Chiropractic Treatment in Costa Mesa California Aided New Mom Regain Health From C-Section

I delivered my second child through caesarean-section. Then, I started having shoulder, neck, and head pain after she was born. I also noticed bruises developing in my abdomen and lower back. Costa Mesa Chiropractor

My older child, Joseph, did not understand why his mommy suddenly was unable to pick him up, carry him around, or even get down in the floor to play together. The pain was really unbearable.

Since I was so much in pain, I decided it would be a good idea to seek a chiropractor and begin treatment the soonest since I had visited a chiropractor several years ago where I used to live. I called Great Life Chiropractic in Costa Mesa and scheduled my first appointment.

During my consultation with Dr.Candice McCowin, DC, I felt totally at ease because she genuinely seemed interested in why I was there. She asked about the birth, about my lifestyle, my eating habits, and sleeping habits. It soon became apparent that she was dealing with me as a whole person rather than just the symptoms that brought me to her that day.

The first adjustment was a success! The pain in my shoulder, neck, and head withered away immediately. I understood that the pain may come back since my body had recently been through so much with the pregnancy and c-section. Since it was a matter of the vertebral sublaxations (spinal imbalance putting pressure on the nervous system) still being present, keeping the spine maintained over time was the best thing to do.

I realized how much my young family could benefit from chiropractic care after a couple of treatments. So I brought along my new baby, Sophia for Dr. McCowin to see. My main concern was over what she might have gone through during the c-section. She has been spitting up more often, which I did not see in my son when he was a baby.

Baby Sophia began to keep milk down without the excessive spitting up, which was a big relief after following her treatments. It’s been a year that Joseph underwent Dr. McCowin’s care and the results have been phenomenal. He does not find any trouble going to sleep at night and does not deal with constipation anymore.

My only regret is not finding Great Life Chiropractic sooner. I have learned from studies that instead of waiting to begin after delivery, women can recover easier from pregnancy and birth after having chiropractic care. Of course, like the old saying goes, “Better late than never.” Chiropractic Treatment in Costa Mesa California
