Post-Pregnancy Core and Pelvic Floor Recovery at Phelts Chiropractic PC

Pregnancy places significant stress on both the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor. At Phelts Chiropractic PC in Midtown East, New York City, we offer advanced, non-invasive solutions to support postpartum recovery using EMSCULPT NEO and EMSELLA.

EMSCULPT NEO for Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti occurs when the abdominal muscles separate along the midline, commonly after pregnancy. Clinical reports commonly cite that EMSCULPT NEO may reduce this separation by 19% on average while improving core strength.

  • Strengthens deep abdominal muscles using electromagnetic energy
  • Improves abdominal support and posture
  • Tightens skin by supporting collagen and elastin production via radiofrequency energy

EMSELLA for Pelvic Floor Health and Urinary Incontinence

In addition to abdominal separation, many women experience pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth. EMSELLA is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and help address urinary incontinence.

  • Helps treat stress and urge urinary incontinence
  • Helps support improved sexual function
  • May help stabilize the pelvis, which can be associated with low back discomfort
  • Helps support gait and functional movement by improving pelvic floor strength and control

Important Postpartum Timing

For safety and best results, women should wait at least six months after giving birth before starting EMSCULPT NEO or EMSELLA treatments. This allows time for natural tissue healing and postpartum recovery.

Patients should also obtain clearance from their OB-GYN before beginning postpartum body or pelvic floor treatments.
