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.

  • After birth musculoskeletal pain

  • Abdominal separation/ weak abdominal muscles

Your Paddington Chiropractor

Our Paddington chiropractors can help by addressing any underlying musculoskeletal reason for these issues. Treatment for mama may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle releases, ligament releases, fascia releases, exercises and rehab.

Treatment for a baby is very gentle and tailored to their unique stage of development. Treatment may include mobilisation, gentle pressure, muscle releases, ligament releases and stretching. Pressure is very soft and specific and we use only finger/thumb pressure (similar to testing the softness of a piece of fruit).
