Pregnancy Chiropractor
North Canberra
Gentle, safe care throughout every trimester at our Macquarie clinic
Pregnancy brings significant physical changes to the body over a relatively short period. The pelvis, lower back, and surrounding structures adapt continuously as the pregnancy progresses, and for many women this leads to discomfort, pain, or changes in the way they move and function. At Synergy Chiropractic Centre in Macquarie, all three of our chiropractors have additional training in pregnancy care and are experienced in supporting women throughout every trimester.
Common presentations during pregnancy
Lower back and pelvic pain
Pelvic girdle pain and pubic symphysis dysfunction
Round ligament discomfort
Rib and thoracic pain as the ribcage expands
Sciatica and leg symptoms
Carpal tunnel-type symptoms
Neck pain and headaches
General discomfort related to postural and structural change
Chiropractic care during pregnancy uses techniques that are safe and appropriate for the pregnant body. We have specialist pregnancy pillows that allow you to lie face down comfortably at every stage, which many pregnant patients tell us is a relief in itself. Techniques are adapted to the trimester and your individual presentation, and we work gently throughout.
Dr Lindi Vanzwan (chiro) brings first-hand experience of pelvic instability, postnatal recovery, and the physical demands of motherhood to her work with pregnant patients.
Postnatal care
Support does not end with the birth. The postnatal period brings its own physical challenges, including recovery from the birth itself, the demands of feeding and carrying a newborn, and the gradual process of the pelvis and surrounding structures returning to their pre-pregnancy state. We provide care throughout this period, for both the mother and the newborn where appropriate.
Is chiropractic care safe for pregnant women?
Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is considered safe throughout all trimesters when provided by a chiropractor with appropriate training and experience. All of our chiropractors have undertaken additional training in pregnancy care and are registered with AHPRA.
If you are pregnant and experiencing pain or discomfort, or simply want support for your body through this period, we would be glad to help. We are conveniently located in Macquarie, North Canberra, with easy parking.
