What paediatric and prenatal chiropractic covers
This area focuses on conservative, gentle chiropractic care during pregnancy and for children, alongside general family care. Prenatal chiropractic aims to support comfort and pelvic balance during pregnancy, when posture, weight distribution and ligament changes can contribute to back, hip or pelvic discomfort. Paediatric chiropractic involves gentle assessment and care adapted to a child’s age and stage.
Dr Ng is certified in the Webster Technique, a specific approach used in pregnancy-related chiropractic care that focuses on the pelvis and surrounding structures. His listed affiliations include the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Care in this area is gentle and individualised, with techniques chosen to suit pregnancy or a child rather than adult spinal adjustment. The general aim is comfort, balance and support for everyday function. Chiropractic is non-surgical, the title “Dr” reflects a Doctor of Chiropractic qualification rather than a medical degree, and chiropractic is not statutorily regulated in Singapore, so confirm qualifications and keep your obstetric or paediatric medical team informed, seeking medical assessment where needed.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a history. For prenatal care this covers your pregnancy, stage, any discomfort and your obstetric care; for a child it covers their health, development and the reason for the visit. A gentle physical assessment commonly follows, adapted to pregnancy or to the child’s age, looking at posture, movement and comfort.
The chiropractor then explains their findings and a proposed plan, which uses gentle techniques such as the Webster Technique in pregnancy where appropriate, together with advice on posture, positioning and self-care. They should explain what the gentle treatment involves and answer your questions. Where anything suggests a need for medical or obstetric review, a responsible practitioner will advise it and encourage coordination with your existing care.
Preparing for your appointment
- Bring photo identification and any referral letter or medical correspondence.
- For pregnancy, bring relevant antenatal information and your obstetric team’s details; for a child, bring their health and development information.
- List current medicines and supplements with doses, including pregnancy supplements.
- Wear or bring comfortable clothing that allows gentle assessment and movement.
- Note your main concerns, such as where discomfort occurs and what eases or worsens it.
- Write down your questions in advance.
After your consultation and follow-up
You will usually leave with an explanation, a gentle plan and self-care or positioning advice. Prenatal and paediatric care is often delivered as a series of gentle visits, reviewed as your pregnancy progresses or your child changes. Following any posture or self-care advice between visits commonly helps.
See the same chiropractor where possible for continuity, and keep your obstetric or paediatric medical team informed of the care you are receiving. Contact the clinic if symptoms change. Seek prompt medical or obstetric attention for pregnancy warning signs such as bleeding, severe abdominal pain, reduced baby movements or signs of early labour, and for any child who is unwell, as these need medical assessment rather than chiropractic care. You are free to seek a second opinion at any time.
Booking, referrals and fees
You can usually book directly with the clinic without a referral. Chiropractic care is generally paid out of pocket; MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans apply to defined conventional medical services rather than to chiropractic in the usual case. Confirm current charges, assessment and follow-up costs, and any package details directly with the clinic when you book.
Common questions
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Prenatal chiropractic uses gentle techniques adapted to pregnancy and should be coordinated with your obstetric care. Discuss your pregnancy, how far along you are and any concerns with the chiropractor and your medical team, and mention any complications you have been told about so care can be adapted appropriately.
What is the Webster Technique?
It is a specific approach used in pregnancy-related chiropractic care that focuses on the pelvis and surrounding structures. The chiropractor will explain whether it is appropriate for you.
Is paediatric chiropractic the same as adult treatment?
No. Paediatric care uses gentle assessment and techniques adapted to a child’s age, size and stage, rather than the adult spinal adjustment used for older patients. Any significant health concern in a child should also be reviewed by a doctor.
Should I tell my obstetrician or paediatrician?
Yes. Keeping your medical team informed supports coordinated, safe care during pregnancy and for children.
