Pregnancy & Paediatric Care

At Grange Family Chiropractic we strive for great health and balance throughout our lives and to do this Dr Sandy (Chiropractor), as the primary chiropractor, believes that the earlier you are adjusted the more easily you can manage life and its physical, emotional and environmental challenges. Whether seeing children as early as 2 hours old or helping to maintain the stability of a pregnant mother’s pelvis, we believe receiving chiropractic care is a natural and safe way to ensure the greatest possible health for our clients.

Research^1-3 has shown that receiving chiropractic care during pregnancy can help mums overcome common pregnancy issues such as pubic symphysis problems, coccyx pain, and lower back pain in pregnancy¹ and help to reduce labour time² and halve the need for analgesics during labour³.
