Our Comprehensive Approach to Chiropractic Postpartum Treatment
Chiropractic Adjustments
Postpartum chiropractic adjustments can help get your spine back into alignment after giving birth.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Postpartum soft tissue therapy options may include:
C-section scar mobilization that consists of gentle skin rolling and stretching around the incision to prevent tissue adhesions and tightness
Myofascial release with hands-on pressure applied to your lower back, hips, and glutes to ease structural strain from carrying and nursing your baby
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), in which specialized tools are used gently used to boost blood flow and release any lingering myofascial restrictions
Exercises & Rehabilitation
Our team will create a personalized postpartum plan with targeted exercises specifically designed to help you rebuild strength and improve flexibility and stability.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapy team is skilled in techniques that can reduce muscle tension, improve sleep, enhance circulation, and reduce postpartum swelling.
