Are you a new mom or know someone who is?It's super important to take care of new moms during the postpartum stage! During pregnancy, the hormone relaxin loosens ligaments to prepare for childbirth. But guess what? Relaxin continues to affect joints even after the baby arrives, causing discomfort and instability. This is where postpartum chiropractic care comes in!
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating issues with the muscles and bones,
especially the spine. After giving birth, a woman's body goes through many changes that can
cause pain and discomfort. Misalignments in the spine and pelvis can lead to back pain, hip
pain, and sciatica. The physical demands of labor, breastfeeding, and carrying a newborn can
make these issues worse.
Postpartum chiropractic care is essential for realigning your spine and pelvis, reducing pain, and
promoting healing. It improves posture, supports pelvic floor muscles, and helps manage scar
tissue, whether you had a C-section or not. Chiropractic adjustments also restore flexibility,
balance hormones and reduce stress.
If new moms don’t get chiropractic care after giving birth, they might face several problems.
Chronic pain and discomfort can make it hard to move and do daily tasks, affecting their ability
to care for their newborn. Ongoing pain can also lead to postpartum depression and anxiety,
impacting mental health. Unresolved spinal and pelvic misalignments can lead to long-term
issues, like chronic back pain and joint problems.
Pregnancy can have lasting effects on mothers. Chiropractic check-ups realign hips and spine
postpartum as hormones subside and ligaments tighten. Many moms suffer for years from
lingering issues related to past pregnancies. It helps new moms manage pain, improve mobility,
and stay healthy, allowing them to focus on their new role with more comfort and confidence.
Making chiropractic care a priority after giving birth can lead to a smoother recovery and a
healthier, happier start to motherhood.
