Did you know that chiropractic care can play a key role in supporting your comfort and wellbeing throughout pregnancy? Over half of pregnant women experience back or pelvic girdle pain, with many finding that the discomfort affects their daily lives. These symptoms are often caused by a combination of postural changes, shifting biomechanics, and hormonal factors. Common pregnancy-related complaints include back pain, wrist pain, and leg cramps. At Parkstone Chiropractic & Wellness, many expectant mothers choose chiropractic care as a safe, natural, and drug-free way to ease discomfort and support their changing bodies. Our chiropractors use gentle techniques tailored specifically for pregnancy, including spinal adjustments, mobilisation, and soft tissue work. Specially designed pregnancy cushions are used to ensure treatments are comfortable and never put pressure on the abdomen. We also provide guidance on helpful prenatal and postnatal stretches and exercises to support your body throughout the journey. In addition to helping with pregnancy-related pain, chiropractic care can also support breastfeeding. Our team is experienced in working with both mothers and babies to address musculoskeletal issues that may affect feeding—helping to make the experience more comfortable and effective. As members of the General Chiropractic Council and British Chiropractic Association, our team is committed to providing the highest standard of care in a safe, supportive environment.
