Chiropractic during pregnancy

We take special care of pregnant women and endeavour to help you  to feel confident about you pregnancy!  We also run regular in-house training for the therapists to ensure we are up to date to deliver advice, which is helpful for your individual condition and stage of pregnancy.

Our aim is to achieve:

• Good postural, spinal and pelvic alignment
• Muscle balance and relaxation
• Awareness of postures and exercises for birth preparation
• Confidence and comfort

Even though nine months is a relatively short period in a woman's life, it can be hugely influential on her body now and afterwards.  Research has found that at least 50% of women experience some kind of back pain during pregnancy and 20 % may suffer from pelvic girdle pain, which in approximately 2% of women can be very disabling.

The Director of Luck’s Yard Clinic is a chiropractor with many years' interest and research into pregnancy.  Over the 15 years that she has researched and lectured in this area, she has found the general awareness increasing, but a wider knowledge of this diagnosis is still needed.
