Postpartum Chiropractic Care in Bristol TN
Your body just achieved something incredible—support it in the critical “fourth trimester” with targeted chiropractic care aimed to restore alignment, reduce discomfort, and support your physical and emotional well-being.
Benefits of Postpartum Chiropractic Care
- Aligning Spine & Pelvis – After birth, pelvic and spinal alignment can be off due to relaxin remnants and childbirth strain. Chiropractic adjustments help realign your structure, relieving lower back, hip, and sacral discomfort.
- Ease Neck, Shoulder & Back Strain- Feeding, rocking, carrying—new moms are in this posture marathon. Gentle adjustments restore neck, upper-back, and shoulder mobility, relieving tension from those repetitive movements
- Support Nervous System & Milk Production – Proper nervous system function is vital for milk production and let-down. Misalignments in the thoracic spine can interfere with nerve signals to the pituitary and mammary glands. Realignment supports hormone release (oxytocin & prolactin), enhancing milk volume and flow.
- Restore Core & Pelvic Floor Function – Chiropractic care in the postpartum period supports core reactivation and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Incorporating gentle adjustments, core exercises, and breath work helps re-stabilize your pelvis, improving function and reducing leakage or instability.
- Reduce Stress, Balance Hormones, Support Mood – Stress and hormonal shifts can support postpartum blues. Adjustments activate the parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” system, helping reduce stress levels and hormonal imbalance—potentially lowering the risk or severity of postpartum depression.
- Aid Recovery After Birth Trauma – Whether birth was easy or led to trauma, your system may carry tension. Chiropractic care addresses structural “shifts” to promote recovery and alleviate residual stress in your spine and pelvis .
- Ongoing Support for Motherhood Life – Motherhood involves constant bending, lifting, and posture challenges—diaper changes, stroller-lugging, car seats. Regular chiropractic maintenance care keeps your spine aligned, reducing chronic strain on your lower back, hips, and pelvis .
