Pain is not an inevitable consequence of pregnancy, it usually indicates the presence of a pre-existing or underlying condition. If you have any physical weaknesses the extra demands of your pregnancy may well exceed your body’s ability to cope. This causes muscles, ligaments and joints to become injured and painful.

The most common problem that pregnant women encounter is pelvic instability. Sprain of the joints at the back of the pelvis and the symphysis pubis joint at the front often cause the presenting symptoms of back, hip and leg pain. Pain in the upper back and neck due to postural changes are also regularly reported. If you have any of these symptoms, don’t worry we’ve seen thousands of patients with these conditions and the vast majority respond very well to treatment.

The type of chiropractic care practiced in this clinic is called sacro-occipital technique. The gentle way in which this technique influences the stability of the pelvic joints makes this style of chiropractic ideally suited to the treatment of pain experienced during pregnancy.

Treatment is safe and comfortable for you and your baby and we even have a specially designed cushion which allows you to lie down on your front to receive some of your treatment.

If you are pregnant and suffering from discomfort or are worried about pain during labour, then give us a call  on 01962 843242 to discuss the options available to you.
