Who benefits most from postpartum chiropractic

Postpartum chiropractic is appropriate for mothers who:

  • Have new or persistent low back or pelvic pain after delivery
  • Notice separation in the abdominal midline or core weakness
  • Experience leaking, heaviness, or pelvic floor changes after birth
  • Have shoulder or neck pain from feeding and carrying patterns
  • Want a safe, conservative plan to restore function and return to activity

If you have red flag symptoms such as heavy bleeding, fever, severe abdominal pain, or signs of infection, contact your obstetric provider immediately. We will coordinate care and refer when medical evaluation is required.

 

Frequently asked questions

When should I start postpartum chiropractic care?

You can begin as soon as you feel ready. Many patients start within the first 6 to 12 weeks after delivery. If you had a complication, we recommend clearance from your OB before starting.

Yes. We take into account surgical healing and modify techniques accordingly. We coordinate with your OB and only begin hands-on work when it is safe based on your recovery.

 

Chiropractic is part of a multidisciplinary approach. We assess diastasis and provide progressive core rehabilitation exercises to support functional recovery. For severe cases we refer to pelvic floor physical therapy.

Adjustments do not interfere with breastfeeding. We also provide posture coaching and shoulder support strategies to reduce strain while feeding.

Recovery plans are individualized. Some patients see quick improvement in pain and function within a few visits. Others follow a short rehabilitation plan over several weeks. We set measurable goals and adjust the plan as you progress.
