Services
The human body is in a constant state of change and adaptation in response to our lifestyles. Our ability to adapt to various stresses is what chiropractors are trained to evaluate and improve.
Pregnancy, in particular, can bring about significant physical, physiological, and emotional changes. If you experience low back pain, sciatica, or pubic pain during or prior to pregnancy,
it may be an indication that your pelvis is not functioning optimally and lacks the necessary range of motion for birth.
Poor pelvic alignment can result from various factors such as poor posture, muscle imbalances, weaknesses, prolonged sitting from your desk job, carrying a toddler on one hip, and past injuries that may have caused you to limp.
Factors such as poor posture, muscle imbalances, prolonged sitting, carrying a toddler on one hip, and past injuries can cause poor pelvic alignment.
Ways we can help:
Overall Comfort and Well-Being.
Pregnancy can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. Dr Lou is committed to helping expectant mothers feel their best by addressing a range of issues, including headaches, fatigue, and sleep problems. By using a holistic approach that takes into account the unique needs of each patient, chiropractic can help improve overall comfort and well-being during this exciting time.
Discomfort
Pregnancy Support
Correct Pelvic Misalignment.
During pregnancy, the pelvis can become misaligned, which can cause discomfort, affect the baby's position, and even make labour more difficult. Dr Lou works with techniques that can help correct pelvic misalignment and ensure that the pelvis is in the optimal position for a healthy and safe delivery.
Relieve Back Pain.
Back pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including the weight of the baby, changes in posture, and hormonal changes that affect the ligaments and joints. Our chiropractor is trained to identify the underlying causes of back pain and use gentle techniques to relieve discomfort and restore proper alignment.
Discomfort
Risk of Breech Presentation.
Breech presentation, where the baby is positioned feet-first instead of head-first, can increase the risk of complications during delivery. Our chiropractor uses the Webster Technique, a gentle and safe technique that can help improve pelvic alignment and reduce the likelihood of breech presentation.
