Pregnancy, paediatrics & beyond

Chiropractic care is for the whole family.  The techniques and applications of skills I used as tailored to suit who is in front of me. 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.

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 recognise this area of expertise through Webster Certification. The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and technique. The goal is to restore neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved allowing mom and baby to grow and adapt as best they can as they progress and grow.

 

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

SI joint paint 

Lower back pain 

Sciatica and Sciatica like symptoms 

Round ligament pain

PGP

Headaches and migraines 

Carpal tunnel

... 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

-assistance with PGP and sciatica pains

-dealing with general aches and pains (carrying a baby or a car seat or pushing a pram are 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 and I would gladly be of assitance. 

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.
