Infant/Newborn Care
Chiropractic care for newborns is essential in promoting their overall health and well-being. The birthing process is a traumatic experience and can place significant stress on a baby’s spine and nervous system impacting their health into childhood and adulthood. Chiropractic adjustments are gentle yet effective in restoring proper alignment. Chiropractic care is incredibly safe for infants, with adjustments tailored to their delicate bodies using gentle techniques. This can alleviate discomfort from birth-related stressors and improve a variety of conditions such as colic, reflux, nursing related challenges, sleep, digestion, torticollis and much more by addressing spinal misalignments that may contribute to these conditions. By supporting optimal nervous system function early on, chiropractic care sets a foundation for lifelong health and well-being in newborns.
Safety of the Infant Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments for infants are performed with gentle techniques specifically designed for their developing bodies. Chiropractors trained in pediatric care understand the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of infants, ensuring that adjustments are safe and appropriate. The adjustments are incredibly gentle, using minimal pressure, which is significantly less than what is applied to adults. Chiropractors are knowledgeable about the developmental stages of infants and are skilled in recognizing any contraindications. Additionally, safety protocols and thorough assessments are performed before any treatment, ensuring the well-being of the child throughout the process.
