Postpartum Chiropractic

Chiropractic benefits don’t end once your baby is born.

The fourth trimester is a critical time for new moms to recover. It is not only mentally exhausting, but physically exhausting as well. We encourage all of our prenatal moms to continue care postpartum and beyond. Dr. Lindsey recommends new moms come in to get checked as soon as possible after birth. Adjustments can help your nervous system deal with the physical and emotional stresses experienced in labor and postpartum.

Regular chiropractic care postpartum can also help alleviate pain associated with feeding and holding your new baby. Whether you are nursing or bottle feeding your baby, the change in posture associated with repeatedly picking up, looking down, holding, and feeding your baby is commonly to blame for neck, rib, and back pain after giving birth.

A lot of new moms are anxious to get back to their “pre baby bodies,” but given all that your postpartum body has been through, it must be a gentle and guided return to its natural balance. Using a chiropractor helps with the aches and pains that come along with returning to exercise after birth, as well as tips for proper techniques that will ensure a safe and efficient return to homeostasis.
