HOW TO NATURALLY TREAT POSTPARTUM PAINS: BACK, PELVIS, AND MORE

Being a new mother is tough enough and throwing postpartum pains into the mix makes it even tougher. New mothers spend very little time in the hospital after giving birth, so postpartum pains have not been given much attention by healthcare providers.

This leaves many new moms wondering how to treat postpartum pains, in addition to pelvic pain, etc. Instead, postpartum pains in the back, pelvis, and elsewhere around the body should be treated like any other pain.

In the Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, researchers reported that 50% of women who have given birth report experiencing back pain and pelvic pain. But, researchers are unclear as to the actual reason why so many women experience pain.

TREATMENT METHODS FOR CONTINUED PAIN

A study in the journal Spine showed the effectiveness of pelvic girdle stabilization exercises. In this study, women were given physical therapy with or without the specific stabilization exercises.

PELVIC GIRDLE STABILIZATION EXERCISES

Cupping is another commonly used natural method for treating pain both during and after childbirth. In a study published in the International Journal of Community Based Nursing and Midwifery, cupping proved to be a positive natural treatment option for postpartum women.

CUPPING AND ACUPUNCTURE

Chiropractic care is another natural method for treating back pain and pelvic pain in postpartum women.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR POSTPARTUM PAIN

A sacroiliac belt (like this one) is a tool often prescribed by chiropractors for people who need extra support in their low backs or pelvises. There are also belts available for use by pregnant women to give them extra support during pregnancy.
