Pregnancy Chiropractic in Brooklin
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it also brings significant physical changes that are sometimes not so pleasant. As your body adapts to accommodate your growing baby, you may notice changes in posture, balance, mobility, and overall comfort. At Dr. Katharine du Quesnay, we provide gentle chiropractic care for expectant mothers throughout every stage of pregnancy.
Comfortable Care for Mothers-to-Be
Many women are surprised to learn how comfortable chiropractic visits can be during pregnancy. We use specialized positioning, supportive pillows, and pregnancy-friendly techniques to help ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. Our office also features a Hi-Lo table that lowers for easier access, allowing patients to step on and off safely without unnecessary strain. This can be particularly helpful as pregnancy progresses and mobility becomes more challenging. Rest assured that every visit is adapted to your individual needs and stage of pregnancy.
Chiropractic Care Throughout Pregnancy
Women seek chiropractic care during pregnancy for a variety of reasons. Some are looking for care related to the physical changes that occur during pregnancy, others are interested in maintaining mobility and comfort as their body changes. Some families are focused on creating the best outcomes for the baby, whether it be in-utero development, the labour and delivery or post-partum stages. It’s often a combination of benefits these soon-to-be parents have in mind.
Dr. Katharine du Quesnay is Webster Technique certified and has completed extensive postgraduate training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol that focuses on the pelvis and surrounding structures during pregnancy. Many families choose to include chiropractic care as part of their prenatal healthcare routine alongside their physician, midwife, or doula.
Care at Any Stage
Chiropractic care can be considered before pregnancy, during any trimester, and after delivery. Some patients begin care while preparing for pregnancy, while others first visit later in pregnancy when physical demands become more noticeable. Regardless of when you begin, our goal is to assess your individual needs and provide care that aligns with your health goals. Many mothers also continue care after delivery as they adjust to the physical demands of a rapidly changing body and of caring for a newborn.
