How does chiropractic care support breastfeeding success?

Written By Kaeli Humphrey

Happy world breastfeeding week! Did you know that chiropractic care can help to support the breastfeeding relationship?

Chiropractic supports both nervous system and structural function, which may play an important role in making nursing more comfortable and effective.

Baby and mama may both benefit from chiropractic care.

For mom:

  • Eases neck, back, and shoulder tension from nursing positions

  • Supports postural alignment and comfort

  • Helps regulate the nervous system (which can influence the let-down reflex)

For baby:

  • Gentle cranial and spinal work may support jaw function, latch mechanics, and nervous system regulation

  • Addresses tension that can develop from birth, especially after long labors or assisted deliveries

  • Encourages overall balance and comfort for feeding and bonding

Dr. Kaeli has taken specific continuing education coursework designed to support nursing mamas and babies! Care is always gentle, specific, and individualized. You deserve support that honors both of your bodies.
