Our pregnancy chiropractic care in Cairns is natural and gentle. It’s designed to support your body and maximise comfort and wellbeing through all stages of pregnancy, including preparation for birth and delivery. Benefits can include helping to alleviate mid-back and lower-back pain, supporting pelvic alignment and creating the best possible space for your baby to grow and move. Our chiropractic pregnancy care and treatment is provided by both Dr Karen and Dr Kim. Dr Karen has many years of experience in family and pregnancy chiropractic care. Dr Kim is a member of the ICPA (International Chiropractic Paediatric Association) and has training in the Webster technique, a specific chiropractic approach used to support balance in the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues during pregnancy. While the Webster technique is not a direct treatment for breech presentation, improving pelvic alignment and tone may help create a more optimal environment for baby to move into their best possible position. Together, they offer supportive pregnancy chiropractic care in Cairns. To make an appointment, contact us on (07) 4055 1667 or reception@stratfordchiropractic.com.au
Our chiropractors are passionate about assisting families on their health journey, and this often starts with pregnant Mums. Dr Karen and Dr Kim are registered chiropractors with AHPRA and have many years of experience in pregnancy and family care. Dr Karen uses very specific, gentle techniques on our pregnancy patients including Gonstead, Sacro-occipital (SOT) and Activator. Dr Kim has a strong focus on perinatal and paediatric chiropractic and uses techniques such as Webster to support pelvic alignment and comfort during pregnancy. In addition, they are both Mums and are personally familiar with the pregnancy journey and changes that occur during gestation. Initial consultations usually take between 30–45 minutes and begin with a comprehensive history and assessment so we can tailor care to your individual needs.

Our pregnancy chiropractic care in Cairns supports your body and nervous system throughout all stages of pregnancy. It is safe, pain and drug free. It can help you remain comfortable and alleviate lower back pain, joint and muscle discomfort and sciatica. *It can also assist your body to adapt to gravitational and hormonal changes, occurring during the pregnancy and assist with the optimal positioning at birth.
*Moving towards labour, our Chiropractor Cairns pregnancy care can help to enable the mother’s body to have correct biomechanics of the spine and pelvis during birth, which may assist with the baby’s head to apply even pressure to the cervix which enables your body to dilate effectively during labour. This may decrease or eliminate the need for pain relief during delivery and contribute to a more straight forward labour, with less pain and trauma.
