Postpartum Chiropractic Care in Wichita, KS
You spent months caring for your body during pregnancy. Now that your baby is here, your body needs that same attention — maybe even more.
At New Beginnings Chiropractic, we help new moms in Wichita recover from the physical demands of pregnancy and birth with gentle, supportive postpartum chiropractic care. Whether you delivered vaginally or by C-section, your body has been through one of the most intense physical experiences of your life. You deserve care that helps you heal, not just survive.
Your Body After Birth — Why Postpartum Care Matters
During pregnancy, your body made enormous adaptations — your pelvis widened, your spine shifted to accommodate your growing belly, and the ligaments throughout your pelvis and core loosened under the influence of the hormone relaxin. These changes don't reverse themselves overnight.
After birth, many women experience lingering pelvic misalignment, lower back pain, hip instability, and tension in the neck and shoulders from feeding and holding their baby. The physical demands of caring for a newborn — bending over cribs, lifting car seats, hours spent nursing or bottle-feeding — add new stresses on top of a body that hasn't fully recovered.
Without intentional care, these imbalances can become chronic. Postpartum chiropractic care addresses the root of these issues so your body can heal properly and you can feel like yourself again.
How Chiropractic Supports Postpartum Recovery
Chiropractic care after birth can help with:
- Pelvic realignment — Restoring proper position to the pelvis after it widened and shifted during pregnancy and birth
- Lower back pain — Addressing the spinal misalignments and muscle compensation patterns that developed over nine months
- Neck and shoulder tension — Relieving the strain caused by feeding positions, holding your baby, and the forward-leaning posture that comes with newborn care
- Overall nervous system support — Helping your body shift out of the heightened stress response that often accompanies the postpartum period and back toward rest, recovery, and regulation
What Postpartum Chiropractic Looks Like at New Beginnings
Adjustments are gentle and considerate of the recovery process. If you've had a C-section, we adjust our approach to avoid any pressure near your incision site while still addressing the pelvic and spinal imbalances that need attention.
Most new moms benefit from consistent care in the early postpartum weeks, gradually spacing visits out as their body regains stability and strength.
Dr. Hanna is a new mother herself — she understands firsthand the physical demands of postpartum life and brings that lived experience into every appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start chiropractic care after giving birth?
Most women can begin within the first few weeks after delivery. If you had an uncomplicated vaginal birth, you can often start as soon as you feel ready. If you had a C-section, we recommend waiting until you're cleared by your OB or midwife, typically around 4–6 weeks, though gentle care may begin sooner depending on your recovery.
Is chiropractic safe after a C-section?
Yes. We modify our techniques to accommodate C-section recovery, avoiding direct pressure on the incision area while still addressing pelvic and spinal alignment. Many C-section moms find postpartum chiropractic especially helpful for recovery.
How does chiropractic help with breastfeeding difficulties?
When your spine and shoulders are misaligned, it can make finding a comfortable feeding position difficult. Adjustments to the upper back, neck, and shoulders can relieve the tension that makes nursing feel strained, helping you and your baby settle into feeding more comfortably.
How often should I see a chiropractor postpartum?
This varies based on your delivery, your symptoms, and how your body is recovering. Many new moms start with weekly visits and taper as they feel stronger. We'll work with you to find a rhythm that supports your recovery without adding stress to your schedule.
