Mastitis / Clogged Ducts Pain Treatment in Bel Air MD

Symptoms of Clogged Ducts or Mastitis

One of the greatest challenges among new moms has to be breast feeding. Some new moms love the process and have no issues but for others the struggle is real. Not all women can easily breast feed.

Clogged duct symptoms:

• Pain
• Hard lump in breast
• Wedge shaped engorgement

If left untreated, in a matter of hours Mastitis can occur:

• Inflamed or even infected milk ducts
• Extreme pain and swelling
• Flu like symptoms (fever, chills fatigue body aches)

Treatment for Mastitis / Clogged Ducts

Again, this is not a common condition that your first thought is to see a chiropractor or get physical therapy. We most often treat this condition when a new mom happens to be a patient comes in and is miserable.

Manual therapies, keniso taping and modalities such as ultrasound and laser have helped many suffering mothers find relief. If you have developed an infection a call to your doctor will also be in order.
