Maternity chiropractic
Chiropractor for pregnancy in Poundbury, Dorchester
Pregnancy and the early stages of infancy are remarkable and transformative periods in a person’s life. During this time, the body undergoes significant changes, and proper healthcare is crucial for both the mother and the baby’s well-being. Chiropractic care offers a holistic and non-invasive approach that can provide numerous benefits for pregnant women and new-borns alike. In this post, we will explore the role of a chiropractor for pregnant women, and how to promote a healthy pregnancy and supporting optimal baby development.
Pregnancy brings about significant changes in a woman’s body to accommodate the growing baby. These changes include hormonal fluctuations, gait modification, weight gain, and a shifting center of gravity. As the pregnancy progresses, the body releases hormones like relaxin, which relaxes the ligaments and joints in preparation for childbirth. These changes can lead to various musculoskeletal issues and discomforts.
Common musculoskeletal issues during pregnancy
As the baby grows, the increased weight in the front can cause the curvature of the lower back to increase, leading to strain and pain in the lower back region (sacrum, lumbars and SI joints). Hormonal changes can also affect the stability of the pelvic joints, leading to pelvic girdle pain or symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD). This can cause discomfort while walking, climbing stairs, or changing positions.
Moreover, the sciatic nerve can become compressed or irritated due to the pressure exerted by the growing uterus, resulting in pain, tingling, or numbness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
Round ligament
One common complaint experienced by many pregnant women is round ligament pain.
What is the round ligament?ย
The round ligament is a band of connective tissue that support the uterus. It connects the front of the uterus to the groin area, helping to keep the uterus in its proper position. During pregnancy, the round ligament undergo significant stretching and lengthening to accommodate the growing uterus and the developing baby. This stretching can sometimes lead to discomfort and pain, commonly known as round ligament pain.ย
Round ligament pain typically occurs during the second trimester of pregnancy and may persist until the third trimester. It is often triggered by sudden movements or changes in position. Some common causes and symptoms of round ligament pain include:
Rapid growth of the uterus: as the uterus expands to accommodate the growing baby, the round ligaments are stretched, leading to pain or discomfort.
Sudden movements or position changes: activities like standing up quickly, rolling over in bed, coughing, or sneezing can strain the round ligaments, causing sharp or stabbing pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen or groin area.
Increased blood flow: the increased blood flow during pregnancy can cause the round ligaments to become engorged, leading to discomfort.
Symptoms of round ligament pain may vary but often include sharp, shooting pains that last for a few seconds or minutes. The pain may be more noticeable on one side and can radiate to the back or thighs. It is typically more pronounced during physical activity and tends to subside with rest.
Benefits of seeing a chiropractor for pregnancy
Chiropractic care during pregnancy offers several benefits for women experiencing musculoskeletal issues and discomfort. Some of the key benefits include:
Relieving back pain and pelvic discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper alignment of the spine and pelvis, reducing stress on the joints and relieving pain in the lower back and pelvis.
Improving posture and alignment: Pregnancy can cause postural changes and misalignments in the spine. Chiropractic adjustments can realign the spine, promoting better posture and reducing strain on the muscles and ligaments. Seeing a maternity chiropractor is very often highly beneficial both in terms of treatment and also advice.ย
Promoting optimal fetal positioning. Proper alignment of the pelvis and spine can create a more favorable environment for the baby to move into the optimal position for birth, potentially reducing the risk of complications during labor.
Enhancing nervous system function: Chiropractic adjustments can improve nervous system function by ensuring proper communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can support overall health and well-being for both the mother and the baby.
Reducing the need for medication or invasive interventions. Seeing a chiropractor for pregnancy provides a drug-free and non-invasive approach to managing musculoskeletal discomfort during this delicate moment. By addressing the root cause of the issues, it can help reduce the reliance on pain medications or more invasive interventions.
We see expecting women weekly at the clinic. The results we get are outstanding and quite exciting, there nothing better than helping someone during this wonderful stage of life. Book your consultation HERE.

I visited Alive back in January for a free consultation and opinion for my regular migraines and knee pain due to a physically challenging job. The team was friendly and welcoming. Edo who did the assessment then recommended a 3 month plan of treatments including adjustments and massage therapy. I instantly began to notice the frequency of my migraines decreasing along with my knee pain being completely gone due to my hip realignment. Highly recommended, thank you!

Edoardo was way beyond professional efficient and helpful. Being his regular clients gives me peace of mine. His care was absolutely outstanding when I had a back injury and needed professional help in the peak season of weddings. Edoardo not only helped me in person but kept in touch with me kinda like being on call and was keen to respond my messages and thanks for his professional care and enthusiasm I was able to recover quicker than I thought! Would only recommend him and his services to anyone to protect your health and prevent downfalls with body alignment. Absolutely amazing business!

I was first introduced to Alive Chiropractic two years ago when I was in a lot of neck and shoulder pain. It was then detected that my pelvis needed adjustment. Alive Chiropractic have worked on these areas so I now suffer very little pain , this is because I receive monthly maintenance appointments. There is no reason to be in pain as Alive Chiropractic are always at the end of a phone. I am currently suffering from sciatica which again is now being treated.
I would fully recommend Alive Chiropractic,
Edo is a very warm, welcoming caring and does not judge.

