What should I know about primary care?

Primary care is the area of medicine that manages your health. Your primary care provider is the first person you see whenever you need medical care. 

Primary care is responsible for your wellness exams, cares for acute illnesses and injuries, and diagnoses and treats chronic health conditions. Your primary care provider also focuses on prevention, monitoring your health, and talking to you about issues before they become serious concerns.

Newma is a health practice that provides primary care for women and their babies. The family nurse practitioners at Newma understand that moms and newborns do better when treated together.

What are the benefits of mom and baby primary care?

There are many benefits of seeing the same primary care provider for postpartum and newborn care. In addition to managing general health and wellness, the team at Newma includes international board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLC) who help new moms with breastfeeding and a speech therapist to assist with bottle feeding difficulties. 

By caring for you and your baby, the team at Newma ensures everyone gets all the medical services needed to protect their health and promote wellness for you and your baby. 

The team at Newma takes a holistic, naturalistic, and informative approach to care, providing you with the tools and support necessary to help you achieve your post-baby wellness goals.

What types of primary care services can I expect?

Newma offers many primary care services that benefit you and your baby. The primary care services include:

Postpartum Care

Pregnancy and childbirth affect your physical and emotional well-being. The team at Newma provides the one-on-one care you need after the delivery of your baby. 

Newborn and Infant Care

Newborn and infant care is the medical care and monitoring of your baby's needs during their first two years of life. Family nurse practitioners carefully monitor growth and development and provide education to help you manage your baby’s well-being. Newma's practitioners also provide care whenever illness occurs. 

Lactation Support

Breastfeeding is natural but not always easy. Newma's certified lactation consultants provide one-on-one support and education as well as offer support groups.

Chiropractic Care

Childbirth affects skeletal alignment and may cause discomfort as well as infant feeding. Newma has a chiropractor who provides skeletal adjustments for both moms and babies. 

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on treatment that restores cerebrospinal fluid balance in the central nervous system. This gentle therapy reduces tension, eases discomfort, and boosts well-being. This therapy is beneficial for both mothers and infants.
