Postpartum Chiropractor in San Antonio, TX
Looking for a postpartum chiropractor near you in San Antonio? At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Dan Foss, DC has 23+ years of experience helping new moms in San Antonio recover from pregnancy and childbirth — addressing pelvic misalignment, lower back pain, hip imbalance, breastfeeding posture issues, and even C-section recovery. Your first evaluation is free.
Pregnancy and childbirth dramatically reshape your pelvis, sacrum, and lumbar spine — and these changes don't automatically reverse after delivery. Dr. Foss is Webster Technique certified and uses gentle, low-force SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique) methods specifically appropriate for postpartum patients, including those who are nursing or recovering from C-section.
Pura Vida Chiropractic is bilingual (English and Spanish), insurance friendly, and located in northwest San Antonio at 2318 NW Military Hwy — easy to reach with baby in tow from Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Castle Hills, Helotes, Boerne, and surrounding areas. Babies are welcome in our family-friendly office.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start chiropractic care after giving birth?
Most patients can begin gentle postpartum chiropractic care 1-2 weeks after vaginal delivery, or 4-6 weeks after C-section once cleared by your OB. Dr. Foss uses low-force techniques (SOT) appropriate for early postpartum bodies. We always confirm with your delivering provider when you're ready.
Can I bring my baby to my appointment?
Absolutely — our office is family-friendly and babies are welcome. Many of our postpartum moms bring their newborns to every visit. We can also evaluate your baby for common pediatric issues (colic, breastfeeding latching, torticollis, sleep) at the same visit if you'd like.
Will postpartum chiropractic help with breastfeeding pain?
Yes — many breastfeeding moms suffer neck, shoulder, mid-back, and wrist pain from prolonged feeding postures. Chiropractic care relieves the structural pain AND we coach you on better breastfeeding ergonomics so the pain doesn't return. We can also evaluate your baby for tongue-tie, latching issues, and torticollis that can make breastfeeding harder.
How long does postpartum recovery typically take with chiropractic?
Most postpartum patients see significant pain relief within 4-6 visits. Full structural recovery (pelvic alignment, core function) typically takes 8-12 weeks of intermittent care. Dr. Foss will give you a clear timeline at your free first evaluation, customized to whether you delivered vaginally or by C-section, your activity level, and any specific complaints.
Do you accept insurance for postpartum chiropractic care?
We are insurance friendly. Bring your insurance card and ID to the office to verify how your insurance can contribute to your care.
