POSTPARTUM CHIROPRACTIC
Often after birth, whether vaginally or via c-section, the mother’s pelvic biomechanics change – these changes can bring discomfort with walking, nursing and sleeping. We restore the pelvic balance with similar manipulation, exercises and stretches that were used during prenatal care.
It can also be beneficial to mobilize the thoracic region due to positions during breastfeeding, bottle feeding or simply rocking children. There is a tendency for new mothers to flex forward for long periods of time which can aggravate the mid back area. Carrying car seats with infants in them also alters biomechanics.
Adjustments can help to realign the pelvis before all of the hormones in the body decrease and the joints solidify. This will help to prevent future back pain as well as set your body and pelvis up to be in proper alignment for future pregnancies.
The best time to get adjusted postpartum is within the first 6 weeks.

Chiropractic care is not only beneficial for those who are postpartum but also for babies and children. Birth can be a traumatic experience for a newborn’s body. They are pulled, torqued, and twisted, which can all affect the alignment of their spine.
Chiropractic adjustments for babies and children may help with colic, sleep, reflux, breastfeeding issues like latch problems, plagiocephaly or flat head syndrome, and more.
Our resident pediatric chiropractor, Dr. Pagani uses a very gentle touch when adjusting little ones. It does not hurt, and most children seem happy and relaxed after their adjustment.
