Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Central London
At Marylebone Chiropractic Clinic, we offer professional chiropractic care tailored to the unique needs of pregnant patients. Pregnancy brings many natural changes, including shifts in posture, softening of ligaments, and additional strain on muscles and joints. Our chiropractors work with you to help manage these physical changes in a safe, comfortable environment.
Why Back Pain and Discomfort are Common During Pregnancy
As your body prepares for labour, hormonal changes, including the release of relaxin, allow your ligaments to soften and stretch. Combined with postural adjustments, weight gain, and shifts in your centre of gravity, these changes can place added pressure on the lower back, pelvis, and joints. For many women, this can result in aches, discomfort, or muscle tension during different stages of pregnancy.
How Chiropractic Care May Support You During Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on the spine, pelvis, and musculoskeletal system, helping to support posture, mobility, and joint alignment as your body changes. Techniques are always adapted to suit the needs and comfort of pregnant patients.
Care may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments, using techniques suitable for pregnancy
- Postural advice to help manage the changes to your body’s alignment
- Soft tissue techniques to support muscle relaxation
- Exercises and stretches tailored to your stage of pregnancy
Postural and Lifestyle Tips for Pregnancy
Alongside chiropractic care, there are several small lifestyle changes you can try to support your comfort:
-
- Avoid sitting in one position for too long – stay mobile
- Practice good posture – avoid over-arching your lower back
- Wear comfortable, supportive shoes
- Sleep on your left side with a pillow between your knees
