Postpartum
Chiropractic Care For Mother
After
giving birth the woman once again undergoes many changes. Hormonal
levels normalize,
tissues shrink, and bones and joints shift. Throughout the pregnancy
and birthing process, the woman's body has undergone many stressful
events and some type of recovery/rehabilitation to reach
pre-pregnancy state should be sought. Failure to restore normal
biomechanics and tissue health can result in future problems in health
and with future pregnancies. Chiropractic adjustments quicken
recovery time and assist the body in normalizing overall pelvic and
spinal biomechanics.
Chiropractic Care For Baby
Birth
is generally a traumatic event for the baby. During the process, the
body is
"squeezed" through a relatively small opening compared to the size of
the baby. This can result in serious injury which is not readily
apparent, especially to the untrained eye. Chiropractic
doctors can assess the spine for injuries which frequently occur
during the birthing process. Immediate correction of vertebral
subluxations and other abnormalities are necessary to prevent
developmental problems for the child later in life.
