Infant Chiropractic

Service Description

Newborns and Chiropractic Care Many parents are unaware of the benefits of chiropractic for newborns. It seems to defy logic that a baby, brand new to this world, would have any health issues that would warrant a visit to a pediatric chiropractor, however, birth can be quite traumatic on your little one's spine. Initiating chiropractic care from the beginning of life can address any injuries or subluxations that may have occurred during the birth process and set the newborn up for a lifetime of health and well-being. Birth Injury in the United States Labor and delivery isn’t just difficult for the mother—the infant also experiences the physical stress and strain of the birth process. Around 2 percent of births in the United States result in physical injury to the infant. This percentage is likely low as injuries often go unnoticed and injuries to the spine may be painless, making it difficult to identify. These injuries can cause nerve system damage or interference and can lead to other health problems. The only way to determine if an injury has occurred is through an infant chiropractic care evaluation. Subluxation of the Spine Spinal subluxation occurs when one or more spinal vertebrae move out of position, creating stress or irritation on nearby nerves, which prevents the body from functioning optimally. One of the three most common causes of subluxation is trauma. Minor and/or major trauma can occur to an infant as he or she makes the way through the narrow birth canal, especially if the medical staff must use tools to assist the baby’s exit from the womb or birth canal. These traumas often result in subluxations—infant chiropractic care can help alleviate these issues through gentle adjustments. These adjustments remove the subluxation and allow the body to function optimally. Have Your Baby Checked Immediately following or soon after birth, it’s important to have your infant checked by a pediatric chiropractor to determine if any subluxation occurred. Research has shown a correlation between chiropractic care and a reduction in the symptoms of colic, ear infection, ADHD and more.
