Pregnancy treatment

Pregnancy is an amazing but also demanding time for your body. The hormone relaxin causes your joints and ligaments to soften in preparation for childbirth, which can make you more unstable and cause pain in your back, pelvis and hips. At the clinic, we want to help you maintain your body’s balance and function, so that you can feel stronger and more comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

Manual therapy, such as chiropractic, naprapathy and massage, can relieve the most common pregnancy complaints such as back pain, pelvic pain and sciatica. By adjusting and treating your joints and muscles, we can reduce pressure on nerves and improve your posture. This not only reduces pain, but can also improve your sleep, reduce stress levels and give you more energy – something that is crucial for both you and your baby’s well-being.

Medically, manual therapy also helps increase blood circulation and lymph flow, which counteracts swelling in the legs and feet, a common problem during pregnancy. A well-balanced and mobile body also prepares you better for labor, which can make it both shorter and less painful. Taking care of yourself with professional manual therapy is therefore an investment in your health and safety – for your sake and that of your baby.
