Postpartum Back Pain
Postpartum back pain affects the majority of new mothers as the body recovers from pregnancy, labor, and the physical demands of caring for a newborn. Chiropractic care speeds recovery and restores pelvic balance.
Common Signs of Postpartum Back Pain
- Lower back pain that started during or after pregnancy
- SI joint pain (deep ache in the back of the pelvis)
- Pain while nursing, lifting, or carrying the baby
- Hip stiffness or clicking
- Difficulty returning to pre-pregnancy activity levels
How We Help
During pregnancy, your pelvis shifts, ligaments loosen (thanks to relaxin), and your spine adapts to carrying the weight of your growing baby. After delivery, these structures need to be properly realigned for full recovery. Many new moms push through the pain, not realizing that the structural shifts from pregnancy don't always self-correct. We assess your pelvis, sacrum, and spine for misalignments that are prolonging your recovery, then use gentle adjustments to restore proper alignment. This not only relieves pain but also supports your body's ability to heal and regain strength.
