Navigating Pregnancy with Chiropractic Care

Every person that calls themselves a chiropractor in the UK must be on a Government Register (with the general Chiropractic Council – GCC). In other words, as the Profession has statutory Regulation, each Chiropractor in the UK will have undergone a minimum amount of training and will have a recognized qualification. Usually Chiropractors train for four to five years, with three or four years intensive pre-clinical education, followed by a clinical year. Once fully qualified, Chiropractors are required to undergo Continual Professional Development by attending courses to keep ahead of the latest techniques and protocols. Without this, they cannot stay on the Government Register.

A chiropractic adjustment involves gentle techniques to restore joint function and mobility. Our chiropractors are highly skilled in various adjusting methods, using either their hands or a special instrument (activator) to deliver precise thrusts. Some methods are quick, while others use slow, constant pressure.

Generally, a chiropractic adjustment does not hurt – although there may be some minor discomfort which quickly passes. You will normally find that follow-up treatments are much more pleasant, as your symptoms improve and many people experience a feeling of general well-being after an adjustment.
