Pregnancy Chiropractic in Bundaberg

pregnant person with hands on tummyBeing pregnant is an exciting time, and it’s also a time of tremendous change for your body. Chiropractic care at Family Chiropractic Bundaberg can help support your healthy, active pregnancy and prepare your body for the birth process.

As a true family practice, pregnancy care is an integral part of what we do, and our approach is designed to cater to your special needs and goals at this important time of life. Our chiropractors are specially trained to provide care for expecting mums, and we love helping you feel and function your best as you prepare for your growing family.

Gentle Care

The hormone relaxin is released starting at about week nine, and its job is to relax the ligaments to allow your baby to pass through the birth canal. Since relaxin works on all the ligaments of the body, the sacral area of the low back as well as the pubic bone come under a lot of additional strain, especially for women who sit for their jobs.

We offer a variety of gentle and pregnancy-specific techniques to help maintain optimal spinal and pelvic alignment. By keeping the pelvis balanced and stable, we help to keep the pelvis positioned to create optimal conditions for a natural birth. This improved alignment also means reduced discomfort for you!

When to Begin Care

We love when women begin chiropractic care prior to falling pregnant, as this allows us to address any underlying structural issues before the additional stresses of weight gain, ligament changes and a shifting centre of gravity begin to take effect.

The earlier you begin care during your pregnancy, the more we can help prevent issues like low back pain or pubic bone pain. But no matter when you start care, we’ll tailor gentle adjustments to your specific needs to help maximise your comfort and create the best conditions possible for birth.

Lifestyle Advice

Starting at about 20 weeks, we will introduce specific exercises, lifestyle advice and postural advice to assist with relieving back pain and keeping your body comfortable and mobile as it changes.
