Postnatal Chiropractic Care: Embracing Motherhood Pain-Free

Welcoming a new life into the world is a joyous occasion, but it also brings new challenges for mothers, including physical discomforts. Many postpartum women find themselves dealing with persistent back pain, mid and upper back pain, neck pain, and posture-related issues. Postnatal chiropractic care continues to provide a holistic approach that helps new mothers enjoy this time without pain.

The Changing Dynamics in Your Body

After childbirth, women often experience back pain, particularly in the lower back, due to the physical demands of labor. Additionally, hunching over while breastfeeding may lead to mid and upper back pain. The strain on the neck from looking down at your adorable baby can result in neck pain.

The postpartum period triggers changes as the body attempts to regain its balance and return to its previous state. Ligaments that loosened during pregnancy begin to tighten again; however, misalignments incurred during pregnancy may persist without proper intervention. Epidurals, commonly used for pain relief during labor, may also contribute to postpartum back pain.

Finding Answers for Your Pain

Our postnatal care focuses on addressing misalignments in the spine and pelvis that may have developed during pregnancy or due to the birthing process.
