During pregnancy a woman's body undergoes many physical and chemical changes. These can worsen existing conditions or lead to a number of different problems that can arise during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can both treat these conditions and also reduce the liklihood of them occurring in the first place.
At the Skelian Chiropractic Clinic our aim is to provide natural relief and correction to the spinal and pelvic joints. This then restores a state of balance and creates an environment for an easier, safer delivery.
Our chiropractic team can advise you on how to avoid aggravating the spinal and pelvic joints - with advice on lifting and carrying, improving posture and exercising. Many women return after the physical stress of childbirth for check-ups for themselves and their children.
According to Dr Fallon, author and internationally recognised 'chiropractic paediatrician', statistics from her office 'have demonstrated that chiropractic adjustments effectively reduce the average amount of time spent in labour' by 25% in first time mothers and 33% in mothers who have given birth previously.
