Gentle, Specialised Care for Every Stage of Your Pregnancy Journey

pregnant person having neck adjusted Your body is doing something extraordinary. As your baby grows, your body changes in remarkable ways—your joints soften, your posture shifts, your spine adjusts to make space for new life. These changes are beautiful, but they can also bring discomfort. Back pain, neck tension, swelling that leads to carpal tunnel symptoms—these aren’t just things you have to endure.

At Croydon Sports Injury Clinic Ltd, we provide pregnancy-specific chiropractic care that’s as gentle as it is effective. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, you’ll receive a thorough assessment that considers your unique presentation, your stage of pregnancy, and your individual needs. Only then will Dr. Roddy Knight, chiropractor, develop recommendations tailored specifically for you.

Why Your Changing Body Needs Specialized Support

Pregnancy affects every system in your body. Hormones increase joint elasticity, preparing your pelvis for birth. Your center of gravity shifts forward as your baby grows, changing your posture and placing new demands on your spine. The growing fetus requires your spinal column to adapt and create space. These are all normal, healthy changes—but they can create very real discomfort.

Many expectant mothers experience lower back pain as their spine curves to accommodate their growing belly. Others feel neck tension from postural changes or notice carpal tunnel symptoms from increased swelling in their hands and wrists. Some feel pelvic discomfort as ligaments stretch. You don’t have to simply accept these symptoms as part of pregnancy. Gentle chiropractic care can provide meaningful relief while supporting your body’s natural process.

What to Expect from Care

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Before you even come in for your first visit, you’ll have a thorough phone conversation with our practice. We’ll discuss what you’re experiencing, what to expect during your appointment, and answer any questions you might have. This isn’t rushed—we take the time to ensure you feel completely comfortable and informed.

During your assessment, Dr. Roddy Knight, chiropractor, will listen carefully to understand your symptoms and concerns. He’ll examine how your body is adapting to pregnancy and identify areas where gentle intervention can help. The techniques used during pregnancy are specifically adapted—completely different from standard adjustments. Everything is modified to be safe and appropriate for you and your baby. After your assessment, you’ll receive honest recommendations about how we can help, how often you might benefit from care, and what you can do at home to support your comfort.

We’re Here for This Special Time

Our practice has welcomed many expectant mothers, and we understand the unique considerations that come with pregnancy care. Our location at Wing Yip Centre (CR0 4NZ) is on the ground floor with easy access—no stairs to navigate when you’re feeling uncomfortable or managing later pregnancy. We offer flexible scheduling including Saturday appointments, because we know your pregnancy doesn’t follow a Monday-through-Friday timeline.

Most importantly, we genuinely care about your wellbeing during this time. You’re not just another appointment on our schedule. You’re an expectant mother who deserves to feel as comfortable as possible while your body does its amazing work. We’re here to support you with knowledge, gentle hands, and genuine compassion.
