Moms and moms-to-be can develop various aches and pains. These complaints aren't unwarranted. Pregnancy, delivery and poor positioning/posture, while nursing, carrying a newborn or lifting a toddler, stresses a woman's musculoskeletal system in unique and ranging ways.

More common areas of pain include:

Unfortunately, these pains don't always just go away. And, left untreated, many of these seemingly innocuous pains can develop into chronic conditions.

Our Spaulding clinical team possesses the requisite expertise along with a unique approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues associated with pregnancy and post partum.

The team, led by a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), treats the problem and symptoms, and educates our female patients how to preventing recurrence or development of a chronic condition.

We start with a thorough structural examination to discover the cause of the problems (for example, excessive body weight and generalized de-conditioning.)

Our one-stop clinic includes a doctor of osteopathy, who is up-to-date on pregnancy adapted Osteopathic Manual Techniques (OMT), a staff of experienced physical and occupational therapists, and a nutritionist to help patients get back into shape and even lose those extra baby pounds.
