The physical, emotional and chemical impacts of pregnancy are huge! Your Lower North Shore and Lower Northern Beaches Chiropractors at Nomad Chiropractic are here to help you have the best pregnancy, labor and postpartum period as possible. It takes a village and we’d love to be a part of yours.
Hormones released during pregnancy create joint laxity; your centre of gravity shifts with the growing weight of your baby; and this amongst many other things can impact your pelvis and create symptoms! Pelvic alignment during pregnancy is essential for comfort, room for baby to move and eventually descend through the birth canal; and for the proper firing of muscles via a clear nervous system.
Joint laxity makes you more susceptible to injury - it may cause sprains/strains and potentially nerve interference, which can carry over in to the 4th trimester and the first few years of life (of your bubba!). Not to mention the impact of breastfeeding, bending over cots, sleepless nights etc.
Chiropractic care tailored for pregnancy is gentle and focuses on realigning the spine and pelvis to reduce the stress on the joints, ligaments, and muscles; and to remove any nerve interference. A full spinal assessment is undertaken, including the Webster Technique Assessment; and your biomechanics are adjusted so your body is better equipped.
Webster Technique
“The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces nervous system stress, balances pelvic bones, muscles and ligaments; and optimises the mother’a pelvic function in pregnancy and birth” ICPA.
Specific chiropractic care supports pregnancy and birth as a natural process.

Some Pregnancy tips!
Get adjusted! Chiropractic is essential for optimal nervous system communication, increased mobility and spinal/pelvic balance
Exercise regularly; including appropriate mobility and strength work.
We especially love yoga, swimming and pilates
Some home exercises can be found here
Be mindful of how you sit, especially if you’re doing desk work during your pregnancy - and take regular breaks. ?Invest in a standing work station?!
Be mindful of how you get in and out of bed - click here for a how to video
A simple one - hold your phone at eye level!
Take breaks in nature! Get some sunshine on your face :)
A pillow between your knees when you sleep can be amazing; and to that end even
Wearing a pregnancy belt to help keep your sacroiliac joints together can help.
Congratulations! You’re Pregnant!
We can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your journey.
