Pregnancy Chiropractic

Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it also brings significant physical changes that can sometimes lead to discomfort. At East Perth Chiropractic, we’re committed to helping expectant mums feel their best with gentle, natural care designed to support your body during this special time.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

One of the most common questions we receive is whether chiropractic care is safe for pregnant women. The answer is yes! Chiropractic care focuses on maintaining proper alignment of the spine and joints, all without the use of medications or invasive procedures. This can help alleviate the additional strain on your body caused by pregnancy, allowing for better overall comfort and wellness.

Why Consider Chiropractic During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body as it prepares for childbirth:

• Physical Changes: As your baby grows, your belly expands, your posture adjusts, and the curvature of your spine changes. Hormonal shifts cause ligaments in the pelvic area to loosen, increasing the risk of misalignments.
• Increased Stress: These changes can create added pressure on your back, hips, and joints, making it more likely for aches and pains to occur.

Chiropractic care can help address these challenges naturally, reducing discomfort and promoting optimal alignment.

Benefits of Pregnancy Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy may provide several benefits, including:

• Easing Tension for Baby Positioning: Relaxed ligaments make it easier for your baby to move into the ideal position for delivery. However, excessive stress on these ligaments can restrict movement. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce this tension and support proper positioning.
• Relieving Back Pain: The extra weight of pregnancy often leads to back pain and poor posture. Regular care can help align the spine, reducing lower back discomfort and other pregnancy-related pains, such as headaches, hip tightness, and neck tension.
• Improving Mobility: Gentle adjustments can improve joint flexibility and support better overall movement as your body adapts to pregnancy.

What You Can Expect

At East Perth Chiropractic, we tailor care to your unique needs. During your first visit, we’ll conduct a detailed consultation and examination to understand the root cause of any discomfort. From there, we’ll create a personalised care plan to support your health and well-being throughout your pregnancy.

If additional care is needed, we collaborate closely with other health professionals, including massage therapists, general practitioners, and psychologists, to ensure you receive comprehensive support.

Your Comfort Comes First

We know how challenging it can be to find comfortable positions as your pregnancy progresses. That’s why we offer specialised facilities, including:

• Pregnancy Pillows: Designed to support your growing belly while lying down.
• Adjustable Tables: Customised to accommodate your comfort, whether you prefer lying on your stomach or side.
• Pregnancy Massage: A soothing addition to your care plan that can help relieve tension and promote relaxation.

Meet Dr. Ray Saberi

Movement and physical activity have always been central to my life. From competing in state-level gymnastics as a child to pursuing martial arts and playing club-level soccer for the past 22 years, staying active has been my passion.

My journey with chiropractic began after a complex soccer injury. After trying various treatments with little success, I turned to a chiropractor. During my first consultation, I was amazed to uncover the true cause of my injury and inspired by the simple, effective path back to health. This experience sparked my deep appreciation for the transformative power of chiropractic care.
