Pre & Post Natal

We would want to see your body ‘baby ready’, avoid and overcome pregnancy pains and complaints. Having a well-balanced spine and pelvis is valuable at every stage in your life, but even more so when you are pregnant and carrying the increasing load of your baby. Have you ever noticed how a pregnant woman’s pelvis tilts forward? As Chiropractors we do!

Have you a plan to deliver your baby in the most natural way possible? We have that same hope for you and will work closely with you and your body to achieve this.

Although most complaints from our pregnant Mums is back pain, lower back pain, sciatica to name a few. Our Chiropractors will assess your  spine and pelvis prior to, and during, your pregnancy to ensure they are optimally aligned and that the pelvic support structures, such as muscle and ligaments, are ready for the major physical challenges of pregnancy, labour and birth.

One study found 85% of Pregnant Women Get Back Pain Relief with Chiropractic [1]

At Belridge Chiropractic the main reasons women seek assistance for pregnancy are:

• Pain of the lower back, symphysis pubis, pelvis, legs, ribs, shoulders, neck, hands
• Creating optimal room for their baby to move and grow both physically and neurologically
• Support in achieving a natural physiologic labour, including VBACs
• The 6-week postnatal assessment to assess pelvic stability and abdominal healing
• Recovery from the pregnancy and labour for both mother and baby
