Pregnancy Chiropractor in Canberra
At Universal Chiropractic, we are particularly passionate about providing natural and non-invasive chiropractic care for mothers-to-be.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care for a Healthy Pregnancy
You may wonder why it’s a good idea to see a chiropractor during pregnancy. At Universal Chiropractic, we focus on assessing the biomechanics of the pregnant woman’s pelvis. Whether or not you’re in pain, it’s wise to have your pelvis checked to ensure it’s moving well and can properly accommodate your baby.
Many women experience soreness in their pelvis, hips, or back during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can often help alleviate these discomforts. We recommend prenatal chiropractic care throughout your pregnancy, as it can be beneficial for both mother and baby. Our practice is equipped with specialised tools to ensure comfort and safety for expectant mothers.

Specialised Care
Dr Kathy Knight, our principal paediatric chiropractor, is certified with the International Chiropractic Paediatric Association and as a Webster Technique practitioner. The Webster technique was specifically developed to support pregnant women. She focuses on helping adult and paediatric patients achieve optimal health and has done so for more than 20 years.
The Benefits of Consulting a Pregnancy Chiropractor
As your baby grows, your centre of gravity naturally shifts, causing changes in your posture. These gentle adjustments in your body are a normal part of pregnancy.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can provide support during this time, helping you feel more comfortable as your back and pelvis adjust in preparation for labour.
As your prenatal chiropractor, Dr Kathy focuses on realigning your spine and joints to restore function and support the nervous system they are connected to. These adjustments can help:
- Ease back, hip, and joint discomfort
- Improve posture and balance
- Increase pelvic space for optimal baby positioning
- Reduce tension and stress in the body
- Enhance overall well-being and comfort during pregnancy
Individualised Care for Optimal Health
At Universal Chiropractic, each client receives a personalised approach and tailored care plan according to their specific needs. We factor in everything from your overall health, age, stage of pregnancy, and any other health concerns.
Pregnancy is a beautiful experience, but it can also be a challenging one, often taking its toll on your body as it makes room for your baby to develop and grow. If you’re pregnant, ask yourself whether it may be worth your while to allow our pregnancy chiropractor to adjust your pelvis and spine to restore and alleviate discomfort. Then give us a call to make an appointment and start feeling more comfortable during this special and wondrous time.
