What happens on my visit
With your consent, a student midwife and chiropractic student will take a full history of your pregnancy, birth and any feeding concerns you may have. You will have the opportunity to breastfeed your baby to enable the student midwife to provide you with individual support. This may be followed by an examination of your baby by a chiropractic student, who will advise on your posture and positioning to assist with breast feeding. This consultation is overseen by experienced clinic tutors in both midwifery and chiropractic and can last for approximately one to two hours. The chiropractor and midwife, where appropriate, may offer you advice to help/assist your positioning and comfort.
As we are a teaching clinic, there will be one student midwife and a midwifery tutor in the room with you. There may also be a chiropractic student and a chiropractic tutor present at times. If at any time you feel uncomfortable about the number of people in the room with you, please mention this to us. We want to be as supportive and helpful to your needs as possible.
Everyone working in our clinic will be following covid-19 safety measures.

We work closely with health visitors and midwifes, should you wish to advise your breast feeding mother about our clinic then please invite them to contact us direct to book an appointment via our chiropractic clinic.
