Discover how Dr. Lowe debunks common misconceptions about chiropractic care and reveals its profound benefits far beyond mere pain relief, particularly for new mothers and their babies.

Childbirth methods can profoundly affect a baby’s development.
Dr. Lowe discusses the ramifications of chemical inductions, C-sections, and rapid births, and how these can lead to fussiness, colic, and developmental delays in infants.

This conversation shines a light on the necessity of holistic postpartum care, particularly for mothers who have faced challenging births, and emphasizes the emerging role of alternative health providers in this evolving landscape.

New mothers often face a myriad of physical challenges, from posture shifts during pregnancy to the physical demands of breastfeeding and holding their babies.

Dr. Lowe offers practical advice to alleviate discomforts like upper back and neck pain, pubic bone pain, and tailbone discomfort.

We underscore the importance of specialized chiropractic training to address these unique postpartum health issues, prevent chronic patterns, and improve nervous system function.
