welcome to a healthier pregnancy!

Congratulations on your exciting journey into motherhood!

We at Harrison Child & Family Chiropractic understand the joys and challenges that come with pregnancy. We also know how important it is to prioritise your well-being throughout this special time.

That's where chiropractic care can play a significant role. Many expecting mothers wonder, "Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?" The answer is a resounding yes!

How can Chiropractic care help
you and your growing baby?

  • Reduced Discomfort and Medication Use: Chiropractic care can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts like back pain, sciatica, and headaches, potentially reducing the need for medication.

  • Shorter Labor Times (Studies suggest a 25-30% reduction): Research suggests chiropractic adjustments can improve pelvic alignment and flexibility, potentially leading to smoother and potentially shorter labour times.

  • Healthier Delivery: Proper alignment may contribute to a more optimal birthing experience for both mother and baby.

  • Improved Immune Function: Chiropractic care may support your immune system, vital during pregnancy for fighting off potential infections and keeping you healthy.

  • A Head Start for Your Baby's Health: By providing a well-aligned environment for your baby's development, chiropractic care may contribute to optimal foetal positioning and overall well-being following birth.

We understand the importance of comprehensive prenatal care. We sympathise with the unique challenges you face and want to be a part of your support network.
