Why Does My Post-Partum Back Pain Get Worse When I Wake Up?
Why does post-partum back pain flare up when you wake up? Chiropractors in La Cañada Flintridge explain the real cause and how to get lasting relief.
If your post-partum back pain gets noticeably worse when you wake up, you're not imagining it — and it's not random. There's a mechanical reason, and once you understand it, the fix becomes obvious.
Post-partum back pain is common as the body recovers from months of altered mechanics. Restoring pelvic and low back function speeds the return to feeling like yourself.
Why In The Morning Makes Post-Partum Back Pain Flare Up
When you wake up, your body loads the joints and muscles involved in post-partum back pain in a very specific way. If those joints already aren't moving well — restricted at one level, hypermobile at another — the load has nowhere good to go. It gets absorbed by the tissues that are already irritated, and the pain spikes.
