Comfort & Support for Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be a beautiful and challenging adventure. As your baby grows, your body undergoes significant changes that can create discomfort and stress. Your center of gravity shifts forward, your lower back curve increases, and your body works overtime to create the perfect environment for your little one.
At Church Road Chiropractic, we help support both you and your baby throughout your pregnancy journey with specialised prenatal chiropractic care that focuses on optimal nervous system function, comfort, and preparation for an easier birth.
Supporting Your Body's Natural Changes
Your body is amazingly designed to nurture and deliver your growing baby.
It’s also a time when your nervous system needs to be firing on all cylinders. Chiropractic removes nerve interference to help your brain and body communicate clearly with each other, as well as your baby. Your nervous system regulates your hormone production and release, which is vital during pregnancy.
A clear nervous system is also able to shift more easily between a sympathetic (fight or flight) response and a peaceful parasympathetic (rest and digest) state that improves your sleep, digestion, and mental health.
Pregnancy can also create unique biomechanical challenges for your nervous system and musculoskeletal system
- Forward shift in your center of mass
- Increased curve in your lower back
- Increased relaxin hormone loosening ligaments, potentially increasing misalignments and joint instability
- Stretched and tightened round ligaments
- Pressure on spinal nerves
- Pelvic instability
However, chiropractic care can help your body adapt to all these changes while maintaining optimal function for both you and your baby.

I have been visiting Gopal for some time now & honestly it really has changed my whole body posture ! My initial visit was due to lower back pain & stiffness, along with wanting to get control of the issue, before I tried for a baby without having to worry that I would be in pain during my pregnancy, all which I explained to Gopal. Following some of my first visits I was involved in a car accident, which didn’t help the back pain, but quite quickly Gopal worked his magic & fixed the issues I was having & it meant visits only needed to be as & when I felt I needed adjustments. During my pregnancy, I only needed to visit Gopal once & during the visit he was able to tell me issues he could feel my body was having without me even telling him ! I honestly cannot recommend Gopal enough & I have recommended him to friends & family !! The shop is also easy to find & appointments can be booked quickly compared to other chriopractors who have long wait times. Thank you again Gopal !
