Do we treat pregnant or postpartum patients?

Yes! We use hands-on osteopathic treatments to treat patients throughout pregnancy and postpartum. We ensure that all body parts are free from restriction and capable of motion so that the body can accommodate growth and changes. With room to move, birthing parents and babies can find themselves more prepared for optimal positioning for birth.

Labor and delivery often leave birthing parents exhausted: physically, mentally, and emotionally. However the delivery may have been: cesarean, vaginal, or assisted, at home or in the hospital, by optimizing the body’s structure post-delivery using osteopathic treatment, we can help birthing parents recover and heal quicker. We look beyond asymmetries and work to balance the structure including the pelvis, the fascia, blood flow and lymphatic drainage, as well as the autonomic nervous system. Structural imbalances may feel like one leg is longer, pelvic pain, or back pain. Fascial imbalances may feel like pulls or tugs into certain body areas. Lymphatic or blood flow imbalances can look like leg swelling, puffiness, carpal tunnel-like symptoms, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, or uncomfortable breast engorgement. Imbalances of the autonomic nervous system may present as constipation, abnormal breast milk supply, and uncomfortable mood changes. As osteopathic physicians, we take a comprehensive view of the body, and treat what we find.

What do ankyloglossia (tongue tie), difficulty breastfeeding, torticollis (head turning preference) and plagiocephaly (misshapen head) have in common?
The cranial base!
Yes! It’s anatomy. Tongue tie restricts normal physiologic motion at the cranial base. Torticollis is often caused by tension and irritation on cranial nerve XI, the spinal accessory nerve, which exits the brain at the jugular foramen, between the occipital and temporal bones (at the cranial base). Torticollis is often associated with plagiocephaly because the head gets flattened on the same side as the rotational preference (if prefers turning to the right, the right posterior head gets flattened). Both tongue tie and Torticollis contribute to breastfeeding difficulty! An osteopathic physician who specializes in osteopathic manipulative medicine can help!
