Nurturing Your Postpartum Body with Chiropractic Care
Welcome to Sweet Family Chiropractic, a warm and inviting space dedicated to the well-being of mothers, babies, and families. As a fellow mother and experienced chiropractor, I understand the unique needs of postpartum women. My specialized care focuses on supporting your body as it heals and adjusts after the miraculous (and exhausting) journey of pregnancy and childbirth.
Understanding the Postpartum Period
The postpartum period is a time of significant physical and emotional changes. As your body recovers from the birthing process, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care and support your body’s natural healing mechanisms. Chiropractic care plays a pivotal role in enhancing postpartum recovery by addressing spinal misalignments brought on by the stress and strain of pregnancy and labor. Dr. Kelsey offers gentle and tailored chiropractic adjustments to help realign the spine, reduce nervous system tension, reduce discomfort, and promote overall well-being and healing.
Approximately 40% of pregnant women encounter back pain, and for some, this condition extends into the postpartum period or emerges anew post-delivery (Salari et al., BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2023).
The Benefits of Postpartum Chiropractic Care
Our approach to postpartum care goes beyond alleviating discomfort. We aim to empower you on your journey to recovery and optimal health:
1. Pain Relief
Experience relief from common postpartum discomforts such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches through personalized chiropractic adjustments.
2. Enhanced Healing
Chiropractic care supports the body’s natural healing processes, promoting faster recovery and helping you regain strength and vitality.
3. Improved Sleep
As a new mother, quality sleep is essential. Chiropractic adjustments contribute to better sleep by reducing tension and promoting relaxation.
4. Stress Reduction
Navigating the challenges of motherhood can be stressful. Chiropractic care aids in stress reduction by calming the nervous system and fostering a sense of balance.
5. Continued Support
Mom’s are unfortunately nearly abandoned or valued less once baby arrives in our health care system until their 6 week check up. Postpartum chiropractic care provides ongoing support to new moms. Dr. Kelsey has built a strong network of other supportive health professionals like Lactation support, pelvic floor therapists, infant feeding specialists etc and can help fill some of this gap in care.
6. Support for your newborn
Dr. Kelsey is well-versed in caring for infants and children. Schedule an appointment for your new baby too. If you must leave the house let’s get both of you assessed and adjusted to thrive. These appointments account for the extra time needed to possibly nurse or do a diaper change.
Our Approach to Postpartum Care
At Sweet Family Chiropractic, Dr. Kelsey takes a holistic approach to postpartum care. Our personalized sessions are designed to address your unique needs and concerns. We prioritize open communication, ensuring you feel heard and supported throughout your healing journey. We also lovingly refer to other supportive health professionals when needed like Pelvic Floor Therapists to co-manage and get the best well-rounded care for you.’
