Chiropractic care during pregnancy in Vilanova

Chiropractic care during pregnancy in Vilanova i la Geltrú. Techniques adapted to each trimester to support changes in posture and the pelvis, without replacing the care of your midwife or obstetrician.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Your posture is changing as your bump grows
You are still working long hours sitting or standing
Your lower back and pelvis feel more loaded by the end of the day
It is hard to find a comfortable position to rest
You were already looking after your spine before pregnancy and want to carry on

Our approach

During pregnancy the body produces relaxin, a hormone that makes the ligaments more flexible. Together with weight gain and the shift in the centre of gravity, this changes your posture and the way the spine and pelvis share the load. Prenatal chiropractic care aims to support those changes: Dimitri assesses the mobility of your spine and pelvis and uses gentle techniques adapted to each trimester, such as the Webster Technique, which focuses on pelvic balance. He works with a table designed for pregnancy and applies no pressure to the abdomen. Chiropractic care does not replace the care of your midwife or obstetrician: if anything about your pregnancy calls for it, he will ask you to check with them before you start.

What we look at in practice

Back and pelvis during pregnancy

During pregnancy the centre of gravity shifts and the ligaments become more flexible, which changes your posture and the load on the lower back and pelvis. Prenatal chiropractic techniques are adapted to each trimester to support those changes.

The Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a chiropractic protocol for pregnancy that focuses on the balance and mobility of the pelvis and sacrum. Its aim is the mother's comfort; it is not intended to change the baby's position or the course of the birth.

How we work

Initial assessment

At your first visit Dimitri assesses your spine, posture and mobility, explains what he has found and, if chiropractic care is right for you, suggests a care plan.

First sessions

The first sessions focus on bringing movement back to stiff areas. Visits are closer together at the start and are then spaced out.

Stabilisation

We review with you how your spine is responding and adjust the plan. Every case is different, so we do not set a fixed number of sessions.

Maintenance

If you wish, regular check-ups to look after the mobility of your spine, much like visiting the dentist. You decide how far you want to go.

Frequently asked questions

¿Es segura la quiropráctica durante el embarazo?

Dimitri adapta las técnicas y la posición en la camilla a cada trimestre y no aplica presión sobre el abdomen. Antes de empezar valora tu caso y, si alguna circunstancia del embarazo lo aconseja, te pedirá que lo consultes con tu matrona o ginecólogo. La quiropráctica no sustituye ese seguimiento.

¿En qué trimestre es mejor empezar la quiropráctica en el embarazo?

Se puede empezar en cualquier trimestre. Algunas mujeres vienen desde el principio porque ya cuidaban su columna antes del embarazo; otras llegan en el tercer trimestre, cuando más cambia la postura. En la primera visita valoramos si la quiropráctica es adecuada para ti.

¿Qué es la técnica Webster?

Es un protocolo quiropráctico para embarazadas centrado en el equilibrio y la movilidad de la pelvis y el sacro. Su objetivo es la comodidad de la madre durante el embarazo. No pretende cambiar la posición del bebé ni influir en el parto, y no sustituye el seguimiento de tu matrona o ginecólogo.
