Postpartum Care

Support your body’s postpartum healing process so you’re able to help them grow up well.

The Postpartum period is incredibly joyous and exciting but we’re not lost on the fact that it can also bring on it’s own set of changes and challenges!

Mama has endured 9 months of physical and emotional changes to her body to bring a beautiful new little to the earth and immediately she begins to adapt to a new role of motherhood.

Having a postpartum chiropractor is so important in order to help the nervous system adapt to all of the physical and emotional stressors of pregnancy and birth, to support a new mother during recovery and postpartum, and help rebalance hormones!

Regular postpartum adjustments can also help with any upper back and neck pain you may experience due to feeding, lifting and carrying your new baby! There is a reason we call the upper back “the mom spot!” Not only does it help with aches and pain, but with mom’s ability to regulate mood, decrease anxiety and help you feel like you again!

We are here to help support you as a new mom and to ensure you feel and function your best!

Postpartum care at Be Well Chiropractic helps your body heal, recover and adapt to your new role. We’d love to partner with you to help you & your baby grow up well.

  • Breech Baby

    At 36 weeks, my baby was breech, and I was dreading the possibility of an ECV or c-section. However, after seeking care at Be Well, my baby turned naturally. Not only did I avoid medical interventions, but my labor and delivery were so much smoother compared to my first child. I can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Lauren, she made my second pregnancy journey a dream come true. Her support was invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to other expectant mothers facing similar challenges.

  • Nauseousness During Pregnancy

    "I was nauseous and very sore going through pregnancy changes. With prenatal chiropractic care, I felt stable and strong. I also didn’t have mood swings, nausea, pubic bone pain, round ligament pain anymore either! After my initial care, I was proud to share my nervous system with my baby and knew chiropractic was the right answer for the both of us."

    -Allie

  • Pregnancy Pain

    When I was three months pregnant, I was suffering from miserable back pain. I realized chiropractic care was working for us was when I was nine months pregnant, I felt better than I did at three months. I could play with my daughter without pain!

  • Hormone Regulation

    After getting off of birth control to regulate my hormones and my overall health, chiropractic care helped regulate my cycle to the least painful and healthiest it has been in my entire life. I wish I had implemented this as a teen rather than trying to fix years of reproductive pain in my late twenties. Dr. Lauren has been an innovator and inspirer in my wellness journey, and I am excited and so hopeful to see how my health flourishes when my time to conceive and start my family comes!

  • Neck, Back & Pregnancy Pain

    I was experiencing neck and back pain, as well as overall pregnancy aches and pains. I was told my pain would likely be my new normal, it was disheartening.

    When I saw my neurological scans I actually cried. It was validating seeing a visual representation of what I was feeling.

    I realized Dr. Lauren’s care was working when she had asked how my aches and pains were and I actually had to think back rather than living in a constant state of pain. I feel much more comfortable now!

  • Sciatic & Pregnancy Pain

    During my pregnancy, I was suffering from excruciating sciatic pain. It made each day a challenge and left me feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. The care at Be Well made an incredible difference. The relief was almost immediate, and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy more comfortably. I can't thank Dr. Lauren enough for her expertise and support during this crucial time in my life.

  • Headaches

    "My headaches postpartum were what seemed never ending and made the journey of motherhood even more difficult. After starting consistent care with Dr. Lauren, they went away instantly!"

  • Pregnancy Pain

    I was having very bad neck, back and hip pain. Now, my hips aren’t in constant pain and I even have less migraines now! Dr. Lauren has helped make my pregnancy easier and much less painful!

  • Postpartum Pain

    I was having a lot of body pain, my hips hurt so bad, I could not get out of bed or walk without being in pain and I was also having severe headaches. It felt like I was suffering by myself.

    The moment I left the office I realized chiropractic care was working. I am now able to play with my baby, I can move around the house and work with no pain! All my needs were listened to when I came here. My pain went away and I can live life without hurting. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I’ve never felt better!

  • Postpartum Body Pain

    Before finding Be Well, I had a locked mid back, hip mobility post partum and severe headaches due to neck tension. I had tried several other chiropractors who were using techniques that did not work for me and they had offered very little explanation for why my body was the way it was. I had tried mobility stretches and work outs, but ultimately it only made it worse.

    When I saw my scans I was honestly surprised but also incredibly validated and empowered because I finally had answers and proof of what I was already thinking.

    I had noticed chiropractic care was working for me around the second or third adjustment! Coming here has been my most comfortable and effective experience at the chiropractor!

    Now, I have so much less pain and picking up and playing with my son all day no longer leaves me in pain at the end of the day!
