Babies and children benefit from adjustments too. Birth can be a traumatic experience on a newborn’s body. They are pulled, torqued and twisted which can affect the alignment of their spine. As children learn how to walk, they are falling constantly, and when they become older, children tend to be active and play sports. All of these activities can cause misalignments in your child’s spine. By evaluating and correcting misalignments in the spine, it can help prevent injury, pain and back issues later on in life. Pediatric chiropractors go through almost two years of special training, classes, research projects and a board certification test. They learn safe, gentle, effective and specific techniques to properly adjust little bodies.

Along with putting the spine in proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments have been proven to help increase immune system response. This can potentially help the body to better fight infections, decrease colic, and decrease severity of ear infections. Regular adjustments may decrease allergy symptoms, decrease growing pain and even help babies to sleep better. The doctor uses a very gentle touch when adjusting your child. It does not hurt and most children seem happy and relaxed after their adjustment.

Adjusting babies is one of my favorite things to do! They typically have immediate results. The best feeling is when a mom leaves the office after her baby has been adjusted and is amazed at how much calmer her baby is or what a great nursing session they just had.

I am excited to see your little one at HealthPro!
