Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

For many pregnant women, aches and pains in the lower back and hips are part of the experience. In fact, approximately 50 percent of pregnant women will experience back pain at some point before they deliver. During pregnancy, there are many changes that occur in the body to accommodate the growth of the baby. These changes often lead to common aches and discomfort pregnant mothers experience, such as low back pain. Regular visits to a chiropractor during pregnancy can address these issues.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Yes, absolutely. Over at Live Well Chiropractic, Dr Siew Wei performs Webster technique which is a specific chiropractic sacral and pelvic analysis and adjustment specifically for pregnant moms. Webster technique is helpful in improving the nervous system function, providing a more balanced pelvic bone, muscles and ligaments. Side effects may include lesser lower back pain, more comfort and movement, better sleep, and posture, it also optimises the baby’s ability to get into the best possible position for birth.

Common Pregnancy Symptoms

During pregnancy, women may experience a wide range of symptoms due to the changes happening in their bodies. Here are some of the most common symptoms that Chiropractic care can help with:

Back pain (especially lower back region)
Pelvic pain
Changes in Posture Alignment
Sciatica
Headaches
Fatigue

How Early Can We Start Getting Adjusted During Pregnancy?

There is generally no wrong or right time to begin Chiropractic care when you're expecting. However, we would suggest to start prenatal Chiropractic adjustments as soon as possible to make as much corrections to the spine and surrounding muscles so you're able to enjoy your entire pregnancy.

Can Chiropractors Turn Breech Babies?

What we can do is gently and specifically adjust the mother’s spine and pelvis back into a proper balanced state, re-establishing normal physiological function. When it reaches a balanced state, the baby can do what it's designed to do, which is to find the best possible position for itself for birth.

I had suffer lower back slip disc at my L4 bone for 13 years. Way back, i had went to hospital for MRI scan, refer to bone specialist and even tried TCM but non of them work well. Time and money spend in the past but the aching/pain just cannot resolve hence at one point of time i had already given up the hope for my slip disc and have the mind set to just live with the pain forever. Recently, happen to saw Chiropractic Ads in my facebook so i decided to give it a try. Did some research online and found LiveWell Sengkang so decided to give it a last tried. Dr Siew Wei was my chiropractor. After 2 session with Dr Siew Wei, realize my back was not as ache as before and surprisingly my body movement had improved as previously due to the aching/pain my body movement when straightening my back is like having this one to two sec pain/aching lag time whenever i bend down and up to do thing. Somehow, Chiropractic improve my body movement and daily lifestyle so I decided to sign up for a 20 session with Dr Siew Wei to continue maintaining my back ache. Overall, i feel the time and money spend is really worth here as I can really see the result here after 2 session with Dr Siew Wei.

I had an ankle surgery 6 months ago and with a scoliosis, it definitely affected my walking during rehabilitation. And I also suffered from severe back pain. with proper exercises, stretching and Chiropractic treatment with Dr. Jessie. I definitely feel a huge improvement on my walking and there’s lesser back pain. Dr. Jessie is a very well versed Chiropractor, she is also very friendly and tends to every patient with different specific treatment. I had chiro treatment done few years back and this is definitely a better clinic! Also I would like to thank the counter staff for always being flexible with my timing.

Made an appt after feeling stiff necks and shoulders. Attended to by Dr Kenney. Recommended to do an x-ray and realised I have cervical neck. Now midway to the treatment and feeling much better. Even the chest tightness I used to have, is also better now (yes, chest tightness or pain can be caused by chiropractic issues). Definitely recommend - most of time, the appt are punctual and treatments are fast.

Dr Kenney is very professional and patient. He will check with you any pain and adjust treatment accordingly. There is no pain for doing chiropractic unlike surgery. Though it will take some times to improve body condition progressively.
