Pregnancy

Here at Ridgeway Chiropractic Clinic in Newport we are privileged to treat a number of pregnant mums-to-be.
As it is estimated that fifty percent of all pregnant women experience back pain during their pregnancy this forms the majority of our consultations. During pregnancy, the ligaments in your body naturally become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour. This can put a strain on the joints especially of your lower back and pelvis, which can cause backache. 

In addition to low back pain, other common reasons for consultation include:

– pelvic pain
– neck pain
– leg pain
– chest pain

Our chiropractic treatment is very gentle and our chiropractors use specific techniques to help and alleviate pain and discomfort as well as encouraging an easier delivery.
Our aim is to provide a high level of care throughout your pregnancy to ensure your comfort and safety, and we offer aftercare once your baby has arrived.
