Postpartum Recovery 101: Why You Still Need Chiropractic After Birth
You did it. You birthed a whole human. Whether it was a few days ago or a few months back, your body is still processing that incredible experience—and healing from it.
Most women think of chiropractic as something you do during pregnancy. But truthfully? Some of the most important care comes after birth, when your body is rebalancing, your hormones are shifting, and you’re navigating newborn life on minimal sleep and maximum stress.
Why the Postpartum Period Deserves More Attention
That magical “6-week checkup” doesn’t come with much guidance, does it? One quick appointment, a “you’re cleared,” and off you go into motherhood.
But here’s what rarely gets talked about:
You’re holding and feeding a baby for hours a day (hello, nursing neck + back pain)
Your core and pelvic floor are rebuilding from the inside out
You’re emotionally and hormonally adjusting—big time
You might be recovering from tearing, stitches, or a C-section
And somehow, you’re supposed to do this while caring for another human.
How Chiropractic Helps You Heal
Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain—it’s about function. During postpartum, we focus on supporting your nervous system, spinal alignment, and pelvic balance so your body can recover more effectively. We also gently address areas that have been under strain from pregnancy, labor, and feeding/baby care.
Our care is always tailored—whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, we modify everything for your unique healing journey.
We often see postpartum moms for:
Low back, pelvic, or hip pain
Neck and shoulder tension from feeding/babywearing
Headaches or sleep disruption
Core instability or diastasis recti
C-section scar sensitivity or pulling
Feeling “stuck” in fight-or-flight mode
It’s Not Just About Pain—It’s About Regulation
Chiropractic and Craniosacral Therapy can help you shift out of survival mode and into a more calm, regulated nervous system. When your body feels more grounded and aligned, everything feels a little easier—from sleeping better to feeling more emotionally present.
