Pregnancy is a wonderful chapter in motherhood, but there’s no denying it takes a huge toll on a woman’s body. Whether it’s lower back pain, migraines, neck pain or all of the above, no expecting mother undergoes nine months of carrying a child without some inevitable aches and pains to go along with it.
Thankfully, there’s treatment available. At SA Wellness Centre in Adelaide, our team of qualified and experienced chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists can provide you with tailored treatment to alleviate the aches and pains associated with your pregnancy.
We take the time to consult with you first and gain a clear understanding of your condition, so that we can develop a tailored treatment plan specific to your needs and preferences.
As your body changes during pregnancy, you may start to experience new aches and pains. For many women, chiropractic treatment can be a safe and effective way to find relief.
Pregnancy chiropractic care is a type of treatment that is specifically tailored to the needs of pregnant women. During pregnancy, your body goes through a lot of changes, and these changes can put a lot of extra strain on your back and joints, which can lead to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve this pain by restoring balance to your musculoskeletal system.
In addition to providing relief from pain, pregnancy chiropractic care can also help improve your overall wellness. By keeping your spine in alignment, chiropractic treatment can help improve your nervous system function – this, in turn, can help reduce stress levels and improve your mood, while also improving your energy levels and boosting your immune system.
Chiropractic care is generally considered safe for pregnant women, however, it’s always important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new type of treatment during pregnancy. Your healthcare provider will be able to determine if chiropractic care is right for you and answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
Pregnancy physiotherapy treatment involves a variety of different exercises and stretches that are specifically designed to relieve pain and discomfort during pregnancy. At SA Wellness Centre, our physiotherapists will often use massage techniques as well, which can help to loosen tight muscles and ease tension headaches. Treatment is usually gentle and focused on improving your overall sense of wellbeing.
One of the main benefits of physiotherapy and massage is that they can help to reduce or eliminate the need for pain medication during pregnancy, which isn’t recommended by doctors. Given that pain medication can potentially cause harm to both you and your baby, physiotherapy and massage is a healthy and safe alternative.
Another benefit of physio is that it can help you to manage your weight gain during pregnancy, by helping you to keep active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. And finally, physio can also help you to prepare for labour and delivery – the exercises and stretches that you’ll learn during treatment can help to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which will make labour and delivery easier.
Pregnancy is a wonderful time, but it’s also a time when your body goes through a lot of changes which can cause pain and discomfort. Seeing a chiropractor, physiotherapist or massage therapist during pregnancy can help to relieve some of the common discomforts experienced during this time, such as back pain and fatigue.
