Postpartum Chiropractic and Rehabilitation

 

After pregnancy and childbirth, many patients experience changes in posture, strength, mobility, sleep, and physical demands.

Feeding, carrying, lifting, and caring for a baby may place additional stress on the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, and pelvis.

 

Common Postpartum Concerns

 

Patients may experience:

  • Lower back pain

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Upper back discomfort

  • Hip or pelvic pain

  • Core weakness

  • Postural fatigue

  • Pain with lifting or carrying

  • Difficulty returning to exercise

 

Postpartum Evaluation

 

Dr. Yi may assess:

  • Delivery and recovery history

  • Current symptoms

  • Core and hip function

  • Posture

  • Joint mobility

  • Movement control

  • Daily lifting and caregiving demands

  • Return-to-exercise goals

Patients recovering from cesarean delivery, significant tearing, pelvic floor symptoms, or other medical complications may require clearance or coordination with another provider.

 

Treatment Options

 

Care may include:

  • Gentle chiropractic treatment

  • Manual therapy

  • Postural guidance

  • Core and hip rehabilitation

  • Mobility exercises

  • Gradual return-to-exercise planning

  • Pilates-based rehabilitation when appropriate

 

Coordinated Care

 

Some postpartum symptoms are better addressed with additional support from:

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy

  • Obstetric care

  • Primary care

  • Lactation consultation

  • Orthopedic or neurological evaluation

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

When can I begin postpartum chiropractic care?

Timing depends on delivery type, medical recovery, symptoms, and provider recommendations.

 

Can chiropractic care fix diastasis recti?

Chiropractic care alone should not be presented as a cure. Rehabilitation and appropriate referral may help support recovery.

 

Can I exercise while breastfeeding?

Many patients can exercise, but progression should account for recovery, fatigue, hydration, and medical guidance.
