after pregnancy chiropractic

  I have been one busy mom! Just when I think I have my crazy schedule figured out I come to another speed bump.  So my new look on my life and gym schedule is to just wing it. There seems to be no such thing as a schedule these days with extra curricular activities. I decided this week I will be getting my WODs in at whatever time works best for my family and I. This will take me out of my comfort zone, from working out with my friends to meeting new athletes in our gym and getting to know everyone alot better.  Now that I had a week of recovery I'm feeling fabulous again thank goodness.  After focusing on my health and strength my next step has been to focus on my injured shoulder.  I started this process with a trip to the chiropractor today.  I like to be as natural as possible and after months of trying to heal my shoulder myself I finally realized I might need a little extra help. I would like to avoid doctors if it's something minor and after lots of research I came to the conclusion that my back and neck are all out of alignment after pregnancy ,which is all connected to nerves and muscles in our shoulders. Sure enough I think I was right after my first trip to my chiropractor I already feel a difference.
         Throughout pregnancy and after labor our bodies have shifted in so many different positions. After my son was born I would get a constant pain in the back of my head.  I just assumed it was apart of my allergies and cold season but I was wrong. Everything I have been feeling since I was about 7 months pregnant is all from my pregnancy and also tweaked back. Not only can a chiropractor help after pregnancy but also during.  A chiropractor can help you establish pelvic balance and alignment.  This helps reduce discomfort for mom and baby and it also helps to get baby in the best position for delivery. Pretty awesome right?  So now after birth help. After delivery the mother's pelvic obviously changes these changes can bring discomfort with just walking or sleeping. It can also be beneficial to mobilize the upper and lower back region. Some of the most common conditions treated are sciatica or pelvic pain as well as middle back pain.  In my personal experience I had neck,shoulder, and sciatica was beginning.  Everybody is different my personal situation has been a combination of pregnancy  as well as working out during and after pregnanc. Instead of getting in to see my chiropractor I just tried to roll it out, and massages but eventually things got progressively worse. So learn from me anytime things feel a little tweaked go get it checked out better to be safe than injured. So now I end my day super excited not only do I feel great but my shoulder is also on the road to recovery. I willl be really kicking butt in the gym soon!
