Pregnancy and Postnatal Chiropractic Care in Geelong West
Your Spine During Pregnancy
As your body grows and adapts during pregnancy, your posture, centre of gravity and weight distribution all shift, and hormonal changes affect the ligaments supporting your joints. These changes can place new demands on your spine and pelvis.
Some women choose to include chiropractic care for musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy, alongside their regular obstetric or midwifery care.
Our Process
What We Focus On During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy may help manage musculoskeletal concerns such as low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatic-type leg pain, rib and mid-back discomfort, and posture-related aches as pregnancy progresses.
Your First Visit
Your first visit starts with a detailed history and assessment. We do not use X-rays during pregnancy. We’ll explain what we find, talk through your options and any risks, and work alongside your obstetrician, midwife or GP.
Postnatal Care
Feeding, lifting and carrying a newborn can bring new aches through your back, neck and shoulders. Postnatal chiropractic care starts with an assessment of how your body has changed, and from there we’ll discuss a plan to help manage musculoskeletal discomfort as you return to daily activities.
