The Benefits of Postnatal Chiropractic
A postnatal chiropractic treatment is tailored to the unique needs of new mother's body:
-
After birth, the relaxin hormone that loosens ligaments during pregnancy is still present.
-
The pelvis is settling into a new position after months of tilting and widening to make room for a growing baby.
-
The core and pelvic floor muscles are starting to heal and rebuild.
-
Soft tissue tension can be present in the neck and upper back from breastfeeding and holding the baby.
To address these changes, treatment typically focuses on realigning the pelvis and spine after birth. This often involves targeting the sacroiliac (SI) and pelvic joints, while also relieving upper back and neck tension caused by nursing. Just like pregnancy, pelvic balance matters after birth just like it did before.
For mothers who've had a C-section, they can benefit by relieving compensatory back and pelvic strain, improving posture from nursing, and supporting overall physical recovery after major surgery
What to Expect At A Postnatal Chiropractic Appointment?
Your initial appointment will be 30-45 minutes for a comprehensive consultation, exam, and discussion of a treatment recommendation.
From there, your care plan is built around techniques suited to a postpartum body, including gentle manual adjustments, instrument-assisted work, drop-table adjustments, and side-lying positioning. All techniques avoid aggressive twisting, so you can feel comfortable and at ease.
We welcome mothers as soon as they’re ready to leave the house. For those recovering from a C-section, we can schedule your first adjustment as soon as it’s comfortable to lie on your stomach.
We’ve helped hundreds of mamas and babies in our office, so don’t hesitate to bring your little one along! Whether it’s a car seat next to the table or a stroller in the room, we’ll make it work. And don't worry, nobody here blinks at a crying baby.
