Is Chiropractic Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes, chiropractic care is considered safe and gentle during pregnancy. Our chiropractors are trained in techniques specifically designed to accommodate the changing body of a pregnant woman. We use specialised equipment and gentle adjustments to ensure your comfort and safety throughout your pregnancy. In Langford, we are dedicated to providing safe and effective care for expectant mothers.
When Can I Go See a Chiropractor Postpartum?
You can typically see a chiropractor shortly after giving birth. Many women find it beneficial to schedule an appointment within the first few weeks postpartum. Postpartum chiropractic care can help your body recover from the physical demands of labor and delivery, and address any musculoskeletal imbalances that may have developed during pregnancy. We recommend that you consult with your medical doctor regarding your individual circumstances.
