Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy: Before, During, and After
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also bring a fair share of challenges as your body adjusts. Your nervous system plays a key role in managing those changes, from supporting your baby's growth to helping your body adapt through each trimester.
Our care focuses on optimizing your nervous system with supportive adjustments, which help ease discomfort, keep things running smoothly, and help you feel more balanced. Frequent Chiropractic care early in pregnancy helps ensure proper alignment and function, easing common discomforts and supporting a smoother journey to birth.
Stress, physical changes, and past injuries can create imbalances that affect both mum and baby, which is why ongoing care is so valuable. We also support you beyond the birth, helping your body recover postpartum and adjust to the demands of motherhood. Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, navigating it, or recovering after, we're here every step of the way.
The Webster Technique
Dr. Ben is trained in the Webster Technique, a specific Chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to restore proper sacral and pelvic function during pregnancy. A balanced pelvis provides your baby with the best possible environment for development and positioning, and may contribute to a smoother, shorter labour.
Misalignment in the pelvis or sacrum can restrict the available space for your baby (intrauterine constraint) and contribute to common pregnancy discomforts like lower back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and round ligament pain. Addressing these imbalances regularly throughout pregnancy helps keep mum comfortable and supports the best possible birth outcome.

We see expectant and postpartum mothers at every stage of their journey. Here are the concerns we most commonly help with.
