5 weeks post hysterectomy - chiropractor
I am at 5 weeks and feel like I need to see my chiropractor. Has anyone else ever gone to a chiropractor this soon?

Re: chiropractor
I went to my chiropractor at 2 weeks post op following my LAVH. I simply told him that I had a hysterectomy, and he did manipulations and adjustments differently, but just fine.

Re: chiropractor
I went at 6 weeks. At my pre-op appointment I asked my doctor how soon I could go and she said 3 weeks at first. After I told her about one technique he used, she changed it to 6 weeks. At 6 weeks I was able to lie face down on the table and have my lower back adjusted using the table drop. My abdomen was still a little tender, but it didn't bother me too much. My chiropractor told me he could do it differently if lying on my stomach hurt too much. I didn't let him do that one technique until 3 or 4 months post-op. I liken it to having my insides squashed out. If you feel like you need to be adjusted, check with your surgeon to see if s/he is okay with you having that done.

Re: 5 weeks post hysterectomy - chiropractor
I waited until just a couple weeks ago (7+ months post op). Wanted to make sure I was good and healed first. If in doubt, I'd definitely check with your surgeon before doing so.
