Pregnancy and Chiropractic.
Gentle, Safe Support for You and Your Baby
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change — physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While it’s a beautiful journey, it often comes with new aches, pains, and challenges. At Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale, we offer safe, gentle, and personalised chiropractic care for every stage of pregnancy.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
As your body adapts to growing a new life, it's common to experience:
Lower back or hip pain
Sciatic nerve discomfort
Pelvic pressure or misalignment
Postural changes
Difficulty sleeping due to discomfort
Pregnancy also increases the production of relaxin, a hormone that softens ligaments to prepare for birth. While necessary, it can also make your joints less stable — especially in the pelvis and spine.
Chiropractic care can help keep your body aligned and balanced, relieving pressure and helping you move more comfortably throughout your pregnancy.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care
At Align and Restore Chiropractic, we focus on helping you:

Yes — chiropractic care is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner.

Specially designed pregnancy pillows for comfort
Safe, gentle adjustments tailored to your trimester

When Should You Start?
