Chiropractic Pregnancy and Paediatrics

Chiropractic treatment during pregnancy ensures your body is optimally balanced, promoting optimal positioning for the baby in utero, thereby encouraging an easier delivery for both you and your baby. If your own spine and pelvis holds any torsion, or malalignment, it is more likely the uterus will be off balance, and therefore unlikely the baby will be able to lie comfortably in the ideal position to descend through the birth canal.
As well as balancing your body to prepare for labour, chiropractic is extremely effective at alleviating low back pain, groin pain and rib pain caused by your growing baby. Chiropractic also helps with Pubic symphysis dysfunction, a common symptom of imbalance in the pregnant mother's body.
Treatment is extremely gentle, and involves specific techniques to encourage realignment of your low back and pelvis as well as increase the space that the baby has to move around in, encouraging your baby to resettle in the ideal in utero position.

The birth process can be one of the most physically traumatic times for a baby. The stresses placed on the young skeleton can cause minor functional problems of the spine, the pelvis or the extremities. These dysfunctions may then interfere with the health of your child. Untreated early signs and symptoms of birth injury can affect physical, emotional and mental growth and development of your baby.
The chiropractic approach looks at all these aspects of development by addressing the whole body in order to restore and improve all round body function, and allowing your child to be at their best. Whatever the age of your child, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective therapy.
Treating babies and infants involves ultra gentle techniques, mainly based around cranio-sacral type techniques and light touching over areas of the spine. Your baby will feel relaxed and at ease during the treatment.
