Chiropractic Care For Infants & Toddlers

Chiropractic babies thrive and have the best start in life. No baby is too small for an adjustment. A well-adjusted spine and optimally functioning nervous system are the keys to healthy growth and development.

The birth process can be traumatic and aggressive, with increased amount of abnormal stress and tension put on the newborn’s spine, musculature, and nerves from the twisting and pulling used to deliver a baby. 60-90 pounds of pressure can be put on your baby’s neck during delivery and these delivery methods can create micro-traumas of the spinal structures and nervous system.

Chiropractic adjustments following birth have demonstrated positive effects in infants experiencing difficulties including trouble breastfeeding or latching, colic, reflux, chronic ear infections, allergies, asthma, ADD, chronic bed wetting, digestive issues, constipation, difficulty sleeping, general fussiness, and weakened immune system function.

At Journey Chiropractic, newborn & infant adjustments are specific, gentle, safe and look much like a gentle massage. We use a soft pressure (the amount of pressure you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato) to relieve the irritation on the nervous system so your baby can grow healthy and happy.
