Why should newborns be adjusted after birth?
Birth can be a stressful event for both baby and mama. Even the most relaxing home births come with their own traumas to the body, & sometimes we forget the amount of pressure that was exerted on our baby during the process! Baby is squeezed, pushed, twisted and sometimes pulled or vacuumed out, so of course they may have some spinal misalignments at the end of their journey!
Spinal misalignments create stress on the nervous system, which may manifest as: tension, visible discomfort, fussiness, colic, excessive gas, constipation, sleep abnormalities, latch and nursing issues, and more! Chiropractic helps to make sure baby’s nervous system is not in a stressed state so they are more comfortable while they learn to adapt to this big world!
Our infant exams are extensive and check for tension, tongue/lip/buccal tie, primitive reflexes and more. We make sure to address any issues early on that may cause milestone delays or problems as baby grows.
