Pregnancy is associated with predictable changes in posture, spinal loading, pelvic mechanics, and movement patterns. Research shows that pregnancy-related low back pain and pelvic girdle pain are common and influenced by hormonal, biomechanical, and neuromuscular factors.
Evidence-informed chiropractic and manual therapy approaches in pregnancy are described in the literature as focusing on supporting spinal and pelvic function, posture, movement comfort, and nervous system regulation, using techniques adapted to each stage of pregnancy. Care is individualised and delivered alongside standard medical, obstetric, and midwifery care.

Perinatal Chiropractic: Symptom Relief, Labor Preparation & Recovery
Your choice to include chiropractic care during pregnancy often comes down to your personal approach to health at this stage of life. This form of care focuses on supporting the body’s structural alignment, optimal function, and overall wellbeing—physically, chemically, and emotionally. Chiropractors may use gentle adjustments to the spine, cranium and pelvis, complemented by techniques such as soft tissue release, tailored home exercises, and guidance on lifestyle habits to help you feel your best.
🌼 Learn:
“Pelvic alignment during pregnancy is essential for comfort, room for baby to move and eventually descend through the birth canal; And for the proper firing of muscles via a clear nervous system.”
Webster Technique
“The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces nervous system stress, balances pelvic bones, muscles and ligaments; and optimises the mother’a pelvic function in pregnancy and birth” ICPA.
Specific chiropractic care supports pregnancy and birth as a natural process.

Some Pregnancy tips!
🌿 Alignment
Get adjusted! Regular chiropractic care helps maintain spinal and pelvic balance, improves mobility, and supports optimal nervous system communication throughout pregnancy.
Be mindful of your posture. If you sit for long periods, adjust your workspace for comfort and alignment — consider a standing desk or supportive chair.
Hold your phone at eye level. Prevent “tech neck” and reduce unnecessary strain on your spine.
Learn to move mindfully. How you get in and out of bed matters — [watch our how-to video here]
💪 Strength & Stability
Keep your body moving. Exercise supports strength, stability, and circulation during pregnancy.
Favourites: Yoga, swimming, and Pilates are beautiful options for building mobility and core control without overloading your body.
At-home options: Explore our recommended [home exercises here].
🤰 Support
Sleep smart. A pillow between your knees can ease pressure on your hips and lower back. [ Some options are here]
Consider a pregnancy belt. It can gently stabilise your sacroiliac joints and support your growing belly.
Gather your tribe. Know who’s on your team. Say yes to help!
☀️ Calm & Connection
Take breaks in nature. Step outside, breathe deeply, and let the sunshine reset your nervous system.
Rest intentionally. Listen to your body’s cues and honour its changing rhythms — rest is just as vital as movement.
Our Mosman location is easily accessible for pregnant women travelling from Neutral Bay, Cremorne, North Sydney, Manly and the Northern Beaches

Sydney Pregnancy Chiropractic Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Chiropractic care is commonly used during pregnancy and is adapted to suit each stage of pregnancy. Pregnancy-specific chiropractors use gentle, low-force techniques designed to support comfort, movement, and nervous system function without placing pressure on the abdomen. Care is always modified based on individual needs and pregnancy stage.
-
The sooner the better. Many women see a pregnancy chiropractor at any stage of pregnancy — including preconception, the first trimester — particularly if experiencing back pain, pelvic discomfort, postural strain, or reduced mobility. Others choose care throughout pregnancy to support spinal comfort, pelvic balance, and overall physical adaptation as the body changes.
We find we have the best outcomes with care when it starts early.
-
Yes. Pregnancy-related pelvic and lower back discomfort is common due to hormonal changes, posture shifts, and altered movement patterns. Pregnancy-specific chiropractic care focuses on supporting spinal and pelvic function, posture, and muscle balance, which may help reduce discomfort and improve ease of movement during pregnancy.
-
No referral is required to see a chiropractor in Australia. Many pregnant women choose to see a pregnancy chiropractor independently, while others are recommended by their midwife, GP, or allied health provider as part of their pregnancy care team.
-
Yes. Many pregnant women travel to Mosman from across Sydney’s Lower North Shore and Northern Beaches to access pregnancy-specific chiropractic care. Clinics with experience in pregnancy care are often sought out for their gentle approach, pregnancy-appropriate techniques, and understanding of the physical demands of pregnancy.
We care for people from Mosman, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, North Sydney and the North Shore; Manly, Seaforth, Balgowlah and the Northern Beaches. And surrounding suburbs.

Improve your comfort and sleep during pregnancy and postpartum with specific pillows
How can chiropractic care support you after birth?
In the postpartum period, your body continues to adapt and recover from pregnancy and delivery. Gentle, targeted chiropractic care can help address common concerns such as:
Lower back and pelvic discomfort
Pubic symphysis separation and pelvic floor support
Neck aches, jaw tension, and headaches
Shoulder tightness and thoracic outlet issues
Numbness or tingling in the hands (including carpal tunnel)
Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
Challenges with milk supply, mastitis, or infant latch
Assessment for oral and tongue ties
Can Babies Benefit from Chiropractic Care?
Birth is powerful—but it’s not always gentle.
Even in the most natural deliveries, the forces involved can place a lot of stress on a newborn’s delicate spine, skull, and nervous system. If labour was long, fast, or required assistance—like forceps, vacuum, or pulling—the physical impact can be even greater. In some cases, baby’s position in the womb (called intrauterine constraint), exposure to toxins, or the birth process itself may influence how their nervous system functions from the very beginning.
That’s where we come in.
At Nomad Chiropractic, we provide gentle, specific care for babies—always with their developing brain and body in mind. A chiropractic check in the early days of life is about supporting ease, balance, and regulation within their nervous system.
Because when a baby’s nervous system is calm and connected, everything else has the chance to flourish.
🌿 You might consider a chiropractic check if your baby is showing signs such as:
A flattened or irregular head shape
Favouring one side when turning or feeding
Muscle tightness or stiffness through the neck or body
Unsettled behaviour, colic, or inconsolable crying
Reflux, wind, or digestive discomfort
Challenges with latching or feeding
Facial asymmetry
Delayed movement or motor milestones
Skin flare-ups or frequent immune challenges
Trouble with sleep or waking often
An overall sense that “something feels off”
Our paediatric care is safe, gentle, and tailored to your baby’s age and needs. We use light touch, cranial techniques, and calming adjustments to support your child’s development from day one.
We see such amazing results with our baby chiropractic care,
and believe in it so much, that if you’re under pregnancy care with us,
We gift you a free newborn check for your bubba
Because when a baby’s nervous system is calm and connected, everything else has the chance to flourish.
