Pregnancy
Lower back and pelvic pain are common during pregnancy as your body changes. We offer gentle, modified care to help you stay comfortable and active.
About Pregnancy
Hormonal changes, a shifting centre of gravity and changes in how you move all put extra load on the lower back and pelvis. Pelvic girdle pain, felt at the back of the pelvis or over the pubic bone, is common.
Common signs
- Lower back pain
- Pain at the back of the pelvis or over the pubic bone
- Pain turning over in bed, climbing stairs or standing on one leg
- Upper back and neck tension
How We Can Help
Care centres on gentle chiropractic adjustments, using positions suited to pregnancy such as side-lying and supported positions, and low-force techniques where needed.
We combine adjustments with soft tissue work, exercises and practical advice for sleeping, getting in and out of the car, and daily activities.
