Pregnancy

Many pregnant women seek chiropractic care during pregnancy to help manage symptoms such as back pain, pelvic pain, and discomfort associated with pregnancy. Chiropractic care can be safe and beneficial for pregnant women, and many Chiropractors have specialised training in prenatal and postnatal care.

During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, including hormonal fluctuations, weight gain, and changes in posture and center of gravity. These changes can put added stress on the spine, pelvis, and nervous system, leading to symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, and pelvic girdle pain.

Chiropractors can provide gentle, safe adjustments and techniques to help alleviate these symptoms and promote optimal spinal alignment and nervous system function during pregnancy. Chiropractic care during pregnancy may also help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support overall well-being.

It's important to choose a chiropractor who has experience and training in prenatal care and who is familiar with techniques and precautions specifically tailored to pregnant women. Chiropractors may use specialized tables or pillows to accommodate the pregnant belly and ensure comfort during adjustments.

If you're pregnant and considering Chiropractic care, it's a good idea to consult with your prenatal healthcare provider first to ensure that chiropractic care is appropriate for you and to discuss any specific concerns or considerations related to your pregnancy. Additionally, be sure to communicate openly with your chiropractor about your pregnancy and any symptoms or discomfort you may be experiencing, so they can provide safe and effective care tailored to your individual needs.

How it works

There are 3 key elements to our patients journey or introduction to our practice and continuity of care.

Your initial consultation will begin with a thorough discussion to understand and develop your medical history. We take the time to listen, ensuring we gather all necessary details.
On your second visit, we’ll bring together all the elements from your initial consultation. Our chiropractor will review the findings and answer any questions you may have. We’ll recommend a care plan tailored to your history, pain, and objective findings, such as X-rays, scans, and tests. Establishing a timeline is crucial for optimal healing, allowing you to track progress, become symptom-free, and stabilise your condition. Healing takes time, especially for those who’ve had unresolved issues for months or years. What sets us apart is our comprehensive setup: all services under one roof, a well-organised practice, and an efficient information processing system. Once we discuss your care plan and fee structure, you’ll be directed to the treatment area, where the magic begins.
Patients’ perception of a chiropractic adjustment on the first visit can vary greatly. It’s not always the clicking or cracking sound you might expect. The adjustment can be manual, low-force, or even no-force. Sometimes, we also use specialised equipment to achieve the best result.
A typical chiropractic adjustment can vary depending on your case, any contraindications to care, and the modality chosen by your chiropractor.
At Lisburn Chiropractic, we use a blend of traditional techniques like Diversified, Gonstead, SOT, Drop-piece Terminal Point Technique, Activator Methods, NET, Network Spinal Analysis, and Flexion Distraction/Spinal Decompression Technique.
Our aim is straightforward: to ensure full spinal function, mobility, flexibility, and flow.
We focus on your chief complaint, whether it’s lower back pain, headaches, or rotator cuff syndrome, while paying attention to the biomechanics of your entire spine, the tone of your body, and energy state.
A holistic approach to your health and well-being is our top priority. Seeing you thrive naturally is what drives our passion. Your health is a journey, and we’re here to support you along the way. Alignment is Key. Its is not unusual for patients to spring up from their adjustments feeling light, invigorated and free. We look forward to getting you started.
