“50% – 100% of women experience back pain at some point during their pregnancy (pregnancy most commonly affects the low back and pelvis). 72% of pregnant women seeking chiropractic care for back pain benefited from chiropractic treatment”. – Dr. C Borggen, D.C

• Physiologically speaking, labour and delivery is likely the most naturally drastic transformation a human being can endure in 4-30 hours (depending on your birthing experience!). Labour and delivery is no exception to any other marathon event. You need recovery time. Once baby comes, your life changes.  Chiropractic care is one of the many secret weapons in the natural health care realm that can enable your body to recover optimally and prevent common conditions associated with the birth of your little one.  

Chiropractic care can help ensure your pelvis is balanced after labor and delivery to ensure an optimal functioning pelvic floor. Balancing the pelvis (and pubic bone) can reduce, and potentially eliminate, common pelvic floor concerns including stress incontinence (unintentional urination while coughing, sneezing or during exercise).

Post-birth postural and habitual changes also play an immense role in your body’s ability to recover. Following delivery, you often find yourself constantly hunching forward as you feed or carry your newborn. All of your new daily activities seem to revolve around hovering over your baby, ensuring that they are the happy, healthy newborn you have always imagined.
