Chiropractic Treatment for Mastitis: A Holistic Approach to Relief and Prevention
Mastitis is a painful condition that many new mothers face, often during breastfeeding. It occurs when breast tissue becomes inflamed, sometimes leading to infection. While mastitis is common, it can be overwhelming and exhausting for mums who are already adjusting to the demands of caring for a newborn.
At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, we offer supportive, natural approaches that may assist in the treatment and prevention of mastitis. Our care focuses not only on relieving pain and inflammation but also on addressing the underlying postural stress that often contributes to blocked ducts and ongoing issues.
Why Posture Matters for Mastitis
Many new mums spend hours in forward-flexed positions while feeding or holding their baby. This posture can:
Place extra pressure on the chest and breast tissue
Restrict normal circulation and lymphatic drainage
Increase the risk of blocked milk ducts
By improving posture through gentle chiropractic adjustments and targeted exercises, we help:
Open up the chest and shoulders
Restore proper spinal alignment
Reduce pressure that contributes to duct blockages
Better posture not only assists in recovery but also helps prevent mastitis from recurring.
Advanced Therapies for Mastitis
In addition to postural correction, we use non-invasive therapeutic technologies that may support recovery:
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Promotes circulation in breast tissue
Helps break down blockages in milk ducts
Encourages healing and reduces inflammation
Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy)
Stimulates tissue repair at the cellular level
Reduces pain and inflammation without heat
Supports faster recovery and comfort for breastfeeding
Both therapies are safe, gentle, and can be used alongside medical treatment where needed.
Integrative Care and When to Seek Help
While chiropractic care can provide valuable support, mastitis that involves fever, chills, or worsening pain requires prompt medical attention. Our chiropractors work alongside GPs, lactation consultants, and other healthcare professionals to ensure you receive the best care possible.
