Does my baby have a spine problem? What can I look for?

Joint problems in infants are not always obvious to the casual onlooker and may require professional assessment to detect and resolve. Here are 8 things you can look for to see if it’s worth getting your baby checked by a Chiropractor:

1. Persistent head-turn preference to one side when sleeping
2. Flat spot developing on their head, at the back or off to one side
3. Head consistently tilts to one side when they face you, or when lifting their head during tummy time
4. One-sided breast-feeding fussiness, especially if milk flow is the same on both sides
5. Difficulty latching or feeding in the absence of technique problems, lip/tongue tie, or high palate
6. Crying or restlessness primarily when in car seat or capsule, or when getting dressed/changed
7. Discomfort with Tummy Time, in the absence of reflux/excessive wind
8. Excessive irritability or crying, in the absence of other more obvious causes

If you suspect a joint or muscle problem in your baby’s spine, shoulder or hip, schedule an initial appointment with us today to learn more and to see if we can assist. Call 8272 2862 or Book Online.

Baby having trouble with tummy time?
Do they struggle to lift their head at an age where you feel they should be able?
Does their head tilt to one side when they look at you?
Do they seem to tire, or begin crying, more quickly than you would expect?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, your baby may be finding certain movements or positions uncomfortable or difficult because of their spine or shoulders.

Does your baby cry more in the car? Sensitivity in the connective tissues of the spine or shoulders can prevent some babies from getting comfortable in the car seat. The angle of the seat or capsule, or the pressure from the straps, can highlight joint or muscle discomfort in the spines or shoulders of some babies.

Feeling Dizzy? Dizziness can be unsettling—whether it’s a mild imbalance or full-on vertigo, it can make everyday life challenging. While there are many causes of dizziness, some cases are linked to spinal problems in the neck (cervical spine) that affect the nervous system and balance function.

How Can Chiropractic Help? Gentle adjustments can help restore proper function in the cervical spine, and reduce nerve information conflicts.

Many of my patients have experienced relief from dizziness after chiropractic care. If you or someone you know struggles with balance issues, let’s talk! A thorough evaluation could reveal if chiropractic is a good option for you.

Baby with a feeding problem? We may be able to help.

Neck discomfort/guarding can prevent some babies from remaining comfortable in certain positions during feeding and can affect their ability to swallow. A one-sided breast-feeding preference, in the absence of ni**le or milk flow problems, is not an uncommon finding in an infant with an upper neck problem.
