Pregnancy Chiropractic in Edmonton
Carrying a growing baby is a beautiful experience, but it can bring sharp lower-back aches, hip discomfort, and sleepless nights. As your little one develops, the extra weight shifts your centre of balance, causing your lower back to arch more and placing added pressure on your pelvis and hips.
This change may lead to misalignments, muscle spasms, and pain that make it difficult to walk, sit, or even rest comfortably. In response, Edmonton Chiropractor Dr. Kenny Chan provides gentle, evidence-based chiropractic care designed specifically for expecting mothers, from the first semester right up until birth.
How Adjustments Enhance Mobility
Our care focuses on misalignments in the pelvis and lower back when they shift out of position, and working on the surrounding muscles to help relieve tension and discomfort. The goal is simple: to help you walk, sit, sleep, and function better throughout your pregnancy so you can enjoy this special time.
Our chiropractor uses techniques very similar to those used for non-pregnant patients in the early stages, then adapts the approach as your baby grows and lying flat becomes more difficult. This personalized adjustment ensures you receive care that meets your changing needs at every stage of pregnancy.
The Importance of Post-Partum Care
After you give birth, it’s important to have your hips and pelvis checked. During delivery, these structures expand significantly to allow your baby to enter the world, which may create misalignments throughout your back. Addressing these issues before your pelvis settles back into place may help you recover more comfortably and avoid long-term discomfort as you care for your newborn.
Whether you’re experiencing mild discomfort or severe symptoms that interfere with daily activities, we’ll create a care plan tailored to your needs. Some mothers benefit from visits every two to four weeks, while those with more significant challenges may need more frequent adjustments early on.
