PP chiropractor visit?

whitemn04

I'm five weeks PP from a c section and am wondering about going to the chiro. I'm sure I could go in for a neck adjustment but what about lower back? The surgery aspect of things are a bit sore but nothing that really bothers me unless I really over exert myself. But my back and hips hurt. I'm sure things are still shifting back so would going in even be worth it? Should I wait until after my 6/7 week check up? My minimal sleep times are often interrupted by an ache and I need to change positions. What have you all done?

My chiro said I could come back after my 6 week PP checkup with the ok from my midwife. Have you asked your chiropractor their opinion? They usually have a time frame they are ok with seeing someone, and would have an idea of when it is ok to see someone post-surgery. Between that and your Dr, should give you an idea of when is safe to go.

My chiropractor wouldn't adjust my lower back till I was cleared at 6 weeks. He could do my neck but my area of problems are my hips. I was there this morning .

I did a full adjustment at 4 days pp. the chiro did it just like when I was pregnant, on my side. I did not have a c-section, but I didn't need additional medical clearance.
