Pregnancy chiropractor Singapore — at Family Health Chiropractic Clinic, we provide safe, gentle chiropractic care specifically tailored for pregnant women at every stage of pregnancy. Our chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique, a specialised chiropractic method recognised for its effectiveness in supporting prenatal health and comfort.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes — chiropractic care is widely regarded as safe throughout pregnancy when performed by a trained chiropractor experienced in prenatal care. At Family Health Chiropractic Clinic, we use gentle, low-force techniques that avoid any pressure on the abdomen. Our adjusting tables are adapted to accommodate a growing belly comfortably, and all care positions are chosen with both mother and baby’s safety in mind.
Many pregnant women in Singapore see our chiropractors throughout all three trimesters — from the first trimester for nausea-related tension, through the third trimester for lower back pain and pelvic discomfort as the baby grows and the body prepares for birth.
Common Pregnancy Discomforts We Help With
As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, the musculoskeletal system comes under considerable strain. Our pregnancy chiropractor Singapore team commonly helps with:
- Lower back pain — caused by the shift in your centre of gravity and the added weight of pregnancy
- Pelvic pain and instability — the hormone relaxin loosens ligaments throughout the pelvis, sometimes causing pelvic girdle pain
- Sciatica during pregnancy — the growing uterus can place pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg
- Round ligament pain — sharp or stabbing groin pain common in the second trimester
- Neck pain and headaches — postural changes and increased blood volume can trigger cervical tension and headaches
- Rib pain — as the ribcage expands and the baby grows, rib joints can become misaligned and painful
- Swollen feet and ankles — pelvic alignment can affect circulation and fluid drainage in the lower limbs
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and adjustment used during pregnancy. It was developed by Dr. Larry Webster and is recognised by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) as a safe and effective approach to support optimal pelvic alignment and balance during pregnancy.
By reducing sacral subluxation and addressing tension in the round ligaments, the Webster Technique helps create a more balanced pelvic environment. This may allow the baby more room to settle into the optimal position for birth — and is commonly sought by mothers whose babies are in a breech or posterior position.
Both Dr. Kelvin Ng and Dr. Ashley Liew at our Singapore clinic are certified in the Webster Technique and have extensive experience applying it throughout pregnancy.
Benefits of Seeing a Pregnancy Chiropractor in Singapore

Postnatal Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care doesn’t have to stop after delivery. The postnatal period brings its own physical challenges — from the strain of breastfeeding and carrying your baby, to the recovery of the pelvis and spine after birth. Many new mothers benefit from postnatal chiropractic care to help the body re-stabilise, address any birth-related misalignments, and recover more comfortably in those early months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained chiropractor. At Family Health Chiropractic, we use gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques and specially adapted positioning to ensure your comfort and safety throughout your pregnancy.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed for pregnant women. It aims to address sacral and pelvic joint restriction and reduce tension in the associated ligaments and muscles. This may support optimal pelvic alignment and comfort during pregnancy. Dr Kelvin is Webster Technique certified.
When during pregnancy can I start chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care can be considered at any stage of pregnancy. Many women begin in the first trimester, particularly if experiencing back pain, round ligament discomfort, or postural changes. Others come in later trimesters as the body adapts to a growing baby. We will assess your individual needs at each visit.
Can chiropractic care help with back pain during pregnancy?
Back pain is very common during pregnancy due to the shifting centre of gravity, hormonal changes that relax ligaments, and postural adaptations. Chiropractic care aims to support spinal and pelvic mobility, reduce muscle tension, and improve comfort during this time.
Can I continue chiropractic care after giving birth?
Yes. Postnatal chiropractic care can be beneficial as the body recovers from childbirth. The pelvis, sacrum, and spine undergo significant changes during labour and delivery. Our chiropractors can assess and support your recovery, whether you had a natural birth or a caesarean section.
