Pregnancy is stressful for your body.
Even in the healthiest pregnancies, the physical changes, hormonal shifts, and emotional demands accumulate in ways that often go untreated or are dismissed as “just part of being pregnant”.
And then postpartum arrives with its own challenges that include healing while feeding a newborn, navigating sleepless nights, adjusting to a new identity, and returning to work.
Many people assume these strains simply resolve on their own, but in reality, your body is struggling to regain its equilibrium during pregnancy and long after the baby is born.
This is why acupuncture can be such an important tool in self-care throughout your pregnancy journey - from conception to 4th Trimester. Many patients are told by their doctors that their pain will get better after the baby is born, and that isn’t always the case.
