Pregnancy Chiropractic at East Bentleigh Health Group
Expecting a baby is an exciting time of life, and at East Bentleigh Health Group, we have over 30 years experience helping expecting mums enjoy this special time to the fullest.
Along with helping you feel more comfortable and move with greater ease, research shows that women who receive regular chiropractic care during pregnancy experience shorter labour and delivery times than women who don’t.
Benefits of Care
Weight gain, hormonal changes and a shifting centre of gravity can all take a toll on your body’s biomechanics when you’re pregnant. Our gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore musculoskeletal alignment and balance, which often helps women feel more comfortable and mobile so they can get through their daily activities more easily.
In addition, when you are feeling less stress, your baby is also less stressed. So by keeping you comfortable, we’re benefitting your baby as well.
Some of the common reasons people seek our prenatal care are:
- Mid back pain
- Low back pain
- Sciatica
- Pubic bone pain
Our Gentle Approach
Our caring team caters to your needs, offering gentle, precise adjustments that are low force and don’t involve any twisting. We have a special table with a drop mechanism that accommodates your growing belly so you can lie comfortably and safely face-down.
Your care is customised to your specific needs, and for many women that includes coming in every three weeks or so until your third trimester, when we’ll begin seeing you more frequently leading up to birth.
Postpartum Care
Giving birth is hard on your body, so we encourage new mums to come in about three weeks postpartum to get checked out. This is a good time to restore optimal alignment, as the hormone relaxin is still flowing through your body, making ligaments more supple.
It’s also a good time to get your new little one checked out for the first time, so we can ensure their spine is properly aligned right from the start.
