Why Choose Postpartum Chiropractic Care?

After childbirth, many women experience issues like back pain, pelvic misalignment, and muscle tension. The body undergoes rapid changes during pregnancy, such as an altered centre of gravity, stretched ligaments, and more strain on the spine and pelvis.

Chiropractic care focuses on realigning the spine and supporting the body’s natural healing process, addressing these common post-pregnancy issues:

Back and Pelvic Pain

Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain in the lower back and pelvis caused by the physical demands of pregnancy and delivery.

Improved Posture

Poor posture, often caused by carrying a baby and breastfeeding, can be corrected through chiropractic adjustments and exercises.

Pelvic Alignment

The pelvis can shift out of alignment during pregnancy, particularly after a natural or caesarean birth. Postpartum chiropractic care helps realign the pelvis to aid in proper recovery.

Increased Mobility

With proper alignment, you can move more easily and with less discomfort, which is especially important when lifting and caring for your newborn.

Common Postpartum Pain Addressed by Chiropractic Care

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is common due to the physical strain the body endures during pregnancy and childbirth. The spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles go through a significant transformation to accommodate a growing baby. Add to that the stress of labour and the changes in posture after delivery. Postpartum chiropractic care can help restore spinal alignment and ease muscle tension, offering much-needed relief.

Sciatica

Sciatic nerve pain is another condition that can persist even after childbirth. During pregnancy, the growing baby places pressure on the mother’s spine and lower back, which can irritate the sciatic nerve, causing sharp pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve this pressure by realigning the spine, reducing inflammation around the nerve, and helping restore normal nerve function.

Pelvic Dysfunction

A misaligned pelvis can lead to pelvic girdle pain or discomfort during and after pregnancy. Many women experience pelvic instability due to the release of the hormone relaxin, which softens ligaments in preparation for birth. After delivery, if the pelvis doesn’t return to its proper position, it can cause ongoing pain and mobility issues. Chiropractic care helps by realigning the pelvis, restoring balance and supporting faster recovery.

Neck / Shoulder Pain

New mothers often develop neck and shoulder pain, especially from the physical demands of breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and constantly holding a newborn. Feeding sessions can last for extended periods, and maintaining poor posture can result in muscle strain and tension in the upper back, neck, and shoulders. Chiropractic adjustments can release tight muscles and alleviate this tension, making it easier to care for the baby without discomfort.

When to Start Postpartum Chiropractic Care

It’s generally safe to start postpartum chiropractic care as soon as you feel ready after giving birth. Many women begin treatment within a few weeks, but you should always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a C-section, chiropractic care can be tailored to your specific needs and recovery timeline.

Is Postpartum Chiropractic Safe?

Yes! Postpartum chiropractic care is considered safe for most women. Chiropractors use gentle techniques that are specifically designed for new mothers, ensuring that the adjustments are comfortable and effective. Chiropractors trained in prenatal and postpartum care understand the unique challenges of the postpartum body and will tailor their treatments to meet your specific needs.
