A Pregnancy Chiropractor can also be beneficial after childbirth. In the eight weeks following labor and delivery, the ligaments that loosened during pregnancy begin to tighten and return to their pre-pregnancy state. Ideally, joint problems brought on during pregnancy from improper lifting or reaching should be treated during this time to prevent muscle tension, headaches, rib discomfort, and shoulder problems.
