At Back2Strength, your trusted Eugene chiropractor, we understand the challenges new mothers face. Childbirth is a beautiful journey, but it can take a toll on your body, particularly your pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a critical role in supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowels, yet many women are unaware of how common pelvic floor dysfunction is after giving birth.
The Hidden Impact of Childbirth on Your Pelvic Floor
Research shows that 50% of women experience pelvic floor dysfunction within 10 years of their first childbirth. Symptoms can include:
- Urinary incontinence (leaking urine during coughing, sneezing, or exercise)
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area
These issues can significantly affect your quality of life, making everyday activities like exercising, lifting your child, or even laughing feel daunting.
The Connection Between Your Lower Back and Pelvic Floor
Did you know that your lower back can influence pelvic floor symptoms? Misalignments or tension in your spine and pelvis can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. At Back2Strength, our chiropractic care goes beyond just easing back pain. By improving the alignment and function of your spine and pelvis, we help address the root causes of pelvic floor issues, offering a holistic approach to postpartum recovery.
