Pregnancy Chiropractors
on the Sunshine Coast
Are pregnancy discomforts disrupting your daily routine and causing unnecessary stress? With over 34 years of experience, our dedicated team of chiropractors is here to offer comfort, relief, and support tailored for expectant mothers.
Pregnancy should be a time of excitement, not discomfort
Although it's a wonderful time of life, pregnancy brings about major changes in your body, often accompanied by discomfort and pain such as back pain, sciatica and joint discomfort.
For example, did you know that approximately 50% of Australian women experience low back pain in pregnancy?
Our experienced chiropractors are trained in prenatal care and they understand the unique needs of each trimester. Whether you're in the first stages dealing with morning discomfort or in the final stretch combating low back pain, we will tailor your treatment to your specific challenges.
We will work closely with you to maximise your well-being while considering your individual health concerns, and the needs of your growing baby.
