Chiropractic Pregnancy & Paediatric Care
Chiropractic during pregnancy
The body changes significantly during pregnancy and this can include the softening of ligaments, weight increase and postural changes, all of which are normal but can often lead to an increase in pressure on joints, including the spine and pelvis.
Charles Robottom is trained to work with pregnant women and will use safe, gentle techniques that are suitable for your condition during pregnancy.
​
Chiropractic care offers a safe and gentle way of relieving discomfort and minimising back pain during your pregnancy.
​
If you are already receiving care from Charles and find out you are pregnant, please let him know on your next visit. Charles will need to adapt his treatment plan for you, in order to deliver safe and effective care.
Chiropractic for babies and children
Chiropractic care for babies and children is suitable for children at all stages of development. Charles is trained in assessing and treating babies and infants and is happy to answer any questions you may have.
The techniques used on babies and infants are delicate, careful and tailored to your child and their individual needs. The treatment used for babies and infants is modified to use a slight pressure with a sustained release called touch and hold technique. Manipulative techniques are not used for babies and infants.
​
New appointments will be 1 hour and Charles Robottom will go through a detailed medical history that will include questions about the pregnancy and delivery.
