At MHP Therapy in London, Ontario, we are dedicated to helping mothers, babies, and children thrive through expert chiropractic care. Whether you’re expecting, have recently given birth, or are looking for safe, gentle care for your child, our team offers specialized prenatal, postnatal, and pediatric chiropractic services designed to support overall health and wellness.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to a woman’s body, and while this journey is beautiful, it can also cause discomfort and physical strain. Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on maintaining the health and alignment of the spine and pelvis during pregnancy, helping to alleviate the stress on your body as your baby grows.
Benefits of Prenatal Chiropractic Care:
- Relieves pregnancy-related back pain: Chiropractic adjustments can ease the lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort that many women experience during pregnancy.
- Reduces headaches and tension: Hormonal changes and increased weight can cause tension headaches, which chiropractic care can help alleviate.
- Encourages optimal fetal positioning: A properly aligned pelvis creates more space for the baby to move into an ideal position for delivery, potentially leading to shorter and easier labor.
- Supports a healthy, natural birth: Women who receive chiropractic care during pregnancy often report less need for interventions during delivery.
Our team uses gentle techniques specifically designed for pregnant women, ensuring comfort and safety for both mom and baby throughout the entire pregnancy.
Postnatal Chiropractic Care
After childbirth, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes as it heals and adjusts. Postnatal chiropractic care focuses on helping new mothers recover physically, improve posture, and manage the demands of caring for a newborn.
Benefits of Postnatal Chiropractic Care:
- Restores alignment: Pregnancy and childbirth can cause spinal misalignments that lead to back pain, neck pain, and overall discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment and reduce pain.
- Pelvic floor and core rehabilitation: Postnatal care supports the healing of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, which can be weakened during pregnancy and delivery.
- Relieves nursing-related strain: Nursing or bottle-feeding can put strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back. Chiropractic care helps alleviate this tension and improve posture.
- Supports emotional well-being: Physical discomfort can contribute to feelings of stress or fatigue. By relieving pain and improving function, chiropractic care supports overall well-being during the postnatal period.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults! Pediatric chiropractic care provides gentle, safe adjustments that support your child’s growth and development. From newborns to teenagers, children can benefit from chiropractic care at various stages of life.
Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic Care:
- Supports healthy growth and development: Gentle chiropractic adjustments help maintain proper spinal alignment, supporting nervous system function and overall health.
- Alleviates common childhood issues: Pediatric chiropractic care can help with colic, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and even ear infections by improving nervous system function.
- Enhances immune function: A healthy spine supports the nervous system, which plays a key role in the body’s ability to fight off illness.
- Promotes better posture: As children grow, maintaining good posture is crucial to preventing pain and discomfort in the future.
Our pediatric chiropractic services are tailored to the unique needs of babies, toddlers, children, and teens, using gentle techniques to ensure a comfortable experience.
