Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, prenatal chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for most expectant mothers. Our chiropractors are trained to use techniques that are gentle and specifically designed for pregnancy.
You can begin prenatal chiropractic care at any stage of your pregnancy. Many women find it beneficial to start early to manage discomfort and maintain optimal spinal health throughout their pregnancy.
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual needs and pregnancy progression. Typically, regular visits are recommended at monthly or fortnightly visits in the first and second trimester and an increase in frequency in the third trimester to ensure ongoing comfort and alignment.
The webster technique utilises gentle specific chiropractic adjustments including soft tissue techniques that restore correct alignment of the pelvis and sacrum. This allows the pelvis to optimally function during pregnancy in preparation for birth.
By realigning the sacrum and balancing the pelvis, this technique may reduce the tension pulling on the uterus and create more room for your baby to move and settle into the optimal position of head down for birth.
The webster technique is known to encourage optimal baby positioning but is also helpful in reducing the amount of lower back pain, sciatica and hip pain in pregnancy.
It is important to wear anything that is comfortable to your prenatal appointment. We recommend wearing anything that is loose and not restrictive to ensure both comfort and effectiveness during each session.
It is perfectly safe to come in during your third trimester. This is the time when there is more stress on your body and Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate any pain in the lower back, hips or shoulders. Importantly, coming in during the third trimester can also help with optimal baby positioning ready for birth. We have special tables and pillows that allow you to comfortably lay on your stomach and relax.
