YES! Chiropractic care is very gentle and can be very effective for babies! Why would a baby need a chiropractic adjustment? Well, even a “routine” birth can put a lot of pressure on a baby’s spine, and Ofcourse more so with the use of vacuum or forceps. The resulting spinal misalignments can result in many issues such as torticollis, nursing difficulties, colic and reflux.
The amount of force used to adjust a baby is much less than the force used to burp a baby. If you were to place the pad of your finger on top of your eyelid such that it doesn’t hurt, that is about equivalent to the amount of force used to adjust an infant’s spine.
