After nine months of change and the work of delivery, your body doesn't snap back overnight. Then come long hours of feeding, rocking, lifting car seats, and sleeping in odd positions. It's no surprise that so many new moms feel sore in the neck, upper back, and lower back.
Common Postpartum Complaints
- Upper back and neck tension from feeding positions
- Lower back and pelvic discomfort
- Wrist and shoulder strain from carrying baby
- Headaches linked to tension and poor sleep
How Chiropractic Can Help
Postpartum chiropractic focuses on gently restoring balance to the pelvis and spine and easing tension in the areas that work hardest during early parenthood. Care is adapted to how you delivered and how you're healing, including after a C-section.
Small Changes That Make a Difference
- Bring baby to the breast or bottle instead of leaning down to baby
- Use pillows to support your arms while feeding
- Switch carrying sides throughout the day
