Chiropractic for Pregnancy

Safe, Supportive Care for a More Comfortable Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of immense change — physically, emotionally and hormonally. As your body adapts to support your growing baby, you may experience aches, tension, and imbalances that affect your comfort and wellbeing.

At Battersea and Wandsworth Chiropractors, we offer safe, gentle chiropractic care specifically tailored to support pregnant women through every stage of their journey. Whether you’re experiencing lower back pain, pelvic discomfort or general tension, our experienced team is here to help you feel your best — naturally and confidently.

Why Choose Chiropractic During Pregnancy?

As the baby grows, the mother’s centre of gravity shifts, the spine adapts, and hormone levels increase to relax joints and ligaments. These changes may contribute to:

• Lower back or pelvic pain

• Sciatica or hip discomfort

• Postural changes

• Increased tension in the neck and shoulders

• Reduced mobility and stability

Chiropractic care works to restore alignment, relieve pressure on nerves, and support pelvic balance — helping your body adapt to these changes more easily.

Our Pregnancy Chiropractic Services

We take a gentle, tailored approach to chiropractic care during pregnancy, always working within your level of comfort and stage of pregnancy. Our services include:

• Spinal and pelvic adjustments to ease pressure and support alignment

• Webster Technique – a specific chiropractic method used to support pelvic balance

• Postural advice and ergonomic support

• Stretches and safe exercises to relieve tension and encourage mobility

• Positions and mobilisations to prepare for an easier and connected labour.

• Lifestyle and sleep position guidance

Our chiropractors are trained in prenatal and postnatal care and use specially designed pillows and equipment to ensure you are comfortable and supported throughout your care.

Benefits of Chiropractic During Pregnancy

Many expectant mothers report significant benefits from chiropractic care, including:

• Relief from lower back, hip and pelvic pain

• Reduced pressure on the spine and joints

• Improved pelvic position for optimal foetal positioning

• Fewer headaches and less muscle tension

• Enhanced comfort and mobility

• Better sleep and reduced stress

• Support for a smoother labour and delivery

Importantly, chiropractic care is not only about relieving discomfort — it’s about helping you feel calm, centred, and prepared throughout your pregnancy.

Is Chiropractic Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is considered both safe and effective when provided by a trained professional. At Battersea and Wandsworth Chiropractors, our team has experience working with expectant mothers and takes great care to ensure every session is gentle, appropriate and safe for both you and your baby.

We work in close partnership with your body’s natural processes and are happy to collaborate with your midwife or other health professionals when needed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your first visit will begin with a detailed consultation, including your health history, pregnancy stage, symptoms and goals. We’ll carry out a gentle physical assessment and explain your options clearly, so you feel completely informed and supported.

You’ll receive a personalised care plan, which may evolve as your pregnancy progresses. We always take your comfort seriously and welcome any questions or concerns along the way.  We have many satisfied mums and babies over 20 years.

Caring for You After Baby Arrives

Our care doesn’t stop at birth. Many people come to us for optimising their body and faster recovery after C-sections. Many new mothers also experience postnatal issues such as lower back pain, pelvic misalignment, or postural strain from feeding and carrying their baby. We offer postnatal chiropractic care to support your recovery, realign the spine and pelvis, and help restore strength and balance. This can also be a great time to address any ongoing discomfort or prepare for future pregnancies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during all stages of pregnancy?
Yes, it is. Our chiropractors are trained in prenatal care and modify their techniques to suit your trimester and comfort level. Every session is carried out with safety and care in mind.

Can chiropractic help with breech presentation?
While chiropractic cannot turn a baby, the Webster Technique is designed to reduce tension and improve pelvic balance, which may create more space for baby to move into an optimal position.

How often should I come in for treatment?
This depends on your symptoms and stage of pregnancy. Some women come regularly for ongoing support, while others visit when the need arises. We’ll recommend a plan that suits your needs.

Is it painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all. Adjustments are gentle and specifically adapted for pregnancy. Most women find chiropractic care relaxing and soothing.
