Expectant mothers visit the practice from Chatswood, Willoughby, Lane Cove, and across the North Shore.
Why pregnant patients seek chiropractic care
As the body adapts to support a growing baby, changes in posture, centre of gravity, weight distribution, and joint laxity, driven by relaxin and other hormonal changes, can contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort at various stages of pregnancy.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy does not treat obstetric conditions or pregnancy outcomes. The focus is on assessing and managing the musculoskeletal symptoms that arise as the body changes.
Common presentations during pregnancy
Lower back pain that has developed or worsened during pregnancy
Pelvic girdle pain or sacroiliac joint discomfort
Hip pain, particularly with walking or lying on one side
Upper back and rib discomfort as posture adapts and the ribcage expands
Neck and shoulder tension
General spinal stiffness that limits comfortable movement
How chiropractic care may help during pregnancy in Chatswood
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on assessing and managing the musculoskeletal system using techniques that are appropriate and comfortable at each stage. Dr Brett uses the Activator Methods technique, a precise, low-force approach that requires no manual twisting or rotation, which is well suited to pregnant patients at any stage of pregnancy.
Positions and examination approaches are adapted progressively as the pregnancy develops. All care is discussed and explained before it begins.
Many pregnant patients report improvement in musculoskeletal comfort through chiropractic care. Individual results vary. Chiropractic care is not a substitute for obstetric care.
