Pregnancy Chiropractic in Sherwood Park
As your pregnancy moves from one trimester to the next, your body takes on new demands. Your growing belly shifts your centre of gravity forward, your posture changes, and your lower back and pelvis may feel the extra strain. Even everyday activities, like getting out of bed or keeping up with a toddler, can become more challenging.
At Brisbin Family Chiropractic, we understand that pregnancy brings plenty of changes. Our Sherwood Park chiropractors take a caring, individualized approach to pregnancy-related musculoskeletal concerns, helping you explore options for managing discomfort as your body changes.
Care Built Around Your Changing Body
Pregnancy chiropractic care focuses on assessing the spine, pelvis, and surrounding joints and muscles. Depending on your health history and examination findings, gentle adjustments may be considered as part of managing certain types of back or pelvic discomfort.
Chiropractors Dr. David Brisbin, Dr. Jason Ellis, and Dr. Michael Morrical adapt their techniques to each patient’s needs and comfort. One approach available at our practice is the Webster Technique, a chiropractic method involving assessment and adjustment of the pelvis and surrounding musculoskeletal structures.
We’ll explain the techniques we recommend, answer your questions, and consider any pregnancy-related precautions before proceeding.
Supporting You Through Each Trimester
Whether this is your first pregnancy or you’re expecting another little one, your needs may change as the weeks pass.
Some of the concerns we assess include:
- Lower back and pelvic discomfort
- Hip stiffness and certain types of sciatic-like discomfort
- Posture-related tension as your centre of gravity changes
- Restricted movement that makes everyday activities uncomfortable
- Musculoskeletal strain from caring for older children while pregnant
Our recommendations depend on your symptoms, medical history, and goals. We can also discuss suitable movement habits and when additional assessment by your maternity care provider may be needed.
Comfortable Appointments, Even at Full Term
One feature our patients appreciate is our adjusting tables. Every table in our clinic is designed to accommodate pregnancy, including the later stages when finding a comfortable position can be tricky.
Our team has cared for women up to 40-plus weeks, including those expecting twins. The tables can accommodate a growing belly, allowing patients to lie face down when suitable and comfortable.
There’s no fixed schedule for pregnancy chiropractic visits. We’ll discuss what makes sense for your circumstances, whether you’re experiencing discomfort or simply have questions about your changing body.
Here for You as Your Family Grows
Pregnancy doesn’t mean life slows down. You may still be working, running errands, or chasing a toddler while preparing for your newest arrival.
We understand those everyday demands and want you to feel heard throughout your care. If you’d like to discuss pregnancy-related back or pelvic discomfort, our team would be happy to meet with you. Contact Brisbin Family Chiropractic today to get started.
