POSTPARTUM CARE
& RECOVERY
Postpartum is the time for re-balancing and restoration after the amazing process of childbirth. Treatment for Post-Partum and Recovery focuses on supporting both the patient's physical and emotional recovery process - taking into account the specifics of their birth experience.
Recovery plans and treatment are adjusted in consideration of whether labor and delivery included a cesarean or vaginal birth, was medicated or unmedicated, or warranted other medical interventions due to i.e. preeclampsia, emergency procedures, profuse blood loss, etc.
Nutritional and lifestyle recommendations are key at this time, and are carefully integrated into the treatment and recovery planning.
