Family Chiropractic Paddington
Postnatal & Pediatric Chiropractor Paddington
There is nothing more special than meeting your baby for the very first time and starting to develop the mother and baby bond through those first cuddles and feeds. But, let’s be real; birth can be really hard, recovery can be slow and for some, breastfeeding can be a massive challenge. Birth doesn’t always go to plan and some things can have a negative effect on our musculoskeletal system and in turn impact mama’s recovery and breastfeeding such as: prolonged labour, c-section, instrument delivery (forceps, vacuum), shoulder dystocia, large baby. But, you don’t have to suffer through. If you are going through some body challenges after giving birth, book an appointment to see one of our brisbane chiropractors.
