Gentle, Safe Chiropractic Care Throughout Your Pregnancy

Pregnancy changes your body in remarkable ways — but back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatic pain are not things you simply have to put up with. At The Back Clinic, our experienced team provides gentle, supportive chiropractic care specifically designed for pregnant women at every stage of pregnancy.

Whether you’re in your first trimester or counting down the final weeks, we’re here to help your body feel its best — for you, and for your growing baby.

New patients are always welcome at our Bankstown and Rockdale clinics. Led by Dr Alissar Ayouby (Chiropractor), our team has a strong focus on women’s health and postpartum recovery, supporting you to feel more comfortable throughout your journey.

Lower Back Pain in Pregnancy

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes — when provided by a trained and experienced chiropractor, chiropractic care is widely considered safe throughout pregnancy. Our team uses gentle, low-force techniques specifically adapted for pregnant women, and our treatment tables are designed to accommodate your changing body comfortably at every stage.

What can a pregnancy chiropractor help with?

Pregnancy places significant physical demands on your body. Our pregnancy chiropractors in Sydney commonly help patients with:

  • Lower back pain and stiffness

  • Pelvic girdle pain and SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction)

  • Sciatica — shooting pain down the leg

  • Hip pain and round ligament pain

  • Neck, upper back, and rib discomfort

  • Postural changes from a growing belly

  • General discomfort and tension throughout pregnancy

Reviews and Case Studies

A literature review (Borggren) published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine reviewed 33 peer-viewed scientific articles on the topic of chiropractic care and pregnancy. The review noted that “the current literature reports favorable results on the use of chiropractic care throughout pregnancy.”

A chiropractic and medical collaborative study (Shaw) published in the Journal of the American Chiropractic Association also found that chiropractic helped to relieve pain during pregnancy. Their study indicated that 75% of pregnant patients who received chiropractic care while pregnant found relief from pain.

Treatment Options for Pregnancy Back Pain

To help ease discomfort and support your body through pregnancy, your chiropractor may recommend a combination of gentle, pregnancy-safe treatments:

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments to support better spinal alignment and reduce joint pressure.
  • Soft tissue therapy to ease muscle tightness in the lower back, hips, and pelvis.
  • Postural and ergonomic advice to help you move, sit, and sleep more comfortably during pregnancy.
  • Stretching and stability exercises tailored to strengthen your core and support your changing body.
