At Align Chiropractic in Hobart, we are passionate about pregnancy and women’s health.
While this stage in a woman’s life is incredible, it also comes with its natural physiological changes that may produce symptoms that make day to day activities just that little bit more difficult.
Chiropractic is a safe, gentle and effective way of helping women through their journey of prenatal, pregnancy and post-natal care. Chiropractic care aims to address the structural and biomechanical changes that come with pregnancy and post-partum.
Our Hobart Chiropractors use a variety of gentle techniques that are appropriate to the different stages of your pregnancy journey. These techniques include specific chiropractic techniques, Webster Technique and applied kinesiology testing to correct and improve the pelvis, sacrum and associated muscles and ligaments to allow for optimal movement of the mother and ultimately the baby. All of this may assist in reducing pain and discomfort during pregnancy and allow for better labour and birthing outcomes.
Reasons women seek chiropractic care during pregnancy:
- Lower back, sacrum or pubic symphysis pain
- Tightness in the ribs and difficulty taking deep breaths
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Improving mobility in the body
- Supporting body during the natural physiological changes that take place
- Optimal alignment of the pelvis, sacrum and supportive muscles and ligaments to prepare for labour and birth
- Advice on the different stages in pregnancy, labour, birth and post-partum
- Post natal assessment and care, support for mum and baby after birth
