Chiropractic for the whole family
|
Chiropractic care is about more than making your back pain disappear. Chiropractic is a natural, holistic approach to your health that aims to improve your quality of life. We educate our patients about chiropractic and other natural solutions to common health problems in order to give you a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining you and your families health.

When is the right time to be seen by a chiropractor if you are pregnant?
Normal and common are two different things. It is common to experience pain, but that does not mean it is normal. The moment you suffer from pain is the moment to make a booking. Ideally we would see each pregnant mum as soon as they are comfortable. There is no time too early to come in for an assessment. If everything is progressing well an initial assessment around 20 weeks is a great place to start.
