Chiropractic care for new mothers:

There are so many ways chiropractic can benefit a mother during the postpartum period, right after she gives birth. Labor is physical.   The ligaments become stretched and the sacrum changes in position to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. Chiropractic treatments can restore the natural alignment and assist your body with quicker healing.  It’s an important time to develop skills on how to use your core muscles properly when lifting your baby, feeding and holding your baby, and returning to sports and activities. Whether you have delivered vaginally or via c-section, we work with you in a way that makes you feel safe and supported. You will receive advice on exercises, stretches, movements and things you can do at home to keep you feeling strong.

You may come in for your first treatment as soon as you feel comfortable getting out of the house, usually between 2-4 weeks after your baby is born.

Chiropractic care for mothers: beyond the initial postpartum period

Many mothers mistakenly believe that chiropractic care is only beneficial in the immediate postpartum phase.  We believe that “postpartum is forever.”  This encapsulates the idea that the physical, emotional, and mental changes experienced during pregnancy and childbirth have enduring effects.  We have extensive experience working with mothers up to 50 years postpartum and it’s never too late to start working on your strength again.

Enhanced pelvic floor activation with chiropractic adjustments

Chiropractic care is known to play a crucial role in promoting proper pelvic floor activation. By aligning the spine and pelvis, research shows that it helps to optimize the function of your pelvic floor muscles, aiding in their strength, flexibility, and overall functionality. This can have numerous benefits for postpartum moms, including improved bladder control, reduced pain, and enhanced core stability.

Common complaints that benefit from postnatal care

Some goals may include to move without pain, lift their kids, exercise, work, and have no fear with specific movements. We have taken extensive coursework in caring for the postpartum mother. Some of the conditions that chiropractic care could help you with include:

  • Neck and upper and lower back pain

  • Shoulder pain and wrist pain from carrying and feeding baby

  • Connection and strength with your core and pelvic floor

  • Diastasis recti healing and assessment

  • Lack of energy and unable to properly cope with stress

  • Guidance with safe return to physical activity
