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.
