WHO WE HELP
Pregnant Mums
Pregnancy is one of the most incredible seasons of change a woman’s body can go through.
Your body is growing, adapting and preparing to bring a little life into the world — and while that process is amazing, it can also come with new pressures, discomforts and physical demands.
Maybe your lower back is starting to ache.
Maybe pelvic pain is making walking, sleeping or rolling over harder.
Maybe your posture feels different as your body changes.
Maybe you’re feeling more tension through your hips, ribs, neck or shoulders.
Maybe you’re trying to stay active, comfortable and connected to your body throughout pregnancy.
Or maybe you simply want to feel supported as your body prepares for birth and motherhood.
At Better., we are passionate about caring for pregnant women because we know how important this season is — for both mum and baby.
During pregnancy, your spine, pelvis, muscles, ligaments and nervous system are all adapting to support your growing baby. These changes can sometimes contribute to discomfort, tension or changes in how your body is moving and functioning.
Research has also reported that women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy experienced, on average, shorter labour times — including 25% shorter labour times for first-time mothers and 31% shorter labour times for women in subsequent pregnancies. As with all research, individual experiences vary, and our focus is always on supporting you with care that is appropriate for your body, your pregnancy and your goals.
Our role is to help you understand your body during pregnancy and support you with care that is gentle, specific and adapted to your stage of pregnancy.
Our approach begins with a thorough assessment. We take time to listen to you, understand your pregnancy journey, assess your posture, movement, spine and pelvis, and explain what we find in a way that feels clear and reassuring.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is always modified to suit you, your comfort levels and your stage of pregnancy. We use pregnancy-friendly techniques and positioning, and we always explain what we are doing before we do it, so you feel informed, safe and supported.
Whether you are navigating back pain, pelvic discomfort, postural changes, sleep challenges, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable and connected in your body, we’re here to walk alongside you through pregnancy and beyond.
Better. supports mums through pregnancy, birth preparation and the beautiful beginning of life with baby.

Schedule a time to consult with one of our extensively trained chiropractors and experience our incredibly refined and thorough neurostructural assessment. You’ll have the opportunity to speak with one of our friendly team members before you visit us, to ask any questions and ensure you’re fully informed as we get started with helping you and/or your family.

At your Initial Consultation we’ll take a deep dive into your health history, asking questions you’ve probably never been asked before as we seek to uncover the root cause, so that you will not only feel truly seen and heard, we’ll begin to find helpful answers. Our INSiGHT Scanning technology applies three unique scans which allow us to find and measure specific areas of imbalance and dysfunction within your nervous system. These state-of-the-art scans are a vital piece of the puzzle in achieving extraordinary results, and they are non-invasive and safe for all ages, from infants to elderly. We also have digital X-ray facilities onsite and available whenever clinically necessary.tion text goes here

Following your Initial Consultation, we’ll schedule a Report of Findings. At this appointment your chiropractor will provide a detailed explanation of your INSiGHT Scan findings and the results of any other images or tests, and help you to connect the dots from your history so that you ultimately understand why things are the way they are. We’ll present you with a tailored care plan that is designed to help you achieve the outcomes you desire, based upon the results of your initial assessment. At this point we’ll clearly explain all of the necessary details of what you need to do to get better, how long it will take and what it will cost. Within this conversation we are committed to finding a pathway forward that not only suits your healthcare needs, but your budget and calendar availability as well.
