Our Approach

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.

Common Questions About Postpartum Back Pain

How soon after delivery can I be adjusted?
Most women can begin chiropractic care within the first few weeks after a vaginal delivery. For C-section recoveries, we typically recommend waiting 4-6 weeks for initial healing, but every case is individual.
Can I bring my baby to appointments?
Of course! Our office is baby-friendly. Many new moms bring their newborns, and we're happy to check the baby's spine while you're there too.
Will the pain just go away on its own?
Sometimes, but often the structural shifts from pregnancy persist if not corrected. Many women who 'push through' postpartum pain find it becomes chronic. Early correction leads to faster, more complete recovery.