When I first visited Edo, I was struggling with poor posture and persistent back pain. In a surprisingly short period, my posture improved dramaticallyโI now stand up straight effortlessly, something I never thought possible. The constant upper back pain I had has almost completely gone. Edo's approach to treatment is very holistic, he doesnโt just treat the symptoms but provides guidance to achieve overall improved health and well-being. I now feel that I have a much greater understanding of my body, and how to look after it properly!

Been with Dr Edo since he began in Poundbury and have been so happy I walked in his door .

He has been so much help to me over this time and I would recommend his gifts to everyone.
A truly lovely man and gifted communicator and practitioner.
If in pain go and give him a try , living in a body that feels like a prison is no fun but this guy has the keys to set you free!

I have been a patient of the Alive Chiropractor clinic for the last six weeks. Following a stroke in March 2022 I had been suffering with a walking imbalance and general lack of mobility. I would say that my improvement stands somewhere between 60-70% already. I would happily recommend the clinic to anyone that is suffering to book themselves an appointment.

After visiting Dr. Edoardo at the Alive chiropractic clinic, I booked a block booking of 12 sessions. From start to finish he made me feel very comfortable, and as each session went on i began to feel much better within myself.
As well as the work he done with me in the clinic, he has taught me many different exercises to help me with the problems in which i suffer with, as well as explaining to me how my diet can also help me going forward.
He has been a great help, and i shall continue to see him in the future so that he can help me maintain ( and improve) my well being.
Regards
Peter

Communications are easy and booking ahead is brilliant for me and my schedule.

This is my first experience with chiropractic ever, and it has been life changing! I have a slipped lumbar disc and I was in lots of pain and had very limited mobility. I saw Edo for a few appointments and not only did my back get better, it has stayed that way since! I am doing the exercises he prescribed and now I am only seeing him for maintenance and I feel better than ever, more relaxed and aware of my posture overall . He is a good listener, very informative, professional and communicative.

A wonderful experience so far with Dr Edo at his clinic in Poundbury. I have come away from my first six sessions feeling so much more aware and in tune with my body, and I have experienced noticeable changes in my body and mindset also.
Dr Edo is professional, knowledge, and believes firmly in his work which he is clearly passionate about. I feel he has an empowering vision, cares deeply, and has a refreshing balance of western and eastern understanding. Because of this, Dr Edo has a deeper, holistic approach by taking into account all aspects of one's lifestyle (diet, exercise, mental/emotional state) in sessions. For someone like myself who values a holistic perspective on health, Dr Edo's approach is invaluable and helped me relax and feel at great ease. Sam in reception is lovely and you instantly feel welcomed when coming in for a session also. Thank you to you both. Highly recommend!

Dr. Edo has a very calm temperament and his knowledge aids in your own relaxation, which is a help when your own flexibility, mobility or posture are far from relaxed. Sam, the Chiropractic assistant, is the first person to greet you when you arrive and will explain the fundamentals of the practice. The practice is clean, modern and has ample road side parking. The whole experience has been a success and I am now able to move without pain, the new mobility gained will enable me to get on with life and have new experiences and adventures, for this I thank you.

I attended Alive chiropractor after seeing a special offer they were offering and suffering from a bad back for a long time it felt like a good idea to go see what they said. Since this I have been attending twice a week and the improvements are happening. Edo is very knowledgeable and really wants the best for you he doesn't just care about the back or other pains you may be having but also acknowledges the impact these things can have on you emotionally and personally. I can't recommend this service enough.

I have just finished initial treatment for my back problem. Appointments with the NHS in the past have never resulted in a diagnosis let alone treatment. However at Alive I received a diagnosis and treatment plan on the initial consultation. This set out exactly how I was going to be treated and cost. Following the treatment I could not be healthier or happier. An exceptionally professional service in which Dr Edoardo Elisei seems passionate about what he does. It is more than just a hands on treatment on his 'couch', but a full lifestyle treatment ensuring exercises and diet are in balance to assist recovery and as a preventative for the future. I would be happy to recommend to anyone.

Edo is a great professional, very friendly and knowledgeable. He corrected my posture in only few months, he said this was going to happen and I couldn't believe it, it was so fast and happened, the changes not only I could feel them but also you can see them. He did the adjustments with a lot of care, with a lot of patience he took the time to give the advices and exercises that I could benefit my posture in the future. I totally recommend him.

When I first met Dr Ed I had problems bending, and worst of all I could hardly move my neck. I was a total painful wreck.
Ed takes a very holistic approach, encouraging me to lose weight and work on different rehab exercises to reinforce the manipulations and adjustments he made.
Here I am some three months on, I weigh a lot less, I have incredible flexibility in my lower back and can now touch my toes and, best of all. I have full flexibility of my neck.
Eds holistic approach really works, he is very approachable and easy to chat about things with.
One caveat, Ed knows when you haven't done your exercises so don't cheat. ๐
I cannot thank him enough for the massive improvements in my health and his encouraging me to make little changes for a healthier long term lifestyle.

I saw Edo in March and he was so informative regarding my spinal issues. I have had many treatments from him over the past few months and feel so much better and have more movement and less pain. He provides exercises for clients to help with strengthening muscles which is all part and parcel of chiropractic healing. I would recommend going to see him anytime.
