Our Speciality
Chiropractic, pregnancy, postpartum, pediatrics & beyond

Chiropractic care is for the whole family.  The techniques and applications of skills we use are tailored to suit who is in front of us. An adult adjustment for an athlete or office worker is different to that of a pregnant parent or a child. As children grow the types of adjustments they receive will grow and change with them.

​

The intention of a Chiropractic adjustment is to restore a strong brain-body connection so that communication flows efficiently and freely from the head all the way to the toes and back. These signals control our bodies in every way- from what our organs do to how we breathe, move and even rest. The “adjustment” is removing a restriction (or as you'll often hear Rebecca often say a “doorstop”) from the body and lets those signals move and flow more freely.

​

Why we do what we do...

Pregnancy & Chiropractic

Chiropractic care in pregnancy is so important for the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More parents and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with Chiropractic care in pregnancy and recognize this area of expertise through the Webster technique.

 

The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and technique. The goal is to restore neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region meaning allowing mom and baby are better aligned to grow and adapt through their pregnancy journeys.

 

Common issues that can be managed well with regular Chiropractic care: 

  • Sacroiliac joint paint 

  • Lower back pain 

  • Sciatica and Sciatica like symptoms 

  • Round ligament pain

  • PGP/pelvic girdle pain

  • Headaches and migraines 

  • Carpal tunnel

  • Rib pains

... to name a few

​

Postpartum & Chiropractic

The aches and pains of pregnancy don’t just disappear with the birth of the baby. Here are some added benefits for seeing a Chiropractor in your postpartum period:

​

  • Encourage postpartum healing

  • High quality posture related care and advice

  • Helping restore normal neurobiomechanics in the body

  • Assistance with PGP and sciatica pains

  • Dealing with general aches and pains (carrying a baby or car seat , pushing a pram are all very different exercises to pre-baby life)

  • Help and support pelvic rehabilitation

  • Assist with breathing and rib pains after pregnancy

​

Just as a side note- the postpartum period lasts 7 years to a lifetime after giving birth! So 2 weeks, 2 years or 20 its never too late to start looking after yourself

Paediatrics & Chiropractic

Caring from the newest of the newborns through childhood and adolescents there is so much Chiropractic care can offer. From the first check after birth, to meeting milestones, overcoming feeding challenges, support through developmental leaps and sleep regressions to reading, writing and sports injuries. Chiropractic checks can ensure the nervous system and body are communicating efficiently allowing these wonderful little creatures the best opportunity to grow, adapt and thrive in to their environments. 

​

We welcome families with all kinds of kiddies- neurotypical, neurodiverse, the talkative or shy, Ubuntu Family Chiropractic is a friendly, safe and welcoming space for all the kiddies.
