Absolutely! In fact at North Shore Family Chiropractors Chatswood we support women throughout conception, pregnancy, and post-birth. Pregnancy is a time of great change for you and your spine, as the added weight of the baby changes your centre of gravity and puts more pressure on your spine. Many pregnant women complain of back pain and may find that their pelvis and hip alignment is also impacted.

At North Shore Family Chiropractors Chatswood, your Chiropractic Doctor is trained to work with pregnant women in each trimester. Our goal is to provide the most comfortable and rewarding experience possible leading up to your birth.

During your pregnancy your body changes as it nurtures your growing baby. These changes can place strain on your posture and spine. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is an effective and gentle treatment for back pain and pelvic alignment.

While there are many symptoms associated with pregnancy, the aim of chiropractic care is to assist with the most common symptoms including;

• Low back pain
• Sciatic pain
• Neck pain
• Headache
• Posture
• Pain of the pelvis and groin including pelvic instability

The intensity and presence of these symptoms can be relieved through chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Your Chiropractic Treatment during pregnancy will depend on the results of a thorough assessment by your Chiropractic Doctor. At our Chatswood Clinic we offer relief of pain, and chiropractic treatment during pregnancy through:

• chiropractic manipulation

The goals of chiropractic care include reducing back pain, improving function and prevention of further injury. If you are pregnant and experiencing back pain, we may be able to help through chiropractic manipulation treatment.

Treatment techniques are specifically modified for pregnant patients.

At North Shore Family Chiropractors Chatswood, we are trained in the Webster technique and Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP).

The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and treatment. The goal of the treatment is to reduce the effects of sacral misalignments and Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

This technique focusses on balancing the muscles and ligaments of the pelvis. Many women will seek this treatment in the 8^th month of pregnancy.

The focus of CBP is to maintain the spine in its ideal alignment which allows it to perform at its best which can reduce pain and symptoms during pregnancy. The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.
