Why Moms Should Continue Getting Adjusted After Baby Is Born

You trained and prepared for pregnancy and birth—just like you were supposed to, from taking prenatal vitamins to attending childbirth classes. There are so many resources to help during pregnancy, and support teams often rally around you during those nine months. But what happens after the baby arrives?

You Deserve to Be Nurtured, Too

After months of physical change and the intensity of labor, your body and nervous system go through massive shifts in a matter of hours or days. And while your focus naturally shifts to caring for your newborn, it’s just as crucial to care for yourself. That’s where postpartum chiropractic care comes in.

Eden Prairie chiropractor Dr. ShaRhae Matousek understands this better than most—she’s a mom of three herself, and she’s spent over 25 years helping families heal naturally. She sees firsthand how essential chiropractic care is after Baby arrives.

Gentle Techniques Tailored to New Moms

Chiropractic adjustments are a powerful way to support your recovery. Dr. ShaRhae uses gentle, neurologically based techniques, including craniosacral therapy and extremity adjusting, to reduce stress, improve alignment, and help your body heal from the inside out. Her approach is tailored to the unique needs of new moms, from easing “nursing neck” and “baby hip” strain to improving overall function and resilience.

A Window for Healing and Renewal

Think of postpartum chiropractic care as a physical and emotional “reset.” Just as your baby needs time to adjust to the outside world, your body needs time (and gentle support) to find its new rhythm.

Before the hormone relaxin leaves your body and things tighten back up, it’s the perfect time to gently realign, rebalance, and support your healing journey. This isn’t just about getting back to “normal”—it’s about creating a new baseline of wellness, strength, and connection.
