The Fourth Trimester: Why Postpartum Chiropractic Care Is Just as Important as Prenatal Care

The “fourth trimester” — the first 12 weeks after birth — is a critical healing season for moms. Yet, most women are sent home with little support beyond a six-week checkup. At Tula Chiropractic & Wellness in McKinney, we specialize in postpartum chiropractic care to help moms recover fully and avoid long-term issues.

Why the Fourth Trimester Matters

  • Ligaments and joints are still loose from pregnancy hormones

  • Postural strain from feeding and holding baby adds stress

  • Emotional and nervous system changes can cause fatigue and overwhelm

How Chiropractic Supports Healing

  • Realigns the pelvis and spine after birth

  • Helps regulate hormones and nervous system

  • Relieves tension headaches and upper back pain from nursing/posture
