At Anderson Family Chiropractic Health Centre in Mackay, we provide care that considers the specific needs of women at various life stages. From postural changes during pregnancy to musculoskeletal symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations or pelvic discomfort, we tailor each plan to reflect your health goals and physical presentation. Our approach combines chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and individual guidance, designed to support comfort, mobility and day-to-day function.
We understand that every experience is different. That’s why we begin with a thorough discussion of your concerns and offer options that are suited to your preferences and situation.

Comfort, Mobility & Function
Our women’s health services are based on functional assessments and open discussion. Common concerns we may help support include lower back tension, pelvic alignment, posture during or after pregnancy, and discomfort linked to repetitive strain or sedentary routines. Treatments might involve low-force chiropractic adjustments, remedial massage, soft tissue release, or movement advice. We also work with patients who are navigating perimenopause, breastfeeding posture challenges or return-to-work recovery plans.
Each care plan is designed around what your body needs right now—there’s no standard approach or set schedule. Instead, we guide you through options that make sense clinically and personally, always respecting your preferences and boundaries. If we feel that additional input is required, we’re happy to refer or collaborate with your broader healthcare team.
What women’s health concerns can chiropractors support?
Chiropractors may work with women experiencing postural strain, lower back or pelvic discomfort, musculoskeletal changes during pregnancy, or symptoms linked to repetitive movement. While chiropractic care does not treat hormonal or internal conditions, it can offer support for the physical impacts of those experiences. Each case is individually assessed to determine if chiropractic care is suitable and how it may complement other services.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe when delivered by a trained practitioner. Techniques are adapted to accommodate your changing body, using low-force or modified approaches where appropriate. The focus is often on relieving pressure in the lower back or pelvis, improving posture, and supporting joint movement. A full history is always taken before treatment begins, and care is provided with caution and sensitivity.
How does musculoskeletal health change during menopause?
Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can influence joint flexibility, muscular tension, sleep patterns and general energy levels. Some women report new aches, stiffness or postural issues during this stage. Chiropractors and other practitioners can help assess movement, provide guidance on gentle stretches or postural modifications, and support muscular balance where appropriate. As with any stage of life, care should be personalised and reviewed regularly.
What other therapies can support women’s health?
Alongside chiropractic care, many women benefit from remedial massage, naturopathy, dry needling, or movement-based rehabilitation. These services can help manage muscular tightness, fatigue, or stress-related tension. It’s important to choose therapies that align with your health status and personal goals. Always inform your practitioner of any medical conditions, medications or recent changes so they can recommend options safely and appropriately.
