A Gentle Reminder: Chiropractic Is Great for Babies
One of our loyal practice members stopped by recently for his regular chiropractic visit. And as he waited patiently in the lobby for me to finish helping the family in front of him, I couldn’t help but hear him giggling as he heard me doing a little “baby talk” in the adjusting room a few feet away. Clearly, I was doing a chiropractic adjustment on a sweet newborn while mom and dad watched, and … well … what can I say? I love talking to our practice members — even the smallest of them all.
“That was sweet, Doc! How come you don’t talk to me like that?” he said with a massive smirk on his face.
Did I mention this particular practice member is a smart aleck? We love him, though!
While I can’t promise that my staff or I will talk to you in baby talk, we can tell you that chiropractic care is great for babies! That may be surprising to some moms and dads, but the reality is that one of the most commonly overlooked causes of spinal misalignments is the birthing process. With up to 55 pounds of force used to twist and turn a baby’s head and neck, delivery can cause misalignments in a large portion of little ones.
As a result, many babies face a variety of symptoms that most parents chalk up to simply being a baby. But in reality, they are issues that can quickly be corrected with chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care can help with symptoms such as:
Colic
Lack of sleep
Reflux
Irritability
Constipation
Eating issues
Ear infections
ADHD
And so much more …
Even if your baby has no spinal misalignments, many parents bring their children to give them a healthy head start in life. It is a very gentle process, and we only use 1-3 pounds of force, much like testing the ripeness of an avocado, to ease their spine back into proper alignment.
Fostering a family-friendly environment is what we do, and we’ll always be here to serve all your chiropractic care needs. We know how precious your little ones are, so we are honored and excited to be trusted with their health.
