As a female chiropractor and recipient of the prestigious Paediatric Practice Award, Dr Sophie Laurie at City Chiropractic brings both professional insight and personal understanding to support you through this special time.

Support From Conception to Delivery

The earlier you begin chiropractic care in your pregnancy journey, the better prepared your body will be for the changes ahead. Whether you’re planning for conception or already expecting, our gentle approaches help your body adapt to carrying your growing baby. Many women find that starting care during the conception phase helps create optimal conditions for pregnancy, though we welcome mothers-to-be at any stage of their journey.

Common Challenges That Can Benefit From Our Care

As changes occur to accommodate your growing baby, you might experience sciatica, back discomfort, or pubic symphysis pain. These common pregnancy challenges often respond well to appropriate chiropractic care. Our adjustments focus on maintaining proper pelvic alignment, which may help reduce pregnancy discomfort and support optimal fetal positioning.

The physical demands of pregnancy affect your entire body, from your lower back to your neck and shoulders. Regular chiropractic visits help address these changes, supporting your body’s natural ability to adapt throughout each trimester. Many women report improved sleep, better mobility, and reduced discomfort with consistent care.

Tailored Techniques for Your Changing Body

Your comfort and wellbeing guide every aspect of our prenatal care approach. We use several gentle methods, including the renowned Webster Technique, specifically developed for pregnant women. Each visit is customised to your stage of pregnancy and personal needs, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care.

Our approach combines traditional Diversified techniques with drop table methods, always modified to suit your comfort level and pregnancy stage. This flexibility allows us to adapt our care as your pregnancy progresses, ensuring you receive consistent support throughout your journey. Every adjustment is gentle and considerate of your changing body’s needs.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Changes

From your first visit, we take time to understand your unique prenatal experience. Our thorough assessment helps us develop a personalised approach that evolves with your changing needs throughout each trimester. We’ll explain every technique and adjustment, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable with your care plan.

Regular chiropractic visits during these stages help:

Support your body’s natural ability to adapt to postural changes
Maintain pelvic balance for optimal baby positioning
Address pregnancy-related joint discomfort
Prepare your body for labour and delivery

Support your changing centre of gravity as your baby grows
Help maintain comfort during daily activities
Support proper nervous system function throughout
Assist with balance and coordination as your body changes

Many women find regular chiropractic care helps them maintain their active lifestyle throughout pregnancy. Whether you’re experiencing specific challenges or simply want to support your body’s natural adaptations, we’re here to help guide you along your path with greater comfort and confidence.

Tools to Enrich Your Prenatal Experience

We believe in empowering mothers-to-be with knowledge about their changing bodies. During your visits, we’ll share insights about posture and movement and simple strategies you can use at home to support your well-being between appointments. We aim to help you feel confident and capable throughout your pregnancy.

Many of our prenatal patients appreciate having a female chiropractor who understands pregnancy’s physical and emotional aspects. We create a welcoming, supportive environment where you can freely discuss your concerns and celebrate the changes happening in your body.
