Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Hamilton

Safe, Gentle, and Effective Chiropractic Support for Expecting Mothers

Pregnancy brings many physical changes that can lead to discomfort, postural imbalances, and joint pain. At Astro Chiropractic, we offer specialised pregnancy chiropractic care to support expectant mothers through each stage of pregnancy, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prepare the body for birth.

Our gentle, non-invasive chiropractic techniques help maintain spinal alignment, reduce stress on the nervous system, and create optimal pelvic balance, supporting both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.

How Can Chiropractic Care Support Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the body undergoes postural shifts, weight distribution changes, and hormonal adjustments, all of which can place strain on the spine and joints. Chiropractic care helps:

  • Reduce lower back pain and sciatica caused by increased pressure on the spine
  • Alleviate pelvic discomfort and improve pelvic alignment for an easier birth
  • Improve posture and spinal balance to support changes in body shape
  • Reduce tension and stress on the nervous system, promoting better relaxation and sleep
  • Encourage optimal fetal positioning by ensuring proper pelvic alignment

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on gentle, precise adjustments that enhance comfort and mobility while ensuring safety for both mother and baby.

Conditions Treated with Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Many common pregnancy-related discomforts can be managed through chiropractic adjustments, including:

  • Lower back pain and sciatica
  • Hip and pelvic discomfort
  • Round ligament pain
  • Postural imbalances due to weight distribution changes
  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Difficulty sleeping due to discomfort

By addressing these concerns early, chiropractic care can help mothers experience a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy and prepare for labor and delivery.
