Newborns, Infants and Kids

While amazing and beautiful, the birth process is a traumatic event for mom, and baby (some more traumatic than others.) Many say that new borns don’t have fully formed bones, so why would they need to see a chiropractor? That’s the exact reason. They have more “movability” in their bone structures. The truth is, have you ever seen a new born who’s head is flatter on one side, bulged on another or peaked in the center? Those are the bones of the skull, moving. Similar movement of bones can occur in the spine, around the spinal cord, in the hips and in various other areas of a child’s body. Children have nervous systems just like adults. They may not be able to articulate and say exactly what they are feeling but human physiology and the way the body works, is applicable to all ages. We help adults, by removing stress and interference from the body and nervous system to allow it to work optimally and heal. We do the same for infants and children. It’s not about pain, it’s about their bodies ability to develop optimally, without limitation. An adjustment given to an infant or child looks different then an adult. For new borns and infants, it may look like gentle massage or light finger pulsations, similar to using the same amount of pressure as gently pressing on a tomato to test its ripeness. Amazing stories of children who weren’t having bowel movements, to having multiple within an hour, not sleeping to sleeping soundly, wetting the bed to being dry, colicky to happy and relaxed and many more, are just some of the amazing things that can happen when children receive chiropractic care. We’d be honored to help your child and family. Contact us below.
