Pregnancy Chiropractor in Watford & Hemel Hempstead

Chiropractic care is amazing for both mother and baby and one of our passions here at Summit Chiropractic is to help mums during this time.

It is a huge change in your life going through a pregnancy. Many women feel that back pain is part of pregnancy. Though it’s common, it is not normal. There may be another choice than trying to cope as best you can with aches and pains. If your nervous system functions correctly, you won’t have symptoms such as discomfort.

Chiropractic care looks to realign your spine, which is vital when your body goes through so many changes during pregnancy.

In doing so, this also allows your baby to be in an optimal position. Research has shown women who are adjusted during pregnancy have shorter labour times and that the labour and birth are easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can chiropractic care benefit labour outcomes?

Research shows that chiropractic care during pregnancy can lead to better labour outcomes, including shorter labour times and a reduced need for interventions.

Can chiropractic care help with pregnancy-related back pain or sciatic pain?

Many pregnant mums experience relief from back pain and sciatic pain through chiropractic care. Each case is unique, so a consultation with one of our chiropractors is necessary to determine the best approach for your specific situation.

Is chiropractic care different for each stage of pregnancy?

Yes, chiropractic care can vary depending on the stage of pregnancy. The body moves differently as pregnancy progresses, requiring adjustments to our techniques. Chiropractic care is appropriate throughout the entire pregnancy, from the time you find out you are expecting all the way through to birth, and we have a special pregnancy cushion to ensure Mum’s comfort even in later stages.

Is chiropractic care helpful for recovery after birth?

Absolutely. Giving birth is a significant physical event akin to running a marathon. We recommend a postnatal chiropractic check-up as soon as possible, except in the case of a C-section, where we advise waiting a couple of weeks, depending on scar healing.

Can chiropractic care help with pelvic floor issues such as involuntary urination when sneezing?

Chiropractic care can potentially help with pelvic floor issues by ensuring proper alignment and strengthening the pelvic floor. We would assess your specific situation to determine the best course of action.
