Pregnancy Chiropractic Care in Milton Keynes
Comfort & Support for Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be a beautiful and challenging adventure. As your baby grows, your body undergoes significant changes that can create discomfort and stress. Your center of gravity shifts forward, your lower back curve increases, and your body works overtime to create the perfect environment for your little one.
At D.O.T.S Chiropractic Clinic, we help support both you and your baby throughout your pregnancy journey with specialized prenatal chiropractic care that focuses on optimal nervous system function, comfort, and preparation for an easier birth.
Supporting Your Body's Natural Changes
Your body is amazingly designed to nurture and deliver your growing baby.
It’s also a time when your nervous system needs to be firing on all cylinders. Chiropractic removes nerve interference to help your brain and body communicate clearly with each other, as well as your baby. Your nervous system regulates your hormone production and release, which is vital during pregnancy.
A clear nervous system is also able to shift more easily between a sympathetic (fight or flight) response and a peaceful parasympathetic (rest and digest) state that improves your sleep, digestion, and mental health.
Pregnancy can also create unique biomechanical challenges for your nervous system and musculoskeletal system
- Forward shift in your center of mass
- Increased curve in your lower back
- Increased relaxin hormone loosening ligaments, potentially increasing misalignments and joint instability
- Stretched and tightened round ligaments
- Pressure on spinal nerves
- Pelvic instability
However, chiropractic care can help your body adapt to all these changes while maintaining optimal function for both you and your baby.

Supporting Your Journey to Motherhood
“I have restarted physical activity, i am now going on trips, i can walk almost to half the extent i could before pregnancy and overall my quality of life has massively increased. i haven’t gotten a single migraine in 4 months. I stopped wearing my glasses because my view straightened ( turns out my skewed vision was due to my kinked neck) I could go on and on, but to sum it up ; DOTS entire team has given me a 2nd chance in life and i will forever be grateful for that. Thank you DOTS.”
