Postpartum and Regaining Health
Chinese medicine strongly believes that to preserve her long-term health, mothers must take special care during the critical recovery time following birth. We offer postpartum treatment to help a full recovery to pre-pregnancy health. In addition to usual obstetrical care, acupuncture can:
- Rebuild strength depleted by delivery, blood loss, sleep deprivation, and nursing
- Prevent postpartum depression
- Relieve pain and promote healing from hemorrhoids, tearing, C-sections, episiotomies, and epidurals
- Enhance milk production and prevent and treat mastitis or duct blockage
- Prevent scar tissue from C-sections
- Help the pelvic floor to recover
- Treat urinary leakage
- Treat irregular bleeding postpartum
- Regulate postpartum thyroid function
- treat neck and back pain post partum
- prevent early return of menstruation
