New parents are focused on taking care of their beautiful new baby, but they must remember to also take care of themselves.
It is a stressful time in the life of new parents, as family dynamics and patterns change. The fatigue of long nights, prolonged postures, and often a reduction in physical activity leaves the body less able to deal with the new stresses, and less able to heal itself.
After delivery-related symptoms have been addressed, wellness-based chiropractic care can begin to maintain nervous system and spinal health and to keep the mother functioning at her best during the early and later postpartum periods. This allows the woman to be in the best health possible for herself, her family and for subsequent pregnancies.
But, ALL parents need to be able to keep up with their kids and their energetic lives. Regular self-care for parents prevents injury, increases energy and overall wellness. Having regular check ups after delivery prevents ongoing musculoskeletal issues, and helps new parents focus on the important things… like the first smile, the first laugh, and beyond.

Yes, children may benefit from chiropractic care.
Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort.
Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.
Chiropractic care for children should always be adapted to the child’s age, size, comfort level, and reason for seeking care. No healthcare treatment is completely risk-free, which is why a proper history and examination are important before treatment is recommended.
At Bridgwater Chiropractic, pediatric care is gentle and individualized. We assess whether chiropractic care is appropriate, discuss treatment options with parents or guardians, obtain informed consent, and refer for medical assessment or other care when needed.
Our focus with children and teenagers is on musculoskeletal concerns such as pain, stiffness, mobility, sports-related concerns, and other movement-related problems
