How we help with
The Perinatal Phase
Supporting you through every stage of pregnancy and beyond
The perinatal season, from the first hopes of conception to the months after birth, is one of the most incredible chapters in a woman’s life. Your body is constantly adapting, growing, and preparing to nurture new life. Hormones shift, posture changes, and your nervous system works tirelessly to coordinate it all.
At Beachside Family Chiropractic, we see this time as both powerful and deeply transformative. It can bring joy and anticipation, but also new challenges for your body and mind. Our role is to gently support you through each stage so you can move through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and recovery with greater balance and ease.
We take a neurologically focused approach to care, helping your body adapt to the physical, hormonal, and emotional demands of the entire perinatal journey. When your nervous system is calm and well regulated, your body can better coordinate the complex processes of conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Every woman’s path is unique, and every experience unfolds differently. Whether you are preparing for pregnancy, expecting your baby, or adjusting to life as a new mother, our care is tailored to your needs and stage of life.
Our care may help support you through:
- Pre-conception and fertility preparation
- Postural and structural changes during pregnancy
- Pelvic or lower back discomfort
- Sleep and energy challenges
- Stress and emotional regulation
- Recovery and adaptation after birth
- Connection and bonding during the fourth trimester
1. Initial consult
From your very first visit, you’ll experience a level of care that goes beyond the surface. Our team takes time to listen, understand, and explore your story in detail to get to the heart of what’s really going on. Many families share that it’s the first time they have felt truly heard, leaving with a sense of hope, clarity, and confidence about the journey ahead.
2. INSiGHT scans and neurostructural testing
During your initial consultation, we take a closer look at your neuro-spinal and nervous system function using INSiGHT scanning technology. These three gentle, non-invasive scans help us measure patterns associated with nervous system function, providing additional information to consider alongside your health history and clinical assessment. When clinically appropriate, our chiropractors may also recommend spinal X-rays to further assess spinal structure. With digital X-ray facilities available onsite, these images can form part of your overall clinical assessment and help guide an individualised approach to your care.
3. Individualised care plan
We know that every person and every child is unique, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to care. After your Initial Consultation, our team carefully reviews yours/ your childs case history, INSiGHT Scans, functional assessments, and X-rays if required. From there, we create a personalised care plan that outlines the frequency and duration of adjustments tailored to your family’s specific needs.
4. Report of findings
This visit is all about clarity and understanding. We’ll sit down together to review your or your child’s INSiGHT Scans, neurostructural testing, and any other results from your Initial Consultation. Our team will walk you through what we’ve found, how it relates to your goals, and create a clear plan to support the next steps in care. We love this visit because it’s often the moment families begin to feel empowered and hopeful about what’s possible.
5. Neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments
The next step in your health journey. Our gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments are tailored to you or your child, taking into account individual needs, assessment findings and neuro-spinal function. Our calm and considered approach is designed to help you and your family feel comfortable, supported and confident throughout your care.
