Many people do not realize that babies need chiropractic, too! We cannot tell you the number of times we have heard someone ask, “why would my baby need to see a chiropractor?” Well, here’s why!
Upwards of 80% of newborns are born with issues in their upper necks/spinal columns due to the birthing process, and this number only increases with stressful pregnancies, long labors, incorrectly positioned babies and Cesarean sections. Babies do not typically feel pain when they have these issues, but do tend to have increased chances of sleeping issues, latching difficulties, reflux/colic, digestive issues, immune system issues and even developmental delays, in some cases.
Adjustments are extremely gentle, and so necessary if there is stress present in their spinal and neurological systems, as neurological development in the first year of life is exponential! To be able to ensure your baby’s neurological development is on track will only positively support their trajectory of health and adaptability as they grow! When little ones’ brains can fully communicate with their bodies as they develop, we see happier, healthier babies (and happier, more well-rested parents, too!)!
The sooner a little one can be checked and adjusted (if needed), the better! There is no age too young to begin!
