Why Postpartum Care Matters
The postpartum period, often called the "fourth trimester," is a critical time of healing and adjustment. Your body undergoes significant changes after childbirth, and proper care during this time can make a tremendous difference in your recovery and overall wellbeing.
At AlignSD, we understand the unique challenges of the postpartum period and offer specialized care to support your body's natural healing process, help you manage discomfort, and adapt to the physical demands of caring for your newborn.

When to Start Postpartum Care
Many mothers wonder about the ideal time to begin postpartum chiropractic care. While every birth and recovery is unique, here are some general guidelines:
- Vaginal Birth:
Generally, you can begin gentle chiropractic care as soon as 1-2 weeks postpartum, depending on your recovery.
- Cesarean Birth:
We typically recommend waiting 4-6 weeks or until your incision has healed and you've been cleared by your doctor.
- Urgent Concerns:
If you're experiencing significant discomfort, we can provide modified care earlier with your doctor's approval.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Bonnie will assess your specific needs and create a personalized care plan that respects your body's healing process while providing the support you need during this important transition.
What Our Patients Say
Hear from mothers who have experienced the benefits of our postpartum care
Rachel S.
"She does not rush appointments. She genuinely cares about her patients and the quality of care she offers you. She helped my body's aches and pains during the last trimester of my pregnancy as well as helped with some postpartum pain I experienced."
Beth O.
"My first baby was born with torticollis and also had hip dysplasia. Through some research, there seemed to be a correlation between having a tilted pelvis (which I have) and having babies with torticollis. So, with my second I wanted to make sure to get routine chiropractic adjustments. I am happy to report that my second babe was born without torticollis or hip dysplasia."
Alexandra M.
"Dr. Bonnie is amazing. I saw her when I was in my third trimester and had serious back pain -- literally at a 10 and could barely walk because the pain was so intense. After delivery, I continued care and it made such a difference in my recovery. I was able to focus on my baby instead of my pain."
