How Postpartum Acupuncture Supports Recovery Of New Moms?

Postpartum is a very challenging time for women and sometimes it is difficult to manage, both emotionally and physically. During your pregnancy,

You have fully prepared for the delivery day but what about the aftermath preparation?

Yes, the baby is finally here! Congratulations!!

But now what to do?  

Sometimes, a few clouds come to cover your beautiful and happy moments. The nights are getting shorter, the pregnancy's few extra pounds are too established, and stress levels are at their highest. To get rid of this problem, why not let yourself be tempted by postpartum acupuncture in San Francisco?  

There are plenty of incredible benefits of postpartum acupuncture. Let’s have a look at some of them:

Hormonal balance:

After childbirth, acupuncture can control hormonal levels, which may help in the recovery process. The treatment helps new mothers’ body in re-establishing hormonal balance and eliminates postpartum symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and mood swings.   

Pain relief:

After delivery, many women experience different types of pains, such as back pain, breast engorgement, or perineal discomfort. By stimulating the release of the body’s natural painkillers, “endorphins”, acupuncture can provide pain relief and reduce discomfort as well as help in a fast recovery.  

Stress reduction:

It is possible for the postpartum phase to be emotionally and physically overwhelming. By providing acupuncture sessions and targeting specific points, we help you reduce stress & anxiety, and promote relaxation.

Improving milk production:

Breastfeeding and low milk supply are the main challenges many women face nowadays. By increasing blood flow to the breasts and balancing the energy flows of the body, acupuncture helps stimulate milk production.  

Hormonal regulation for breastfeeding:

This postpartum acupuncture treatment helps regulate the hormonal changes related to breastfeeding, such as prolactin release. It helps to restore a steady milk supply and promote lactation.  

Treat postpartum depression:

Acupuncture treatment helps in managing postpartum depression. In this treatment, acupuncturists may help rebalance the body’s energy and control neurotransmitters associated with mood by targeting specific acupuncture points. It is frequently used in addition to other postpartum depression treatments as a supplemental therapy.  

Final Words:

It is crucial to remember that while acupuncture may have certain advantages, each person's experience may be different. Always consult with a certified and well-versed acupuncturist who has many years of experience and skills in postpartum care, like The Little Pin. We determine the best approach for your specific requirements in order to give you the best possible results.
