Why Do Babies Need Chiropractic Care? 🍼👶🏼✨
Did you know that birth is one of the most physically demanding experiences a baby will go through? Whether vaginal or C-section, the process can put stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system—especially the neck.
This little one came in with restricted neck movement, a common issue after birth that can affect feeding, comfort, and development. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper range of motion, making it easier for babies to turn their heads, latch during feeding, and develop symmetrically.
Research suggests that chiropractic care for infants may also help with:
✔️ Improving sleep – Spinal misalignments can contribute to discomfort, affecting sleep patterns.
✔️ Easing colic & reflux – Chiropractic care has been linked to reduced symptoms of colic and reflux by improving vagus nerve function.
✔️ Supporting development – Proper spinal alignment enhances nerve communication, which is crucial for motor milestones like rolling, crawling, and walking.
Chiropractic care for babies is gentle and safe—no cracking or popping, just light pressure (about the same as pressing on a ripe tomato!).
If you’ve noticed your baby preferring one side, struggling to turn their head, or having feeding difficulties, chiropractic care may help! Have questions? Drop them below! ⬇️💬
