Balnarring Chiropractic

Pregnancy Shouldn't Mean Living in Pain for Nine Months

Lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sore hips, and restless nights are some of the most common complaints we hear from expectant mums. Your body is doing incredible work. We help it stay comfortable while it does.

Sound Familiar?

Your Body Is Doing Everything Right, So Why Does Everything Ache?

Your posture shifts forward. Your pelvis widens. A hormone called relaxin loosens the ligaments that normally hold everything stable. That's all by design, but it doesn't always feel great. Lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, round ligament tension, sore hips, and sleepless nights, especially from the second trimester onward.

Here's what most expectant mums don't realise: as your centre of gravity shifts, your pelvis, sacrum, and lower spine take on a completely different load. If those structures aren't moving well together, the discomfort compounds. It's not just "part of being pregnant." It's your body telling you something specific needs attention.

That's exactly what we assess. Not just where it hurts, but what's changed structurally and how we can support your body through each trimester.

Dr Marcello

Chiropractor — Balnarring Chiropractic

I started Balnarring Chiropractic because I believe everyone on the Peninsula deserves access to thorough, honest care — not a rushed appointment where you feel like a number.

Pregnancy care is something I'm passionate about. I see expectant mums every week dealing with pelvic pain, lower back aching, and hip discomfort that makes it hard to walk, sleep, or pick up their toddler. Most have been told it's just part of pregnancy. It doesn't have to be. When we assess how the pelvis, sacrum, and spine are actually functioning, there's usually a clear reason for the discomfort and a gentle way to support it.

If we can help, I'll tell you exactly how. If we can't, I'll point you in the right direction. No pressure, no lock-in — just honest care.

A clear, systematic approach designed to get you back on your feet — and keep you there.

Full Pregnancy-Specific Assessment:

Clear Findings & Personalised Plan:

We explain exactly what we found in plain language. No jargon, no guesswork. You'll leave with a clear care plan that's realistic for your stage of pregnancy and adapts as your body changes.

Gentle, Targeted Hands-On Care:

Pelvic and sacral adjustments, soft tissue work through the lower back and round ligaments, and postural support. All gentle, all modified for your trimester, all done with pregnancy pillows so you're comfortable throughout.

Ongoing Support Through Each Trimester:

Your body changes week to week. We adapt your care as you progress, with specific home exercises, sleeping position advice, and movement strategies to keep you comfortable right through to your due date.

Common Questions

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Yes. All techniques used during pregnancy are gentle and modified for each trimester. We use pregnancy pillows and adjusted positioning so you are comfortable at every stage. We always recommend keeping your GP, midwife, or obstetrician in the loop.
Is it safe for my baby?
Yes. There is no direct pressure on your belly at any point. Techniques are gentle and specifically adapted for pregnant women. If there is ever a reason chiropractic care is not suitable for you, we will let you know and refer you appropriately.
What trimester can I start?
You can start at any stage. Some women come in during the first trimester, others not until the third when discomfort increases. There is no wrong time to start.
Do I have to lie on my stomach?
No. We use pregnancy pillows and modified positioning so you never have to lie face down. Most of our pregnancy care is done in a side lying or seated position.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly, no referral required. We do recommend letting your GP or obstetrician know you are seeing a chiropractor so everyone involved in your care is on the same page.
Can I claim on my health fund?
Yes, if your policy includes chiropractic cover. We have HICAPS on site so you can claim your rebate on the spot.
