Pre & Post Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings many physical changes, and each person experiences those changes differently. Back pain, pelvic discomfort, rib discomfort and other musculoskeletal concerns can occur as the body adapts throughout pregnancy.
Dr. Mishka provides prenatal chiropractic care in Toronto using gentle techniques adapted to the individual patient and stage of pregnancy. She is certified in the Webster Technique, a chiropractic technique focused on the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments.
Chiropractic care can also continue after delivery, with postpartum care tailored to changes in mobility, movement and musculoskeletal comfort as the body recovers and adapts.
