Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Blackheath and the Upper Blue Mountains
Pregnancy brings about a range of physical and emotional changes, and at The Mountains Chiropractic, we are here to support you through this exciting journey. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, and neck stiffness, all of which can be exacerbated by your changing body.
Our gentle, safe, and effective treatments are designed to support your body as it adjusts to the physical demands of pregnancy. With our holistic approach, we focus on realigning the spine and pelvis, improving posture, and reducing nerve interference that may cause discomfort. By ensuring your nervous system functions optimally, we aim to make your pregnancy more comfortable and promote a healthier experience for both you and your baby.
Possible Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy-related aches and pains are common, but they don’t have to be part of the experience. Chiropractic care can provide relief from common pregnancy discomforts, such as:
Lower back pain: As your body adjusts to the growing baby, changes in posture can strain your back. Chiropractic care can help realign your spine and reduce pressure on the lower back.
Pelvic pain: Pelvic instability, often caused by hormonal changes, can lead to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help balance the pelvis and reduce discomfort.
Sciatica: Pressure on the sciatic nerve due to the growing uterus can cause pain and numbness in the legs. Chiropractic care can relieve this pressure and alleviate sciatica symptoms.
Neck and shoulder pain: Pregnancy can cause tension in the neck and shoulders. Chiropractic care can help reduce this tension, improving mobility and comfort.
Posture support: As your pregnancy progresses, your posture changes. Chiropractic care helps maintain proper alignment, reducing the strain on your body.
The Webster Technique
for Pregnancy
At The Mountains Chiropractic, Dr. Kate Slattery uses the Webster Technique, a gentle approach that focuses on restoring balance to the pelvis. This technique involves specific sacral analysis and adjustments to help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues that may contribute to intrauterine constraints. These constraints, which can affect the baby’s movement, are often caused by tight ligaments, restricted joints, or muscles. While commonly used in later pregnancy, particularly for breech presentation, the Webster Technique can be applied throughout pregnancy to support optimal fetal positioning.
