Pregnancy care

During pregnancy, it is very common for women to experience pain and discomfort, especially in the lower back,hips as well as the joints. The increase in physical and hormonal changes during pregnancy often leads to changes in the spinal curvature, alignment and posture to support the weight of the baby. 

Chiropractic treatments are beneficial to pregnant women as it promotes gentle adjustments and physical therapy to reduce pressure along the spine. Furthermore, stretches and light exercises recommended by the chiropractor can relieve discomfort and tension in the body.  It does not involve the use of medicine, drugs and surgery, thus is a safe and noninvasive procedure for both the mother and the baby. 

The benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include relieving joint and back pain, easier delivery and labour, reducing/minimising nausea and maintaining an overall healthy pregnancy. If you are currently pregnant or planning, chiropractic treatment will be a great addition to your journey. Book with us at Spinal Care Sydney Olympic Park on (02) 8964 6385.
