Postpartum Support
Momma, you are so strong! You just brought a baby into this world and transitioned into the postpartum healing phase, also known as the fourth trimester. This postpartum period brings many drastic changes physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually and we want to be here to support you durning this phase. We want to be a vital part of your birth plan as well as your after-care plan. The childbirth process can cause significant misalignments in your spine and pelvis which can hinder your ability to heal or even cause issues with incontinence or other system dysfunctions.
It is vitally important to ensure your nervous system is open and connected as your hormones begin to balance out and your soft tissue heals. Moms often put themselves on the back-burner but you can only help our babies if you are functioning properly. At Innate Life Chiropractic, we want to help you prioritize yourself and help ensure your nervous system is functioning at the highest level so that your mind and body can adapt to these exciting changes in your life.
When we help moms at Innate Life Chiropractic, we often see:
- Improved, easier sleep
- Less discomfort
- Easier breastfeeding
- More mobility
- Improved mindset & mood
- Support biomechanical changes (especially between the shoulders, upper back, and lower neck)
- Increased brain-body connection
- Easier healing process
- Hormone regulation
- And more…
At Innate Life Chiropractic in Palatine, our chiropractor will perform an examination, neurospinal scans, and evaluate your posture to determine how your body is adaptaing to all the changes in your life. After analyzing the findings , Dr. Nathan will develop a care plan to help improve your health, the function of your spine & nervous system and quality of life expression.
