#5 - The Chiropractic Care Every Pregnant Mom Should Know About | Karissa Castner, DC

What really happens after childbirth and why aren’t we talking about it?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Karisa from Haven Chiropractic & Wellness shares her personal and professional journey through pregnancy trauma, emergency C-section, postpartum PTSD, and launching a women-focused chiropractic practice that puts humanity first.

We cover:

• Why chiropractic care during pregnancy is about the nervous system, not cracking bones
• What birth trauma actually feels like and why it often goes unseen
• The silent signs of postpartum depression and PTSD
• Gentle chiropractic care for babies: what it is, how it works, and why it matters
• What dads should be doing during pregnancy (and what not to say)
• The truth behind the “you’ll have to come forever” myth in chiropractic
• Farts on the adjustment table and other real-life stories from practice

This episode is funny, raw, educational, and full of real talk every mom, dad, or wellness-minded human needs to hear.
