Chiropractic for Postpartum Healing

Congratulations! You had your baby…now what? 

Did you know chiropractic care can be beneficial for your postpartum healing?

Postpartum is filled with many physical, chemical and emotional changes as you heal from birth and learn to care for your newborn. 

Physically, no matter how your delivery went, your body has gone through quite the dramatic process. On a first chiropractic visit, I tend to do a lot of adjusting, and my patients often tell me that they feel much more “put back together” after. 

On subsequent postpartum visits, I see how your body is handling the stress of postpartum life, which everyone handles a little differently. The strain on your body tends to change from your low back and pelvis during pregnancy, to your upper back and neck postpartum. Chiropractic during the postpartum period can help ease this tension and during care I can assist you with the following: 

● Guide you into better standing, sitting and carrying postures that put less strain on your body as your baby continues to grow.

● Assess for diastasis recti and offer guidance for rehab options.

● Discuss any pelvic floor concerns you may have and direct you to appropriate rehab options, including a referral for Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy. 

● Take care of you so you can better enjoy caring for your baby! 

We look forward to assisting you as you continue this journey in motherhood.
