This episode of Deep Dive unpacks a pioneering chiropractic study that examines perinatal quality of life using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and PROMIS-29. Through retrospective analysis of 33 women under chiropractic care, the podcast explores physical and emotional shifts from late pregnancy to early postpartum. While average mental health scores remained stable, significant physical decline and pain interference were observed postpartum, with 70% of participants reporting worsened physical function. The hosts emphasize the potential value of chiropractic care in supporting nervous system integrity and the clinical usefulness of standardized tools in tracking individual well-being during the "fourth trimester."
