Pregnancy

Supporting You Through Every Stage of Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings significant yet natural changes to a woman’s body, including postural shifts, increased joint mobility, and additional strain on the spine and pelvis as the baby grows. These changes can sometimes lead to discomfort, stiffness, or difficulty adapting to day-to-day demands.

Pregnancy is a unique journey, and every person’s experience is different. Our Chiropractor’s role is to listen to you, understand your concerns and provide personalised care that considers your comfort, lifestyle and goals. We aim to help you feel confident in your changing body by providing clear explanations, practical guidance and a supportive environment throughout your pregnancy.

Personalised Pregnancy Care

Our chiropractors provide a thorough assessment and use gentle, pregnancy-appropriate techniques tailored to your individual needs. Care is always adapted to ensure comfort and suitability at every stage.

Advice may also include guidance on posture, movement, sleep positions, and general lifestyle support.

We also provide care for mothers and babies during the postnatal period.

Please visit babies for more information on paediatric care.

   I approached  Blackfen Chiropractic with a persistent injury that was hampering my training for the London marathon. A combination of chiro treatment from CT and deep sports massage from Greg not only got me back on track with the injury, but also helped address a few other training load niggles as I approached the big day. The result - a fantastic marathon that I was able to approach with confidence and in good shape. Thanks guys.

   I have had such a fantastic experience with Blackfen! Dr Aimee Nicholas has been amazing - really knowledgeable and professional and has made my regular headaches and backache disappear! I have been to many chiropractors and i can categorically say that Aimee is the best. The addition of the physiapp has also been really helpful in ensuring I am keeping up with my exercises and doing them properly for long term benefit. Everyone at Blackfen is always friendly and happy to help. Cannot recommend enough!
