Chiropractic Care for Children and Babies
One of the most common questions parents ask at Chiropractic First is, "Do you adjust children and babies?" The answer is "yes!" (The youngest baby Dr. Jane has adjusted was a mere 4 hours old!)
Often, one of the first traumas experienced is at birth. As the baby travels through the birth canal, it can be a very trying experience, especially if there is any medical intervention, such as tugging, pulling, forceps, vacuum extraction or C-section delivery.
The trauma a baby’s spine encounters during this process can cause subluxation and symptoms of an unhappy baby. Many times, these subluxations remain unnoticed by physicians and parents until other symptoms appear. Some of the symptoms that may become apparent include:
- Colic
- Poor development
- Sleep disorders
- Symptoms of lowered immunity
A Highly Gentle Form of Chiropractic
The chiropractic adjustment that most people think of involves twisting and popping. This is not the same adjustment used with newborns and infants. In fact, the amount of pressure used is similar to the amount of pressure one can tolerate when pressing on a closed eyelid.
Dr. Jane feels that every system in the body is checked when a baby is born, except the most important one - the one that protects the nervous system! A chiropractor can evaluate the spine of an infant or newborn and deliver an appropriate adjustment to correct the subluxations. To set up an appointment for your newborn or infant, please call Chiropractic First at 701-298-7778.
