnancy, babies and children

There is an ever growing body of research demonstrating the many benefits of gentle paediatric chiropractic care. Take a look.

Care For Babies

As much as we all want a smooth sailing, natural birth for our mum’s and babies it’s know that often this isn’t the case and babies can therefore experience quite a traumatic start to life. It’s a great idea to bring your baby in to see us for a post birth check-up to make sure their nervous system is working to its optimum!

Is my baby’s treatment similar to the chiropractic treatment I receive?

No! There is no ‘cracking’ when it comes to treatment for your baby. We use a variety of gentle techniques that suit perfectly to the age of your baby. Treatment isn’t painful at all and we will make sure you we talk you through what we’re doing every step of the way.

Should I Have My Children Checked?

Yes! Do you take your children to the dentist to have their teeth checked? Of course! Just in the same way we believe very strongly that every child should be checked at various points as they grow. Children should be functionally perfect and have no regular pain or discomfort. Children should be very elastic and tolerant to physical stress. However, we commonly see children present with back pain, neck pain, headaches or pain in the foot or leg. This is not an exclusive list! Resolving any issues in childhood can save a lifetime of issues.
