Pregnancy Chiropractic Care In Canberra
Pregnancy brings significant changes to the body, including shifts in posture, joint mobility and muscle balance. Many expectant mothers experience back pain, pelvic discomfort, hip pain or general stiffness as their body adapts throughout each stage of pregnancy.
At Capital Chiropractic Centre, we provide gentle, evidence-informed chiropractic care for pregnancy at our Braddon clinic. Care is tailored to each individual and adapted to suit the stage of pregnancy, comfort levels and overall health.
How Chiropractic Care May Support Pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting normal joint movement, muscle balance and postural changes. Care may help with:
Lower back pain and pelvic discomfort
Hip and sacroiliac joint tension
Mid-back and rib pain
Postural strain as the body changes
General mobility and comfort during pregnancy
All care is provided using pregnancy-appropriate techniques, with positioning and methods chosen to prioritise comfort and safety.
What to Expect at Your Pregnancy Appointment
Your pregnancy chiropractic appointment at our Braddon chiropractic clinic includes:
A thorough health history and pregnancy-related discussion
Postural and movement assessment where appropriate
Clear explanation of findings and care options
Gentle, modified chiropractic techniques tailored to pregnancy
Care plans are individualised, and treatment is only provided where clinically appropriate.
Techniques Used in Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
At Capital Chiropractic Centre, we commonly use Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) and Activator Method when providing chiropractic care during pregnancy. SOT is a gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that focuses on balancing the pelvis and supporting normal spinal and neurological function. It uses specific positioning and light pressure rather than forceful adjustments, making it well suited to pregnancy care.
Where appropriate, pregnancy care may also include gentle mobilisation, soft tissue techniques and postural advice, always adapted to comfort and stage of pregnancy.
