Our practice recognises the unique challenges new mothers face during postpartum recovery. Physical changes after childbirth can affect both physical and emotional wellbeing, requiring care and support.
Common Postpartum Challenges
Many women experience lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, and diastasis recti (abdominal separation) after childbirth. Hormonal fluctuations can lead to joint instability, particularly affecting the pelvis and lower back. These physical challenges often accompany the emotional adjustments of new motherhood.
Chiropractic Approach
Treatment begins with thorough assessment of birthing experience and current symptoms. Our team focuses on spinal health, addressing joint mechanics, pelvic stability, and muscle tension that impact recovery.
Treatment Benefits
Chiropractic care provides:
- Relief from spinal and pelvic tension through gentle manipulations
- Improved mobility through targeted adjustments
- Enhanced natural healing through myofascial release
- Core and pelvic floor strengthening guidance
Education and Support
Your chiropractor can teach proper body mechanics for daily activities like lifting and feeding. Simple postural habits and gentle stretching routines prevent further strain. For diastasis recti, specific exercises help restore core strength.
Recovery Journey
Postpartum recovery requires patience and professional support. Our team at Crossgates, Rothwell, and Colton Chiropractic Clinics provides compassionate care tailored to each mother’s needs, helping restore strength and confidence during this transformative time.
