How Does Osteopathy Help With Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey, but it can also bring a host of physical challenges. As your body adapts to the growing life within, aches, pains, and discomfort often become part of the experience. At City Osteopathy, we believe that pregnancy should be a time of empowerment and well-being, and our approach is designed to support you through this incredible journey.
What Is Osteopathy and How Can It Help During Pregnancy?
Osteopathy is a holistic, non-invasive form of healthcare that focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. By using gentle, hands-on techniques, osteopaths aim to restore balance and improve mobility. During pregnancy, these techniques can be especially beneficial in addressing the physical strains caused by postural changes, weight distribution, and hormonal shifts.
At City Osteopathy, we go beyond symptom management by identifying and addressing the root causes of discomfort. Our practitioners understand the complex relationship between the musculoskeletal system, circulatory-lymphatic system, and overall well-being, tailoring each treatment to the unique needs of every expecting mother.
Common Pregnancy Issues We Can Help
- Lower Back Pain: As the baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, putting extra strain on your lower back. Osteopathy can help relieve this pain by improving spinal alignment and muscle balance.
- Pelvic Pain: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) are common in pregnancy. We use gentle manipulations to ease tension and improve pelvic stability.
- Sciatica: Pregnancy-related sciatica often results from pressure on the sciatic nerve. Osteopathic techniques can alleviate nerve compression and reduce pain.
- Swelling and Circulation Issues: Osteopathy can promote better blood flow and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet.
- Digestive Discomfort: Many pregnant women experience heartburn and indigestion. Osteopathy may help by improving diaphragmatic function and reducing abdominal pressure.
