Why Adjust Newborns, Babies and Kids?

Birth can be just as stressful for the baby as it is for Mom. Twisting, tractioning, pulling, rotational stresses, hyperextension of the neck, and/or suctioning forces during birth can put a lot of pressure and tension on the baby’s delicate head, spine, ligaments, muscles, and limbs. Long or difficult labor, malpositions like breech birth, Pitocin during labor, and any type of significant intervention during birth can have similar results. All of these can cause imbalances in the nervous system and may result in problems like:

• latching issues

• wry neck/torticollis

• sleeping problems

• digestive problems, especially constipation and colic

• excessive crying

• ear infections

• asthma

Adjustments may help reduce or resolve these symptoms.

Older babies and kids may also have unresolved issues originating from their birth experience. The usual tumbles, falls, and bumps that come with learning to walk can also affect the spine.

Babies and kids who have had a perfectly smooth start in life can also benefit from chiropractic care.
