Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. At Sellars Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, we provide gentle, evidence-based chiropractic care designed to support your body throughout this journey, helping you feel more comfortable and prepared for birth.
Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
As your baby grows, your body undergoes a series of natural changes: postural shifts, increased ligament laxity, and changes in weight distribution. These adaptations can sometimes lead to discomfort, joint restrictions, and added stress on the spine and pelvis.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help:
-
Relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, hip tension, sciatica, and pelvic pressure
-
Promote balance in the pelvis, which may support optimal fetal positioning
-
Enhance mobility and nervous system function
-
Support a more comfortable pregnancy and potentially smoother labor and delivery
Our Evidence-Based Approach
You deserve care that’s safe, personalized, and rooted in science. Our chiropractors use low-force, pregnancy-specific techniques backed by current research and clinical best practices. Every treatment is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and individual needs.
Our prenatal care includes:
-
Gentle chiropractic techniques focused on pelvic balance and reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments (commonly used to encourage optimal positioning of the baby)
-
Safe, comfortable adjustments designed to address joint restrictions and improve mobility
-
Education and support on movement, posture, and exercises to help you feel your best
-
Collaboration with your birth team when appropriate, including OB/GYNs, midwives, and doulas
